I took five trips this year, all of them motivated by my love for Wynonna Earp and Earpers. Here's a totally self-indulgent recap.

ISFJ - THE DEFENDER. "If I Can Protect You, I Will" I've only ever really wanted to be one thing, a superhero. I was obsessed.

The first step is usually the same, “set a goal”, so it's no wonder I don't move forward. For years I've just been flailing without anything to work toward, without a real reason to get out of bed.

My Marfan Syndrome
Most people have never heard of Marfan Syndrome. I know I hadn't until I was diagnosed with it at age 31, explaining a lifetime of injuries and health problems. I may be a bit biased, as someone whose life has been ruined by the disorder, but I find it somewhat fascinating in how it affects … Continue reading My Marfan Syndrome
Twitter Q&A
Here are the answers to a few questions I received on twitter. Thank you to the people who humored me and asked stuff.

I Want You To Read My Blog. Please?
I want to matter again, and I don't think a blog is going to accomplish that, but at least I'm doing something and I need something to do.
