Hi There.

[nurseymeg]

NAME: Meg

AGE: I am 33 years old as of April.  Holy cow.
 
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I am interested in school, hah.  It's probably terribly nerdy of me to say, but I love learning.  I'm about to embark on my first semester as a nursing student, so I'd say the vast majority of my posts will have something to do with college or nursing.  Or both.  Probably both.

Aside from that, I enjoy being physically active.  I'm learning to sword fight - German long sword, if anyone's interested - as well as proper usage of the dagger.  I also love to read.  I'm currently working my way through JRR Tolkien's greatest hits.  I recently finished The Hobbit and am now reading The Fellowship of The Ring.  I also just read A Wrinkle In Time, but it didn't wow me.  I might give the second book a try once I finish with my current set.

I don't watch a lot of TV except during [American] football season.  I do enjoy going to the movies, especially if there's a new Marvel film playing.

I love to crochet and quilt and bake.  I love cats and chickens and time at the beach.  I don't know - what else would you like to know?  I'm an open book.  All you have to do is ask.  :)
 
LOOKING FOR: Anything, I suppose.  I don't mind fandom.  I'm pretty open about fanfic and will read most anything, regardless if I know the fandom or not.

I would enjoy hearing about daily life.  I would like to learn what other people are doing, how they're feeling, what they're thinking.  If there are any fellow college students or medical professionals out there I would definitely like to hear how life is going for you.

ANYTHING ELSE?: I joined DW over four months ago and have only today made my first post, hah.  I'm going to be better about that, though.  I may not post daily, but I definitely want to make writing a regular part of my life.

Anyway, thanks so much for reading!

Growing up, they worked at different places (my mom was at a hospital, my step-dad at a mental health institute) and they worked different shifts. We had maybe 2 nights a week where it was all 4 of us for dinner, so we got some interesting dinner conversations.

I love crafting. It started out accidentally - I'd crocheted for years, but then one day hubby asked about a pair of hand knit socks and ... Oh boy! I went from barely knowing how to knit and bind off directly into making a pair of socks - that fit! :)

I adore Cap. Iron Man. Hulk (I've adored Hulk since I was a little girl... LONG before Mark Ruffalo lol). And a massive soft spot for Bucky. I need more icons over here - they're mostly on my LJ.

Hah, I bet y'alls dinner conversations were pretty wild! I used to get in trouble if I tried to talk anything medical or body-related at the dinner table.

I'd love to learn how to knit. I can cast on and do a basic knit stitch, but that's about as far as I've come. My aunt recently sent me a knit book full of sweater patterns though, so that might be a fun (and/or daunting) project for the future.

Aw, I love Bucky too! Doesn't he have some kind of show coming out with Falcon soon? I feel like I've heard rumors about that but I'm not sure if it ever got the green light.

One of the first times I ever took my husband to dinner, they were going on about body fluids and puss and while my brother and I were fine, it was normal, my husband was very green around the gills. LOL

There's LOTS of great videos on Youtube for learning to knit. Also, if you have any good knitting shops around, a lot of times they'll do lessons (example, the one I work at, we'll do lessons for free as long as the materials are bought through us).

Yep, he does! I haven't heard much more about it, though, but I'm looking forward to it!

[nurseymeg]

Hah, oh no! My sister gets the same way if she even thinks I'm steering the conversation in that direction.

Oh, that's true! I never considered visiting a knit shop to seek lessons. Do you enjoy working there? I imagine I'd love being surrounded by beautiful yarns all day. I'd have a hard time not buying up the whole place. :)

[raynedanser]

I love working there. I work at a funeral home the rest of the week, so it's a nice break from that. We have some AMAZING yarns and my stash is big enough my husband had to build me a closet last summer. LMAO I'm trying very hard to use stuff up, though, before buying much more.

[nurseymeg]

Hah, I tend to oscillate between attempting to use up my stash and worrying that my stash is getting too small. I love that you have a dedicated yarn closet. I currently keep mine on a shelf but I aspire to one day having an entire craft room with floor-to-ceiling yarn storage organizers.

It's good to have goals. :)
