the about post
I’m Roxanne, a college senior at Northern Arizona University. Since 1993, I’ve lived in Scottsdale, Arizona. I was born in Pasadena, California.
I’m sarcastic, insightful, and resourceful. I’m a people-pleaser, joker, hen-pecker, deadpan snarker, and I possess a child-like sense of curiosity. I’m a criminology and criminal justice major. To say I excel at what I study would be an understatement. Unfortunately, it’s the only thing I excel at. I’m also critical, impatient, and a do-gooder. I’m socially withdrawn, though. I rather enjoy my solitude. I’m terrible at playing into proper gender roles too, as sentimentality is not my strength and neither is subtly. I’m also a few skirts shy of abrasive.
Honestly, I just want to help people. It’s cliche. I know. Oh. I forgot to mention I’m a double minor in social work and family studies. I’m currently an intern for a victim services agency. I work with the victims of domestic violence, as well as juveniles. I love what I do. I’m also a teaching assistant and sexual assault prevention educator. I have great faith in education and find learning to be my greatest passion.
I’m certainly pleasant enough at first, but you’ll find I’m a bit easily irritated. As such, let’s avoid this with a list of things that bother me. Well first of all, I dislike sexuality shaming. This means shaming someone for their sexuality (heterosexual/homosexual/others) as well as how they choose to express their sexuality (attitudes and attire). I consider myself a pacifist, so anyone who resorts to violence without good reason is bound to bug me. Little things that annoy me include those who feel the need to talk about politics or religion all day, who play defensive omnivore bingo with me, or who generally do not act their age.
I want to travel. I’d love to visit England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, and pretty much anywhere else I can think of. I don’t think I’d enjoy permanently living abroad, though. I also have a particular fondness for nature. Flowers especially seem to count, as well as wooded areas. In particular, I adore lilacs and azaleas. My three favorite colors are cerulean, seafoam, and lilac.I have a yearning towards bodies of water. Well, except for the beach. I’m not really a fan of sand. Marine life intrigues me, especially jellyfish and other creatures. I have five fish, including my prized Azalea (a blue betta).
My favorite foods are grapes, green peas, and carbs. Foods I refuse to eat include olives, mushrooms, and any form of meat. As of January, I’m a vegan. I aspire to become healthier and happier throughout the year, That is if I can avoid my past eating disorder. Well, that’s pretty much it for now!
