Welcome fellow Wanderer!
I am Kipluck.
About (of the Flu?):
A/S/L: Older than You;) /Female/Utah
I live in a fantastic little house
that The Roomie (not shown here) and
I call "The Ark." Why? Well, between us we currently have 3 sugar gliders, 2 small dogs, 2 parrots, 1 red eared slider turtle, 2 tree frogs, 1 canary, 1 finch, 2 
parakeets, 1 Russian
tortoise, 1 Long Tailed Grass Lizard, 1 Leopard
Gecko, 30+ Hissing Cockroaches,several various fishies, and a number of amiable
houseplants. (and those
are just the PERMANENT
ones...
we have
fosters
all the
time,
incl-
recent-
ly a
named Ratchet who just got a home!
and before THAT my sweet Josie, the
ADORABLE baby Pygmy Goat). I get to
teach classes and field trips to crazy
children, play with baby animals, and color
to pay my rent. Awesome, huh?
But I MAY switch to part time
some day because I might
*drumroll please* GO BACK TO
SCHOOL to be an ASL
interpreter AS WELL. (For those of you so deeply entrenched in the net that that makes no sense
to you, I do NOT mean AgeSexLocation... I mean,
I am a passionate person. I do not mean that in a sexual way, I mean that when I love something or someone I love them deeply and completely. Some of
my insatiable passions are literature, my sugar gliders, religious studies, water aerobics,
and art. THUS, there are likely to be sites for
these here. :D
My favorite books are Children's Lit. In
general, I have an inherent disdain for
SERIES books. However, I love Harry
Potter... though I am obsessed with A
Series of Unfortunate Events as well. My
bookmarks are currently in Leven Thumps and
the Whispered Secret by Obert Skye, The
Bible (KJV), The Book of Mormon; Another
Testament of Jesus Christ, and The Host by
Stephenie Meyers.
My sugar gliders are my babies, much to my mother's chagrin (she reminds me OFTEN "I need Grandchildren! It's like Heroine for mothers!" My mom is hilarious.). They are the *always* good thing in my life when everything seems falling apart. (I have chemical depression, by the way) They need me to care for them... and that keeps me anchored. They save my life often.
I am religious... as for my own beliefs, you may have guessed I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka: Mormon! *cue scary music!*). I believe it... I live it. However, I admit that right now I have not been as devout as I want to be. Working on that. :) But besides my own faith, I am fascinated by the beliefs of others (as long as they aren't YELLING them at me!). I am not here to "convert" anyone... but do not expect me to cast aside the gospel I know to be true, either.
I am not a skinny girly girl. I was a tomboy all my life. I would prefer a football game to a prom every time. I am also rather "girthy," which I am MOSTLY Okay with. I never expect to thin... however, I do want to be HEALTHIER than I am now. To this end, and because it is FUN, I do water aerobics faithfully 5 days a week. I also USED to sometimes stick to the Weight Watchers CORE plan... nbut now have Gastroparesis which basoically means I can't EAT anything anyway. I am also Diabetic (related to the weight thing) and have many other health problems that are NOT related to the weight thing. I battle them all with lots of meds and annoyance.
Other than that, I adore art. I have my fingers in the pies of just about every medium, though lately I merely doodle and take photos of my sugar gliders
(dang grown-upness! Cuts into my colorin'!)
I am a teacher at work... I am also a substitute teacher in regular schools in the off-season. The kids here on this site here and elsewhere may well be students of mine. I get very VERY protective. I will (and have the means to) report any inappropriate behavior toward minors by adults or adults pretending to be kids. You have been warned. You are not untraceable. You are being watched. PEDOPHILES BEWARE. Mess with any of MY little friends and you are likely to end up on a list of people who will be meeting my aunt... who happens to be on the Internet Crimes task force for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Whoa. Sorry to take such a serious turn... but it is a serious issue.
But back to the silliness, the following things can make me laugh anytime: The Office, The Tick, MASH, Scrubs, rubber duckies, pronouncing "boobs" in stupid ways, Nacho Libre, Lilo and Stitch, talking like a dolphin, Homestar Runner (I <3 STRONG BAD!!!!), Ask a Ninja, Gilmore Girls, the Nutrigrain Ad on YouTube, druggies, WalMart at 2 am, etc. Now have a good night. I should feed the babies and try to sleep.
p.s. ANYWAY, like I said, I recently began to fill cyberspace with my writing and you, too, can enjoy them if you like.
