My name is not "summerblind" or "summer" - I just have an old CS profile and never changed my username to my actual name because it reminds me of a particular feeling I had when I made this account way back when in 2010! If you request me, please mention my "real" name :) so I know you read through my profile and references. It's hard to describe myself in a small box but I would say that I am an outgoing-ly shy person. I love art in all forms and am just trying to be a little less embarrassed to express myself every day. Always and forever learning. “I swear I will never again mention love or death inside a house, And I swear I will never translate myself at all, only to him or her who privately stays with me in the open air.” — "Song of Myself" Walt Whitman I'm kind of always working on a project. I like making art and giving it away, it's a therapeutic experience. Recently I've been getting into embroidery and fibers (sewing, knitting, etc). I've always been a writer - so lots of that too! I hold strong convictions. I love to laugh. I can be quite serious and also, not so much. Someone once said that even when I am serious, I am always keen to joke. I am in love with this world and try to see beauty where I can, maybe be able to translate what I see into words. Big fan of the forest, natural bodies of water, interesting smells. Mostly trying to be outside and in the sun. I don't log on here nearly enough but I do get emails - so definitely try me when looking for a host, cause if I can, I will try to make it work!
