"I became insane from long intervals of horrible sanity." - Edgar Allan Poe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome,
I chose "purplehorse08" from my long-ago Howrse account that I had back in the day. Since then, I have found myself at college, during a pandemic, and though I am extremely busy- I needed something to take my mind off of "life." Thus, I have found myself playing an old childhood game, that really hasn't significantly changed.
Growing up I adored horses. I have ridden Western Pleasure, but now run barrels. I placed Top 5 Youth of WV back in the day believe it or not.
Now, college takes all of my time. I still get out to the old farm where I would ride, but classes consume me. I am majoring in Forensic and Investigative Science, so if y'all ever need homework help, advice, questions about crime scene investigation- I am your gal!
Additionally, I could rant about Forensics basically forever. The subject is ever-changing and will always be interesting. My core classes are wild, and one I am currently taking is Gravesite Forensics. This has led to me collecting an unhealthy amount of necrophilic bugs... and I am not going to lie- it stresses me out a bit. Yet another necessary evil. This is one of the many classes that cause me to run around, and ultimately survive... while also attempting to keep a decent GPA.
I have been certified (not accredited if any Quality Assurance professionals are out there- if you know, you know) in Drugs, Quality Assurance, Arson, Toxicology, and Crime Scene Investigation.
I also play roller derby for my college, so if there are any skating fanatics out there, I would love to talk!
Thank you for taking the time to read this... even if it does slightly look like the format of an email I would send to one of my professors.
Yours truly,
Aspiring CSI

More Information About My Life (I'm obviously only assuming you have read this far... so now I ask why you are still reading...)
Additionally, I will not be listing all of my favorite ways to pass the time of my short life, as it so happens I will one day die, and I pray I have accomplished more than what I've done so far.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOVIES (Obviously not all of them... I'd have to be nuts to do that)
-Breakfast Club (If you get nothing else from my presentation watch this & one below)
-Fight Club (I once had a job changing oil, and a customer came in that sold soap... nonetheless I got excited, described how Tyler makes soap, and my boss was not thrilled to say the least)

-End of Watch (Jake Gyllenhaal deserves the world)
-Tremors (Who doesn't want to see Kevin Bacon in way too tight of pants)
-Bad Boys (If Will Smith was younger and not married... I would think my chances of getting a date would increase to just above slim)
-Characterz (It's got Mitchel Musso [The man whose got the jerky... not the cheese] in it, and it kinda makes you sad. He screams at one point, and that makes it all a bit happier)
-Open House (Did I mention I also met Dylan Minnette... listen to the Wallows)
-Literally any movie with Jeremy Renner in it (Don't call yourself a true fan unless you've seen "Fish in a Barrel" which I can only find for like 20 bucks on VHS- no joke, the DVD is over 70 dollars, and sadly the movie kinda sucks)
