Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Intro Post/Thread

Hi!! I'm Violet (but feel free to call me Vi). I've been on the CB...off and on for quite some time, using different names (I used a nickname based on my legal name for around 13 years, and then I chose a name I thought would fit the way I perceived my gender at the time, and then that changed and now this is my name). I'd prefer not to disclose names I've used previously here, because I was really young (I think in my earliest comment I was around 10-11) and, quite frankly, embarrassing. 

I live with...a lot of symptoms, some of which fit neatly into boxes (= hydrocephalus, chronic pain, Chiari malformation) and some of which are just...a mess (= various mental things that I don't feel comfortable talking about so publicly. I was in the IBMYP program from 6th grade through 10th grade, but I won't be continuing on to the Diploma program due to mental health concerns.

Now on to the fun stuff!! (a.k.a. where I force y'all to read about my incredibly boring life) 

- I was raised Reform Jewish!!!! By my dad!!!!!! Who is a convert!!!!!! And I'm going to the mikvah in a few months according to the junior rabbi at my synagogue, who's been leading my (greatly accelerated due to my Reform upbringing) conversion. Talk about hype.
- I'm approaching my 5-month anniversary with my significant other, whose name is Ash.
- I HAVE A JOB THAT HAS CONSISTENT HOURS AS OF YESTERDAY!!! (= July 7 2017)
- Before that, I worked at a cooking camp with my dad, which was fun, but my supervisor scheduled me...very rarely.
- I write poetry...so much poetry. I desperately want to link to my writing blog, but I'm fairly certain the Admins still don't allow linking to external social media profiles.
- At the start of the next school year, I will have been taking Latin for 6 years.
- The most extra thing I've ever done was the time I made a project about Roman graves with my person being buried whose name was like... Julia Mania whatever and she was "survived by her loving wife." I think that's when my Latin teacher knew, like super extra No Doubt About It knew, but there's no telling. 
- I despise punctuation. And capitalization. And, occasionally, grammar. Typing all proper to give the Admins less of a headache is making me feel like a different person, haha. 

I think that's enough for now... It'll give y'all some stuff to talk about. Hope to talk to y'all soon!!!

P.S. When will Vi tone down her Southern mannerisms? Probably never.
