Self Portrait

Well I am currently living in Chicago , I work in retail (which I hate) and plan to go back to school in the next year or so. I also plan to emigrate to England, I just found out that I can become a UK citizen through my mother being a UK citizen woo hoo! I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, either an artist, a farmer, a gardener, a craftsperson, web designer, priestess, an author? Maybe all of the above? I think my ideal life would be to live in rural South England, raise organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs, paint and make jewlery during the week, then go clubbing in London over the weekends. Someday it may happen. Anyway back in the present, I am looking to get my web design certificate, and I am trying to finish my ADF dedicant program so I can start the Artisians Guild program and most likely the Magicians Guild as well. Then I might take on the Naturalists Guild as well. That and dragging myself to my suckass job. I would like to take up ghost hunting too at somepoint.
