Hi! I’m Karen. I’m in my late 40s. Bi, liberal, fat, nerdy, tattooed, and married.
I work in IT and am working on my cybersecurity degree.
My fave things:
- photography, both analog and digital, collecting cameras
- music, mostly Kpop, electronic, synthpop, 80s and 90s alternative

I begged and pleaded my mom to let me stay home to watch it because my school didn't want to show it.
I watched it happen live at home. My mom turned off the TV and told me to go to my room and I didn't even question her, I just went to my room. I don't remember anything else that day.

So much going on, it’s almost escaped notice today is the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

Most of us watched it in real time in the classroom

I made pasta with chicken, mushrooms, and zucchini with a garlic parmesan sauce the other day, and ate the leftovers for dinner tonight. This is a Big Deal for me because I don't usually like leftovers, but this dish was so good that I looked forward to finishing it off.

Sometimes, on a cold winter’s day, grilled cheese with tomato soup is everything the soul needs.

I'm utterly exhausted, and I literally don't have time to stop and get the deep relaxation and rest I really need. Which means my body is probably going to get a cold or something along those lines and force me to rest and not use my brain or body for a day or two.

#Kpop fan problems:
- took every ounce of my self control not to yell “LEMME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME NEW THANGS” when talking to others in a meeting about a new software we’re getting
