name: ashley, also known as ash, ash-kat, or alleykat. feel free to play around with it. will accept all nicknames. even something like "a to the k" or "the phoenix."

age: twenty-six years young. err, i mean, old as dirt.

location: southwest virginia in a teeny town with the population of approximately 3,000 people (though i cannot see how we cram that many people into this itty-bitty place).

relationship: currently involved with a manly man named johnathan, who is both the bane of my existance and the complete love of my life. he both understands and tolerates me which i am sure is no mean feat. he's a total nerdddd and cinemophile. our 'things in common' list grows every day. he lives 1.5 hours from me, we met on a dating site, and we’ve been together now for 12 months! c: our anniversary is april 30, 2011.

career: i'm a physical therapist assistant. i specialize in pediatrics and have been practicing for 4 years. right now i work for the county school system, which consists of ~12 schools, and i visit each one and do therapy with disabled and developmentally delayed children. i never want to do anything else. i love it.

pet: i have 1 lovely doggie named emma. she is a golden retriever mix. she is currently 2.5 years old, approximately 50 pounds, and is my constant, loyal, lovable companion. ♥

random: accents make me drool. i am generally very interested in medicine and anatomy. any baby thing will cause me to break down and squee. it is very hard to gross me out, but mayonnaise does a great job. i have some social anxieties. i grew up on a farm and still love horses and livestock and the smell of leather. i used to be into anime but i grew out of it. i get 'stuck' on foods and eat the same things for a few months at a time before moving on to a new thing. chocolate milk will always appease me. i am very boyish - think jeans and t-shirts, bugs, and burping outloud - but i love scented candles, shoes, and purses.
