Who, me?

My inner color is yellow. Nicknamed Sunshine but the irony is my looks are deceiving, I can bite.

Labeling, I’m not fond of, but here goes with the definitive nouns.
The barebones: Haley is
a daughter of supportive parents
a sister to one older brother
an aunt of two awesomely adorable nieces
a girlfriend of a wonderfully loving man
a recent college graduate with a B.A. in Geography
an unemployed wanderer, I only have myself to blame
a vegetarian because our system is unsustainable
a hiker because nature is beautiful
an introverted poet at heart
a bombass dancer, I think
a traveller who is woefully stagnant at the moment
a friend who’ll tell you how it is
an accidental comedian, if only I could be funny on my own time

I nearly forgot- I’m deaf, too. How odd, I almost didn’t think of mentioning that. It may define a lot of who I am and it affects my life path but it’s never the final say.

I want to be-

dietician,

photographer,

a children’s book author,

artist,

certified raw chef,

confident, wise, and all that hullaboo.

I want to own-

a really good set of knives already acquired!

a digital SLR

art supplies,

and better gym clothes.

I grew up in Fife, Washington. Went to Boston University for a while, transferred to CSU, Northridge. Took one semester off, stayed in Brisbane, Australia for 5 months with my boyfriend (and it ended up being one of the best times of my life), and learned another sign language. I currently reside in Austin, TX with my boyfriend and our rescue cat, Ponyo and a rescue dog, Rumo.

I’ve been blogging since October 2009. Before that, I had a LiveJournal that I can barely look at now.. I mean.. EMO much? What else? Ask me anything.
