About

My name is Ang. I’m 29. I live in Minnesota.

I make websites and pet my cats. I’ve been known to watch the TV or play the LOTRO or SWTOR. Often chat the chat. I’m almost always online, giggling at articles and goofy pictures. I love internet memes. My dog is a spaz. I’m quick to anger. I relish in WTF-ness. I ♥ NYC. I have a phobia of taxidermy.

So who the crap am I?

I am a 29-year-old unwed lady American, of Finnish and Norwegian descent. To say I’m “white” would be putting it mildly. I work as a location-independent web designer  and front-end web developer for hire (seriously, hire me!).

I returned to university in the Fall of 2010! I’m majoring in Graphic Design, with minors in Photography and Art History. The Graphic Design and Photography are to improve my skills and services in my web design career. I know Art History is pretty useless, but damn if it isn’t interesting and entertaining. And I only have to take a couple extra classes to have it as a minor. Knowledge is sexy.

What am I like.

I’m pretty boring. I’ve never been through any huge traumas. My parents are still married and we all get along great. I graduated high school along with everyone else when I was supposed to. (High honors with an A-average, even. Nerd!) I’ve never been engaged or married, no kids. I don’t do anything EXTREMEEEE. I’ve never been in a fist-fight (or hair-pulling-fight). I don’t party. I drink occasionally and rarely to drunkenness. I have, honestly, never smoked or consumed any kind of tobacco or illegal drugs. Seriously. I’m not even a fan of caffeine.

And I’m an atheist.

I don’t subscribe to any specific religion or political party. I like to think I’m a good person. I believe in the Golden Rule. I think being charitable and looking out for others is a good way to be. You never know when you may need help, yourself. I used to think I was pretty selfish; then I saw how certain types of people love to piss all over the rights and well-being of our fellow humans. Wow. I’m all about liberty and equal rights. If you don’t like something: don’t do it. It really is that simple. Seriously. I have feelings and leanings toward being liberal, conservative, and libertarian.

For better or worse, I like to be open and honest. I try not to be brutally blunt, but it happens. There’s a fine line between “just being honest” and “just being an asshole”. Sure, there are times I just want to be an asshole! I have strong opinions, but I will always try to look at things from the opposite side. How better to understand your opinions than to know why someone would disagree?  I like to learn and grow, thus (depending on the opinion) I’m not above being convinced that I was wrong. I hate feeling like I need to censor myself. I do it, to a degree, but I still need to be myself. Which is sometimes rude and mean.

Also, I have a filthy and inappropriate sense of humor. >=]

Things that make me go “ooo…”

I have many pleasures, guilty or otherwise. The ones I’ll admit to: privately enjoying pop music from the late ’90s/early ’00s. Classic rock of the ’70s and ’80s. The Secret Garden from 1993. Reruns of Friends, Roseanne, and Buffy. Snuggling my face into my cat’s belly. Spending a day without even getting out of pajamas. Internet memes. Stand-up comedy. DQ. Meat. Cheese. High fives. Reading my old Pippi Longstocking books. Back and shoulder massages. Chatting. Genetics and teratology. Shiny things. Snuggles.

Home life.

I have a little house of my own, as well as a dog and 3 cats, of whom I take many photos. I enjoy my humble surroundings. My mother moved in with me in December 2009 at my request — so we could both save money and live with a little less stress. People tell me “I could never live with my mother again!” but somehow it just works. We respect each other’s space and privacy. I’d consider her a best friend.

Sweet, sweet lovin’.

I started dating a Navy gentleman in July 2011. We were in high school together, and got in contact about 12 years later. His ship is in Europe, and alas, I am in the US. He has about 7 years left of the sailor life. The separation is no fun! I have a feeling it will be worth it though. We are all kinds of silly and geeky, and we get along great. A good match, you could say. I miss him dearly. ♥

My boyfriend got a job stationed in the Washington DC area in early 2012, so I will be moving in with him in May! Holy crap!
