The Padded Room (or stuff about me)

Personal Info -
I am pretty tall (5'11"), with long curly redish-blonde hair (at least right now), and unusual eyes. I say they're unusual because they change colors with my moods. I have long legs, and I'm pleasantly substantial (that was my mom's phrase). I weigh about 220-230lbs, so I'm not thin (by any stretch of the imagination), but I'm not huge. In high school I was a weight-lifter, as well as a wrestler, (which means, yes, lots of muscle mass) and I loved to walk everywhere. Of course I still love to walk everywhere, and I am slowly but surely getting myself back into my high school shape... after letting myself go for ~4~ years. Sheesh. My interests are basically anything fun. grin To be specific, fun to me is first and foremost anything to do with computers. Next would be anything to do with hot cars/trucks/motorcycles. (I have always had a dream to buy a Harley when I can get enough money saved up.) After that I'd have to say writing. I'm something of a poet, and everyone tells me that my poetry is very good, but I am my own worst critic. If you'd like to read some of my poetry (and some of my friend's), go here. I also love to sleep. Lastly, I love to sing, bead, and make many different kinds of Jewlery.
I'm of Irish descent mainly, with a little bit of Scot, Norwegian, and English. My great grandmother on my father's side is reported to be Slavey. The breakdown is pretty much this: 1/2 Irish - 1/4 Scotch - 1/4 everything else in the order I wrote it. Yeah, sounds about right to me.I am currently 25 years old (26 on September 12th), and am living in Whitehorse, Yukon. (That's in Canada) I have one brother, Nessim, who is no longer married to Allison, but is living with Karen. I also have both of my original parents, (Rod) and (Barb) which is unusual in this day and age. I am currently working at a local A&W, making $11.00/hr working full time (and more.. I'm a supervisor, doing the AM's work). I've been there for going on 3 years, and there are more days that I hate my job, than there are that I love my job, but it's a job. There are still days that I love it and when those are gone, I will leave. I am paying off my car, and saving money for a road trip this summer. I no longer am obsessed with moving out of Whitehorse, even though yes, I still hate this town.My last job was as a cashier at a local Feilds store, where I was making $7.85/hr, and although I did a few months managing a used clothing store, I had to quit because of my boss. She was a real bitch. I really wish that I could find a job in or with computers, but so far the only thing that has turned up was in New York. A little to far away, and scary, for a small-town girl like me.I am also a very passionate person.
I feel strongly about many things in life, and I am not easily persuaded to change my opinions (unless of course you prove me wrong.. and I believe you). I am a hopeless romantic, but I believe that true romance is dead in this day and age. Or at least between two people, it is.
