I'm a clinical therapist who also writes for a media outlet as a freelancer. Between those two things, when I have time, I hang out with friends, watch bad reality TV (but I get paid for it), go to the movies, paint, collage, draw, read, drink lots of wine and sing karaoke. Shut up, or I will bust out the Journey on you. Also, I suffer from total wanderlust and will travel anywhere.

Note to Disney part The Second: Bring Back The Adventurer's Club, dammit.
(Seriously. Stop taking the magic out of the Magic Kingdom, especially in favor of more shopping & dining. I can shop and eat in plenty of other places. The Adventurer's Club was one of kind.)

Wait, what am I congratulating you for? School? Work? Family? Saving the world armed only with a rolling pin, 2 rabid puppies, and a pimped out ice cream truck?
I really hope it involves a pimped out ice cream truck.
