My introduction

As I said as my introduction to my blog site, a lot of people tell me that they are "sick and tired of hearing me complain". Personally, I feel like I have a lot to complain about. But they are half right, I don't always bring the good news along with the bad. That may be because I don't always have good news. So someone suggested blogger to me. I'm not sure if this is going to work, but I'll try it out.

Before anyone asks, no, I will not give out my real name, address, or other such personal information that would allow you to figure out where I am. Anything else, what is going on in my life, how I feel about the current political climate, and other such things that may pop into my head are fair game for me. Some of the things I will say here may piss off a few people if they see it, but then again, those people aren't really my friends anyway. So anyway, on with the introduction.

I'm a 23 years old (will be 24 in December) female with a lot of opinions. I love to do anything artistic, and have a strong passion for interior design. I would get into that as a career, if I didn't have a strong interest in all things that relates to how people are treated in this world. This often gets me in trouble, as I have been known to fight with someone over political issues. You may not agree with my liberal believe system, and you can say so in comment, but trust me, all of the things I believe in I have facts to back it up, and I'm not affraid to use them.

In my dream life I'm working for such organizations as the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) or NOW (National Organization for Women). You may be wondering why I am not on the fast track to making these my jobs. The truth is that I am on some kind of track to doing this, but that track is actually very slow.

This is because I'm disabled. I have an illness known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD for short). In short, this means I am in constant physical pain, and it usually isn't the type of pain that most are used to. It is excruciating pain. I take heavy pain killers, and have lots of diffent types of treatment that I go through. Some of these work, some of them don't. You'll hear more about them as the days, weeks, and months go by.

You may look at this blog and think "wow, this girl really does have a lot to complain about" or you may think "wow, my life is a lot worse off then this". I don't try to win any good life/bad life competitions. My life just is what it is. Really, when I talk to my friends, I simply tell them what is going on in my life that day, and often the news isn't so plesent. So that's what I plan to do here, tell you what is going on in my life. Hopefully some people will read it. And if not, I can use this as my own little place to vent.

More to come later!

Blessed be!

P.S Every day I will write down how many American soldiers have died in the war in Iraq, and how much money it is costing us. This is because I am very much against the war and people don't see enough how much it is costing us. This area I will call "what are government is costing us". So here's what they have cost us today:

2454 soldiers killed 17648 wounded 282, 553, 660, 400 dollars spent. sigh...when will we learn???
