Sooooo...I'm Athena.

The Facts According to Me:

I'm 24. I've been married for 6 years to Jeff, my high school sweetheart _~. He's my love, my life, and my very own pain in the ass. I'm a lucky girl.

We have two crazy, creative kids, Zeke,6. and Cambria,3. And energetic. No, that's not the right word. Energetic doesn't cover it. It's more like I feed them crack-coated cocoa puffs every morning.

I'm a website editor for a search engine site, kidzui.com. It's awesome work and I do it from home. Although, I see some pretty disgusting stuff. My home in Amsterdam was about two blocks from the red light district; I know disgusting.

I was born in the U.S. of A and grew up in the Netherlands. Yeah, that's where Amsterdam is. No, I'm not getting you any pot.

Things I believe/know/think/learned/etcera'd:

I'm opinionated and critical, yet empathetic. I've been accused by some of being arrogant; those people are obviously beneath me(jk). Promises will most likely be broken by the people you trust the most. I really liked 1999, but not the song. God bless the folks that invented black licorice and the popcorn-flavored jellybean. Money does not buy happiness. "High-fiving" your mouth when your about to throw up will only lead to five streams of vomit. Never step in rain puddles outside a bar, it's not rain. You can't please everyone. My vote counts, as does yours. Every race has their own version of "white trash". Call me "little lady" and you will be sucker-punched, guaranteed. I'm not above violence. The first working flush toilet was invented in 1596, but they didn't bother to invent toilet paper until 1857. I love learning about our history. Apparently, we've always been smart creatures. It's possible to have morals and be a complete scumbag; people don't always use what they have. Jealousy is a waste of time and energy. And I'm tired. People that don't stand up to let old folks/sick folks/mothers with small children sit in their place piss me off beyond recognition. I'm Dutch to the core; impeccable manners and a crass, dark, and perverted sense of humor. And if you can't laugh at yourself, better learn; otherwise life's gonna feel a whole lot longer than you like.

I'm a bibliophile. No, I don't molest books, though there are some fictional characters that I would, IF they were real(I told you I'm perverted). Anyway, I read a lot of sci-fi fantasy and romance, but I'll read just about any genre. Currently, I am addicted to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Although, addicted is not a big enough word for it. I can't stop reading and re-reading it. I dream about Edward, Bella, Jake, and being attacked by cereal-eating grizzly bears. Yeah, seriously scary stuff. The series has beautiful, intricate, and intriguing relationships. It's not the most sophisticated work of art, but it has a style that is incredibly seductive. Props to Mrs. Meyer. She rocks my socks, right outta my humble shoes.

One of many things I wanted to do(still might, who knows?) is teach College English. Psychology, too. All those wasted years of AP classes in high school. I do a little massage therapy on the side for fun.

I'm just R&Ring right now. I'll post something when I'm pleased with my work.
