Bio

I live in central Florida, have a cute black cat named Dragon, love tv way too much (lol! 😆), I'm very introverted and shy, hate professional and college sports and most news channels except the more conservative news stuff which I can watch in short bursts, love old music videos that I used to watch when I was a kid before VH1 was full of stupid and often trashy reality shows (yay YouTube for having my favorite songs), eating sweets and chips, playing with my cat, swimming, bowling, and board games. My favorite board games are Monopoly, Clue, and Payday but I also enjoy Parcheesi, Sorry, Trouble, Jumanji, Scrabble, and Life.

I'm currently learning Latvian, ASL, French, German, Japanese, Swedish.  I'm nowhere near conversational in them yet though.  Lol. I'm still new at them, except Japanese and ASL, but I am trying to refresh my memory of them because I forgot almost everything I learned. I don't retain information very long usually and I stupidly forgot to write everything down.  XD I also don't always process the sounds correctly so I'm much better at reading than speaking or listening. I use subtitles for foreign movies and anime, as well as English speaking shows and movies.  I just wish people would talk a little slower sometimes so I can process the sounds better.

I've never traveled outside the Eastern and Southeastern US, but I hope to do that someday, especially to other countries, particularly Latvia, Ireland, Scandinavia, and other places in Europe, and Japan.  I love traveling and looking up information on the countries and cities I'm interested in, but too poor to actually go to them right now. I don't have a passport yet either. Lol

I have Asperger's, ADHD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, Depression, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, IBS, migraines, Sensory Processing Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, peanut and tree nut allergies, asthma, carpal tunnel, and food sensitivities/intolerances among other things. Mental health issues are just as important as physical health issues to me.  I'm working on getting help for them, though it's hard when you're poor and your insurance doesn't cover everything.

I don't support woke leftist/progressive views.  I strongly disagree with most of them, more specifically with how the left is going about them. Please don't contact me or leave me comments if you're gonna push the left's agenda down my throat or insult me.  I won't engage with you on that, just ignore or delete the comments/posts. I'm not gonna let you treat me like crap because I disagree with you. I'm an atheist interestingly enough, despite being a conservative, generally pro-life, and a Republican.  I was raised Roman Catholic but left the church in my mid-20s. I'm not far-right, more like moderately right-winged.  I'm generally not gonna discuss politics to most people though until I learn to trust them and if I know they won't attack me because of my views. And even then I'm still not super political, at least not actively. I don't go to rallies, protests (just sign petitions online), or anything like that. 

I found out about Asexuality in my early 30s, though I've never had any sexual attraction to anyone, even as a teenager.  I never even dated. I spent a long time feeling like I was weird because I didn't have sex or have interest in it like everyone else seemed to. There was so much pressure to have sex.  I thought something was wrong with me until I found out there's a name for it.  I'm open to a relationship with a cisgender man, has some similar interests and usually similar views to mine, and I want kids (I have lots of girls' names picked out. Still working on boys' names), but it's been impossible finding someone who understands Asexuality and respects me, or is even Asexual himself.  I'm very pro-home schooling or nonreligious private school (if there are any, and private schools are so expensive.  I went to public school and it was a nightmare, especially with my disabilities and lack of support, and the bullying and abuse I went through), hate the public school system, and for the post part I'm pro-adoption. I don't consider myself part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I do respect other Asexuals who are.

Interests: Baking, photography, growing vegetables, vegan food, cats, drawing, writing/reading fanfiction, crime novels, true crime documentaries, MasterChef, 80s music, 90s music, Oldies music, movies, traveling, Latvia, American Sign Language, foreign languages, baby names, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Felicity, Jem (cartoon), Flashpoint, CSI: Miami, classic Sailor Moon/PGSM, Full House, ER, InuYasha, Tenchi Muyo/Tenchi Universe, Animaniacs, Home Alone, The Simpson's, South Park, Family Guy, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Austin Powers, Shrek, Uncle Buck, Curly Sue, Independence Day, Armageddon, The Green Mile, Mrs. Doubtfire, reading books and webpages/watching films about the Holocaust, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, forensic science, cooking, The Power Puff Girls (the original one), Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Ed Edd & Eddy, Pinky and the Brain, Mermaid Melody/Mermaid Melody Pure, Criminal Minds, original Law & Order/SVU, Futurama, Neon Genesis Evangelion, S-cry-ed, Fruits Basket, Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil games, Tomb Raider games, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Silent Hill, Bioshock, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Grand Theft Auto, Dragon Ball Z, Danielle Steel novels, Problem Child. I refuse to watch Marvel, DC Comics, modern Disney/Pixar, Harry Potter except the first two movies, Twilight, 50 Shades, Glee, American Idol/The Voice/Masked Singer, Dancing with the Stars, LotR, GoT, Stranger Things, Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, or One Piece, also pretty much anything modern unless it's a crime documentary on a case I'm interested in, a forensics documentary, or a cooking/baking competition. I'm very selective about what I watch or read and get bored and lose focus easily and quickly.
