Hullo. My name is Brittani. My tribal name is Gentle Storm. Yes I am Native American (with just enough Irish/Scottish ancestry to have blue eyes and stay pale no matter how much sun I get... go figure. So I get odd looks at every Powwow, even though I'm there with my clan.). Gentle Storm (my OC) is my pony self, if you hadn't already figured that out. She's pretty accurate, except her hair is longer than mine, and I'm obviously not yellow (though I do have a strange yellow undertone to my skin...curious...) I am socially awkward like her, a bit passive-aggressive, and somewhat withdrawn around new people in real life.
I am 21, have been married for three years, and have a 1 year old daughter, Alouette. I do have two dogs, like Gentle Storm does, and they are named Jim Dear and Darling (10 pts to Griffindor if you know what movie those names are from). Gentle's are named Dear and Darling. I also have two cats. Fred, my 20lb black panther cat, and We-sa, my wild, psychotic bobtail. I live on a farm with cows, chickens, and a goose also, but most of those are food, not pets (except Peep Peep. I love mah goose)
My favorite colors are sea green and silver. My favorite book series is the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. My favorite food varies constantly, so you'll never get a straight answer from me on this. My favorite things are reading, writing, drawing, sculpting OOAK fairies/mermaids, and singing (Ever heard of Michelle Sommers, the country singer? That was me a few years ago, using a stage name, before I decided on a family life instead) As you can probably tell, I'm conceited, and love talking about myself... okay, just kidding. I just figured you'd like to get to know me a bit better.
Fair warning and disclaimer. In no way is my intelligence incumbered in any way by this, but I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is a high-functioning autism (I get the smarts (pretty much because of an intense focus on whatever I'm doing), and some of the social blundering, but not the complete tuning out that a lot of full out Autistic people do) Because of this, things I say don't always come across the way I mean them to. I sometimes don't get the social cues that tell me when someone is irritated, or just kidding. I also sometimes forget to put out the social cues to tell other people that I'm just joking, being sarcastic, or being silly. Typing everything on the computer often causes even more confusion. If I accidentally offend you please pm me about it instead of remaining angry at me forever. I usually have no idea what I've done, and will apologize promptly and attempt to make amends.
Also, I'm from Texas. If I call you hon, hun, babe, sweetie, sweetheart, darling, or honey, it is not a put down, a come on, or an attempt to demean you. It is a term of endearment. It means I'm being nice. Someone once ranted at me for five long paragraphs because I called her sweetheart... Grr...
Anyway, there's a good chunk about me. I can't wait to get to know all of you!
