starrfire | Meme] Info about myself - updated and improved!

Name: Randi Mara Nemeroff
Nicknames: Starrfire, Starr, Nikitah, Nikki, Ran or Rand, Randopolis, Randorph the Destroyer *dun dun dun*, Shorty, Monkey, Squishy, (there's more I just can't think of them all right now)
Birthday:February 8, 1981
Age: 30, but I'll always be a kid at heart.
Sex: Female
Zodiac: Aquarius
Chinese zodiac? Cock...I think?

Hair: dark brown with lighter brown highlights (especially in the summer) .
Eyes: dark brown.
Height: 4'11.5" I used to be 5.5' but I shrank (my scoliosis) and I have one leg shorter than the other. How do you think I got the nickname shorty? TT_TT
Body Type: Chubby! But I'm hoping to get back down to a size 14/16. Eventually I wanna get to a size 12. ;3

Relationship Status: Engaged.
Kids: Not sure yet. Right now, no. Perhaps in a couple years. I want to be sure we're secure...but a part of me likes the idea of not having to take care of kids. I like my freedom entirely too much. LOL
Pets: I've had doggies since I was little. And we had two hamsters, and some fish when I was a kid...but they all passed away. ♥
Siblings: my older sister, who is just got married in May and is having a baby girl. ^_^ I'm gonna be an aunty! We get along most of the time, but we have had a few huge fights, but eventually made up.

Religious Views: I was raised as a Reform Jew. Right now, I feel that I identify with Jewish Mysticism, Earth based religions (like Shamanism) and I'm currently having trouble with feeling acceptance or a sense of belonging in the Jewish Community. So right now I'm experimenting with a Jewish Pagan Identity. I think I find various religious beliefs fascinating, and I kinda piece together my own spirituality. But as far as my family knows, I'm still a straight up Reform Jew. (a lot of them wouldn't understand) and very few friends know what I'm going through spiritually right now.

Political Views: Democrat. Liberal through and through.
City/State/Country: Akron/Ohio/USA but I'm getting tired of Blohio
Favourite Colour(s): purple. then pink, then silver, then black. :D
Favorite Flower: I love lily of the valley, Roses, and anything that attracts humming birds and butterflies
Favourite Movie(s): Too. Many. To. List.
Favorite Song(s): Gah... again...too many songs to list.
5 Random Facts about you:
1.
2.
3. I first started playing Maplestory when it was beta in college. some friends suggested it to me. Then when the official game came out I was pissed because I worked so hard on my char and lost everything. What I didn't know was MS was rewarding the people who beta'd the game with exclusive stuff...but I was so mad I didn't play for months before I finally caved and wanted to see how it was. and look now: level 80 something Mechanic, and nearly a character for every single path possible. *facepalms* But it's boring when no one plays with me...! *sadface*
4. I don't like my nose. It's huge.
5. I have scoliosis and fibromyalgia so I'm in pain pretty much 24/7. I try not to complain about it, so I pretty much suffer in silence. But sometimes, I really wish I woke up one day without feeling pain, or go to bed not hurting. It's been like this for years though. I don't remember the last time I wasn't in constant pain. TT^TT

Story behind your username:
1. I used to go by the name Starrfox on prodigy classic's bulletin boards. I dunno when it morphed into Starrfire but here it is. I used to also have a username Nikitah...hence that nickname (my dad is really the only one who still calls me Nikki though. It's kinda nice. ^_^)

List 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1. Desperately seeking Employment
2. Looking for places to move to (so when the house is foreclosed on we're not homeless)
3. Maybe going to start RP'ing again...I haven't written in ages.
4. Attempting to make some Jewelry to sell at Mabon Festival.....
5. Trying to decide what I want to do with my life (career more specifically) Do I want to go back to college and get a degree in something other than art. I'll hate it, but if it pays the bills....I guess I have no room to complain.

Parents:
Mom has her moments. Of being amazing, to being downright cruel.
Dad- I used to hate him after he left my mom, but I had no idea as to why. (Now that I do, I totally understand, and don't blame him) I am really close to my dad again, have been since I was about 14. It took about a year to get over the whole him wanting to divorce mom.

Who are some of your closest friends?
So many of my rl people have moved, left in some fashion, and we barely talk anymore. Then there are the small few that I do talk to regularly, and have been there for me through some pretty tough times. I appreciate all of my friends though. I love my online friends as much as I do my rl friends.

What are some of the things you like most?
1. Yaoi!
2. tv
3. playing video games online (maplestory, guild wars...) though recently I've been playing a little Fallout New Vegas. I still miss the interaction with ppl though.
4. food. both eating and cooking it, but most of the time Aaron does the cooking, and I do the eating. lol
5. Anime/manga in general. I think without it, I dunno where I'd be standing now.
6. My f-list, obviously.
7. Art...It really is my life...and without being able to express myself through it, I'm lost. (so you can understand how lost I feel because I haven't been able to create anything in a long time)

I'm not big on describing myself to people
I'd rather you just observe me, and make your own conclusions about my personality...but if I had to I guess I'd say I'm eccentric, a dork, funny, silly, weird, wired (ADHD wooo!), caring, friendly,open minded, artistic... You get the idea.I have more likes, but I'd hope this gives you a good idea whether or not we might have enough in common to become friends. I'm also hoping this get's me posting more on my lj cause facebook and tumblr has slowly taken over my life. LOL
