Sooo, it feels a bit silly to be finally writing my intro post when i’ve been on hive for since February, but I just hit minnow so it's time to stop procrastinating. Even though glancing through my feed would get you a lot of information about me. But here we go.
I’m a huge nerd, which is why I enjoy Splinterlands so much. I also read, write and draw fantasy and sci-fi stuff. I love a good story, compelling characters and witty one liners, and anything that leaves me thinking. My favorite author is probably Sir Terry Pratchett most known for his discworld novels, as well as being an all around awesome person. His books while on the surface are goofy romps also have a lot of depth to them. He is one of the few authors whose made me laugh and cry in the span of about 15 minutes of reading. the other author that has that ability is Zachiery Pike, author of The dark profit saga which is another fantastic series.

I also enjoy drawing and art. Splitnerlands has inspired some.
I also just enjoy drawing stuff. Usually it’s either fantasy, nature, or cats.
Dungeons and dragons has also inspired much art work of mine though I’ve not posted a lot of it anywhere outside of my Dungeons and dragons groups. Here's two of my characters, one's an elven druid the others a human warlock whose patron is a unicorn.
My day job is in autism services, meaning that I work with kids and teens with autism. During the summer that means being at a daycamp with them and giving them whatever support they need to have a good time. Since Autism is a spectrum, what this looks like varies a lot. for some kids it means offering help in the bathroom or opening things in their lunch, for other kids it means adapting crafts and games so they can have fun with them, and other kids it just means being a listening ear becuase simply having the undivided attention of an adult is rare and amazing for them. In rare cases it can also mean intervening during self-injurious behaviour that some kiddos do when they're overstimulated, or when they become aggressive, or when they do something that isn't safe like running into the street. Overall it's an amazing job, and I love these kids but it can be draining both physically and emotionally.
How’d I end up here?
So to make a long story short while I was bored one day some years ago I stumbled across a website called womplay. On this site playing games could earn you crypto and nfts on the WAXP chain. Which lead to me joining the discord that was connected to the sight, which lead me to meeting some cool folks including the awesome 
i messed around on waxp quite a bit, going as far as making some nfts, but the low value of WAXP, life getting busy, and some personal stuff led to me getting burnt out and pretty much ignoring it for almost a year. Then my friend yup, you guessed it,
