Alright, Alright, Alright... An Intro Post Comes First, Yes?

So... and introduction of sorts? I suppose I'll bullet-point this to make it easier for my brain to sort out and slightly more interesting to read:

Basics:
  • My name is Kristina
  • I'm 23, nearly 24
  • I own a dog and two cats
  • I'm married, but only very technically (see "Struggles" below)
  • I work for barely over minimum wage at a chain grocery store in the roughest fresh department
  • I live in the fabulous Puget Sound, WA, 15 hours away from my closest family

Likes:
  • hamburgers
  • milkshakes
  • musicals
  • science fiction books and movies
  • bad puns
  • tea with milk and sugar in the morning
  • nerdy boys
  • nerdy games like the Bioshock series and Morrowind
  • getting let off of work early
Dislikes:
  • peas, raisins, and carrots
  • rude customers
  • fewer than 5 hours of sleep
  • bad fanfiction
  • decaf coffee
  • terrible drivers
Hobbies:
  • reading ALL OF THE BOOKS
  • browsing netflix
  • making quilts and fabulous 50's-style dresses
  • baking cheesecakes and pies
  • talking to nerdy folks
  • reblogging things things on tumblr that are way more clever than anything I could come up with on my own
  • watching all of the disney movies over and over and over

Struggles (so you can see why I'm so batty, of course!):
  • bipolar type I
  • borderline personality disorder
  • EDNOS (technically recovered but lets not pretend that that isn't an issue)
  • survivor (not "victim") of domestic abuse via my husband, who is now sitting in the Miramar brig because he made the mistake of stalking and trying to murder a lady who would fight back. 8 months and countless court dates after my first NCIS interview, I won. 
  • former self-injurer, hoping to keep it that way
  • general anxiety issues resulting in panic attacks that occasionally put me in the ER
  • living under the poverty line
  • PTSD

What you can expect from this blog:

  • blabbering
  • nonsense
  • gibberish
  • whining and complaining
  • over-excitement about small victories in my life
