About Me

From what I know, there are approximately three people who read my blog; I know who you are.  For any aimless travelers or passers by, allow me to properly introduce myself -- it has occurred to me that I haven't yet done so.  Firstly, my name is Ashley and this is my blog.  In this blog, I will be discussing things that I am passionate about, with you.  For instance, I am a vegetarian; here, I will post recipes, brands I enjoy, animal free alternatives, and resources for a cruelty free diet.  Also, I am environmentally conscious.  This blog will feature tips on how you can reduce your carbon footprint and other resources I enjoy as well as information on the state of the environment and how our different choices have consequences.  And, of course, since I am a full time student, I will be venting on here -- periodically -- about school stresses and revelations.  OH!  And I'm a book junkie so prepare yourself for reviews.  And you'll be seeing a sassy young bear-wizard named Padfoot who will occasionally be recommending you things.
Anyway, here is a little bit about me, as a person:

  • My name is Ashley.
  • I am 22 years old.
  • I am an English major focusing on British and American literature.
  • I write.
  • Thankfully, I have never had nor have I needed braces.
  • My joints hyper-extend.
  • My hair is so thick that it impedes my ability to wear hats and use hoods.
  • For the first 11 years of my life, I had no idea that any music apart from "golden oldies" existed.
  • As part of my writing process, I talk to myself.
  • My first crush was on Johnny Depp at age five.
  • I'm chronically polite.
  • When I was learning how to walk, I decided to try running first but was too indecisive and ran into a door frame.  As a result I have a scar on my forehead.
  • I'm pragmatic and cynical.
  • Raw or barely cooked tomatoes disgust me.
  • I'd rather watch someone play a video game than actually play it myself (depending on the game) because it's like watching a movie.  Also, when it comes to shooters, I'm sort of jumpy.
  • I grew up watching Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, and Twin Peaks.
  • A large part of me has always wanted to be a bad ass.
  • My closest friends have been in my life for 10+ years.
  • I treat my webcam like it's a two-way mirror.
  • I have a sub-par liver.
  • Since I was little, I've been obsessed with England.
  • I am constantly on the look out for my new favorite coffee mug.
  • Sometimes I spell things the Canadian or English way instead of the American way; I like to add the letter 'u' into words.
  • I have a tumblr; it has the same name as this blog.
  • I'm probably the least computer savvy person you're likely to not meet.
  • Almost every crush I have had in my life has been on a fictional character. 
  • The only thing really keeping me from being a vegan is my strange attachment to nutella.


I guess that's it...
Read my blog, I guess.
Oh, and follow me on twitter.
Hmm.  Yeah, I think that's it.
