Bio
I'm Eleanor.
I'm tempted to say, "Oh, I'm just your average 22 year old," but that is not the case at all. That's not to say I'm extraordinary by any means, but my life circumstances and the way I choose to live are far from ordinary. I have two children, Oliver (4) and Amelia (2). I'm no longer with either of their fathers, and I like it that way.
I'm a recovering World of Warcraft addict. Replaced that with knitting, which I am now equally addicted to. I also play accordion! I've been playing for a little over 3 years and I love it. I'm a published poet/essayist though I am not writing with the same fervor as I used to.
I work the usual grind at a Real Estate marketing software company. It's interesting work and I'm quite happy with it.
I'm obsessed with music. It's my lifeblood. As I've written poetry less I've become worse and worse at expressing myself, so I let music do it for me. It's my release. I can play a variety of instruments in addition to accordion, but all attempts at writing my own music generally fail. It's still fun. :)
I'm quite introverted, but people are still drawn to me. I love it and hate it. I'm pretty fickle in a lot of areas of my life. I prefer it that way.
There's waaaaaaaaay more to me, but honestly, why spoil it?
