Welcome to the Ruby-Verse

I have been known to have trouble keeping my mouth shut. I will talk to almost anyone, including random people in grocery stores. I love to read, especially science / nonfiction / natural history. I have a strange fascination with bizarre medical information. I am a wealth of useless information. I love to watch mixed martial arts, but none of my friends do. I spend a lot of time out in the woods taking pictures of mushrooms and leaves and dirt, and then I make long, rambling posts about them. My journal used to be rather fandom-focused but that has almost disappeared and most of my friends now are not interested in such things, and new friends are more than welcome to ignore them. I am working on a Master's degree in Public Health, a part-time job as a cashier, and I am happily and non-dramatically married with an obnoxious teenage daughter. I am 37, if you care. I like coloring books and I like Sims 4 (and all the Sims before it). I occasionally post a bunch of pictures of attractive men, just because. They are usually fully clothed but that's because I don't have any pictures of them naked. I do yoga and I walk and/or jog but I am far from being a health nut and after I do yoga I sit at my computer and eat peanut butter M&M's, so you won't get any lectures from me about your eating or exercise habits. LJ is where most of my best friends are, where I tell people everything, and where I come when I want to talk.
