About Me

Some of you are new to my journal, so I'm just going to give a short bio on me in case there's any confusion:

Name: Heather
 

City: Chicago suburbs
 

I'm married to a man who is a Case Manager for Early Intervention, serving children with disabilities ages 0-3. I work as a User Experience Design consultant for a large IT consulting company, where I get to work for many clients. Right now I'm working for a client that is a well known brand of truck rentals. ;) I love to design and I love my job because I get to work from home, I have great benefits and so much flexibility. I'm also a proud volunteer for the Girl Scouts of America and a Troop mom of a Brownie.
 

I have a young daughter. She's my star and the light of my life. 

We have three pets; a Treeing Walker Coonhound named Holly (8), a beagle named Heidi (4) and a scrappy brown tiger tabby cat named Bastet (5).
 

I also freelance, doing graphic design, web design and editing. Also tarot reading.

I'm also a self-published author and try to do more original writing for publication.
 

We bought a house in 2016 and it was a good deal, but it needs a lot of upkeep so I will be talking about it for awhile, especially the landscaping and the garage. 
 

Hobbies include reading, writing, drawing, gardening, and baking. 

Fandoms: I'm not very active in fandom anymore. I occasionally join a Big Bang or fic event, but otherwise I focus on finishing WIPs and doing short stories when I have time. I have varied interests in shows, from asian dramas to anime to the Marvel series. 

Regular Fandoms: Doctor Who, The Apothecary Diaries, Heaven's Official Blessing, Yuri on Ice, MDZS, Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Heroes, Love in the Air, Guardian, Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, Good Omens, and Fence. I am addicted to Asian dramas, especially BL.
 

Politics are: LGBQT-advocate, super liberal, democratic socialist and Green. I am NEVER-Trump. 
 

Sexuality: I consider myself pansexual, though I've been married to my husband and the love of my life since 2008.
 

I consider myself a Dharma Pagan. Basically someone who follows Buddhist and Goddess-worship ideologies.
 
I have generalized anxiety and depression, and I work through it with my art, writing, and online journaling.
