I'm Chelsea. I'm a 20-something, green-eyed girl with different coloured hair hailing from Battle Creek, MI. I currently reside in Lima, Ohio. I'm a store manager at Hot Topic. I'm a photographer that is trying to do big things from a little town. In Media Res means in the middle of things. That's where my life is right now. I'm in the middle with no ending and no beginning. I'm addicted to music, photography, driving, my cats, foxes, and from time to time I have purple hair. As stated first, music plays a HUGE part in my life, so: Bands I've seen in concert: ->Saving Abel ->Papa Roach ->Avenged Sevenfold (x2) ->Buckcherry ->New Medicine ->Stone Sour ->Hollywood Undead ->Disturbed ->In This Moment ->Stillwell ->Sevendust ->Korn ->Bobaflex (x3) ->Pop Evil (x2) ->Frequency 54 (x3) ->Sore Eyes (x2) ->One Eyed Doll (x2) ->Destrophy ->Blackguard ->Sister Sin ->OTEP (x2) ->Evans Blue ->Echovalve ->Joan Red (RIP Anthony Basurto) ->HateBreed ->Rev Theory ->All That Remains ->Five Finger Death Punch ->Rob Zombie ->Marilyn Manson ->The Ataris (x2) ->Dan Vapid and the Cheats ->Yellowcard ->Bullet For My Valentine ->Stars In Stereo ->Black Veil Brides ->Throw The Fight ->Panic!

Southern Gothic: Abandoned Churches, cryptic gospel signs, don’t go near the marshes, elusive and overly religious people that are probably Up To Something but everyone is too afraid to ask what
Midwestern Gothic: Something Lives In The Corn, broken down trucks, gravel roads that lead nowhere, empty gas stations placed between tiny towns with only one attendant who makes too much eye contact but never speaks
Southwestern Gothic: Animal skulls hung from posts, shacks miles into the barren desert that still look lived in but nobody is ever seen around, They Watch From The Mountains, shapeshifting creatures hiding in the brush
PNW Gothic: thick unrelenting fog, distant howls, a nearby branch cracking followed by abrupt cessation of all animal noise, ravens that beseech you with hauntingly intelligent gazes, dense forest that looks the same in every direction, impossibly large toadstools
Northeastern Gothic: the sea and the sky are both gray and go on forever, the hills are old and remember when they were mountains, autumn leaves rustling, tendrils of cold air, rattling windowpanes and cold rain, the color of the sky just before it gets dark
People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.
The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.
It’s 2:30 AM and I’m in the men’s bathroom and someone was in another stall and I starting blaring the Thomas The Tank Engine theme and I literally heard them stop peeing out of fear
