Introducing myself !

I've been running this blog for over a year now, and only has it just occurred to me that I have never introduced myself.

So, this blog post will be me introducing myself. Enjoy!

I'm an autistic individual who has many, many, many hobbies.

I very much enjoy;

Playing OverWatch. It is my all time favourite game, I've been playing since it came out and I'm almost level 200! One of my favourite characters is Mcree, because it gives me a reason to say 'yeehaw'. Just ask my mum.

I draw basically everyday. I've been drawing since around age 9. I started off drawing very large anime girl heads, slowly transitioning to cartoons. I now draw realism, and add way too much shine.

I can read all day everyday. My favourite book series is the Twilight Saga. Team Edward! I can't wait for Midnight Sun to come out. I can read any of the books from the series within a few hours if I want to.

If twilight didn't exist, I'd have to say all of the Percy Jackson books were my favourite. I haven't finished them yet, however I absolutely love Nico! I'm reading the Kane Chronicles at the moment, and love how strong Sadie is.

I dream to someday own a Jeep, pink and white. I want to sit in the back of my car with lots of pillows and blankets watching the sunset at the beach.

Never a moment in my life have I sat still, even if I'm exhausted or ill. I'm constantly moving, fiddling my hands or tapping my feet.

Making friends has always been hard for me. I am extremely introverted, making it impossible to socialise with anyone new, and still struggling to socialise with those I know very well.

I have an obsession with unicorns. My room is stuffed with them, giant ones onto of my wardrobe, ornamental unicorns spread across my bookshelf, they even have a shelf of their own. I have a unicorn rainbow tape dispenser I was given for my birthday one time. I also have a knitted unicorn I was sent that I named Susan.

My windowsill has 4 plants, all different sizes on it. My favourite is my Aloe-Vera plant. I'm hoping to get a hanging plant.

I talk to my dog like he is a human, which honestly he sometimes acts like. He likes to stand on his back paws and be carried like a baby.

My anxiety very much used to rule my life, however that is not the case anymore. I still struggle with it a lot, but I have ways to cope and handle it.

I scrunch my nose whenever I am thinking or bored, or any time else. I don't know when I started doing this but it has become a huge habit for me.

To people who don't know me, I come across very quiet and shy. When someone has known me for a while, I get louder and more confident, however it is very hard for me to be myself completely around many people.

Many times when I have been stuck in a crowd, I have considered letting out a very loud scream that would definetly hurt their ears so they would let me through. I never have done this though but I can imagine it would be rather funny.

I love beaches but hate the feeling of sand. The sound of the sea pulling against the pebbles is the most calming sound to me. Next time you're at a beach, listen and I promise you will be very relaxed.

My brain buzzes with millions of thoughts a second. I am constantly blurting out facts I don't remember learning, however when I check them, they are always correct.

I could go on forever with this post, however I think I will leave this there.
