If dizzy could eat one food what would it be?

Well he eats pens but actually food? I think he would be like really basic and just want a sandwich cause it would be ‘healthy’

Ya know like a looser.

What's DBH? I don't think I understand your blog title?? Care to elaborate, uwu

I’m happy to elaborate! DBH stands for Detroit: Become Human, which is a video game where the decisions you make impacts the narrative of the entire story. It’s pretty fantastic (if I do say so myself) and it’s probably the first fandom that I really ever geeked out (and actually wrote some fic for). I don’t know if you are into Let’s Plays, but if you want to get a taste of what it looks like, I’ll share you a couple links:

Hope that makes sense!

Oh look. I’m wearing make up. This is me, getting ready for a Christmas party. I feel like I don’t look too bad for 37 in this picture so even if it’s crap, I’m gonna post it.

Six Random Facts About Me

Thank you to @thetalentedmsripleysworld for the tag! So these facts aren’t going to be all sunshine and rainbows... and I hope it doesn’t come across as oversharing.  I will talk about issues that relate to mental health and alcoholism, so if that is a trigger for you, please proceed with caution. I usually talk about how I spent 10 years in Taiwan and how I used to be an English teacher, yada, yada, yada, but I have been stateside for four years now, so I’m going to focus on facts that are relevant to the person I am TODAY. I’ll start on a positive note first.

1. I have a black belt in Shotokan Karate. 

I train twice a week. I help run a small class that has five kids. One of them is someone I have trained since he was a white belt. In not too long, he’ll be testing for his brown belt. I plan on giving him my old brown belt when he passes, just to show him how proud I am of all his milestones.

2. I have Bipolar II disorder.

For all intents and purposes, I am emotionally stable and lead a pretty fulfilling life but I still get episodes that often include panic attacks, depression, and anxiety. My meds help. My loving friends and family help even more. I’m grateful for all of it.

3. I’ll be hitting a milestone of four years of sobriety next year. 

There’s a reason why I identify so strongly with Hank Anderson. Alcohol is one hell of a drug and it almost ruined my life. I am grateful for my sobriety and look forward to getting my goddamn four year chip when I celebrate my “birthday” this February. 

4. I’m a CODA.

CODA means a Child of Deaf Adults. My parents and my husband are all Deaf with a capital D. That big “D” means that they are an active part of the Deaf community and use ASL as their main form of communication. Technically, ASL is my first language since my parents exposed me to sign language before I ever learned English.

5. I caption broadcast news for a living.

In short, I am a professional parrot. I listen to a constant audio feed -- all in realtime -- of everything the reporters, news anchors, and meteorologists say, and I repeat whatever they say into a microphone and the words I speak show up as closed captions that are broadcasted, some locally, and others nationwide. 

6. I live with my grandmother.

She turned 90 years old this year. My husband and I live in the basement downstairs, and in exchange, I help my grandma around the house whenever she needs it and take her to her doctors appointments. She hates driving on the freeway lol.

OK, I’m gonna stop there and tag the first ten active people that pop up in my activity feed. Please do not feel pressured to join in, but if you do, I look forward to seeing what you write!

One of Dem Tag Games

Got nudged by @harvestyourcherries. Thank you for thinking of me. It gave me all sorts of warm fuzzies.

THE GAME:

Pass the happy! When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the most recent people in your notifications! 💕🦇

PS: This is gonna be really superficial. Sorry not sorry.

1. Blooper reels of Misha Collins and the rest of the Supernatural gang. If I’m having a rubbish day, watching them goof off lifts my spirits, even if it is only a little bit.

2. My husband combing his fingers through my hair as I fall asleep. It’s just soothing and if I had it my way, I’d make him do it all night.

3. Peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. I don’t drink alcohol, so THIS is my poison of choice. Don’t judge, m’kay?

4. My 10-year-old cat. She’s snooty but I love her.

5. Shitposts and memes.

"Can I Ask You a Personal Question?”

Got tagged by @honey-bri-books to complete this little tag game. Thanks for thinking of me. (and sorry for taking a while to get to it). 

Are you named after anyone?

Actually, I am. I’m named after Sarah, the one from the book of Genesis. My parents tried to have kids for 10 years. The doctor pretty much told them that they would never have another child. They sold off all the baby stuff they still had in storage, and then, bam, became pregnant with me. The only difference is I’m H-less. “Sara,” not “Sarah.”

When was the last time you cried?

Maybe a week ago? It was about work related stuff. It’s been a stressful couple of months and it just got to me.

Do you have kids?

Does a cat count?

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yes, but only if I’m feeling factitious, and only around people I truly trust. 

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Depends. If it’s in public, hair -- especially if it’s stylish or dyed a cool color. If I am in the dojo, where everyone is wearing the same uniform and I’m in teacher mode, the first thing I notice is their disposition -- especially if they are respectful and kind. 

What’s your eye color?

Brown.

Scary movie or happy ending?

Scary movies with a happy ending.

Any special talents?

Mmmm... I hate talking about if I have any talents or not. I’ve had people say I write well and that I am good with children. I’ll take their word for it.

Where were you born?

Hayward, California.

What are your hobbies?

Karate, video games, puttering around on Tumblr, writing poetry and fiction (albeit slowly), and reading fic (especially Cas x Dean because I’ve officially become Destiel trash).

Have any pets?

Please refer to question three.

What sports have you or do you play?

Is karate a sport? Kinda... sorta? I guess. When I was a kid, I used to play soccer and roller hockey.

How tall are you?

170 cm or 5′7″.

Favorite school subject?

High School: Art.

College: English and History.

Dream job?

A job that makes me happy -- and also makes me feel like I’m useful to others. Being a captioner (my current job) is a pretty cool; when I do well, I feel a strong sense of satisfaction, and it feels good to know that I’m providing a crucial service to the D(d)eaf and Hard of Hearing in the process.

I’ll go ahead and tag the first five people I see in my activity log. Please do not feel pressured to participate. But if you DO choose to do so, I look forward to seeing your answers.
