Bio

princesseNotAnotherPrincess is not just the name of my website; it is who I am.

I relate to Princess Fiona in the infamous Shrek movies; her character having turned into an Ogre in a world of picture-perfect Princesses. At first, she was appalled by her Ogre transformation and longed to be changed back into her human form. But in the end, she realized she was most happy as an Ogre and chose to stay that way. She settled down with the Ogre that captured her heart and lived happily ever after. Well, most of the time.

Fiona’s story is not unlike my own.

NotAnotherPrincess means breaking free and being proud of who I am no matter what others may think. I am different than some think I should be, but I am a good person who has found happiness in my own way. I have worked hard to get here, and I couldn’t be more proud of who I am today.

I am Not Another Princess. I am me.

  • I am a knitter, a bookworm, and fascinated by the paranormal.
  • I am NOT a social butterfly, a morning person, conservative, or religious.

I am a vegetarian.
I also don’t eat most dairy products, as it fucks with my Crohn’s Disease and makes me really sick. So don’t be surprised or offended when I turn down delicious foods like ice cream and bacon. It’s the age old adage — it’s not YOU, it’s ME.

Since changing my diet, my body has never felt better.

WHO THE HECK IS SAM?

I must have done something right along the way because I am one lucky lady. I have the most wonderful boyfriend I could ever have asked for. His name is Sam and he is my best friend. We’ve been together since May of 2005, and I love him with every ounce of my being — and if you’ve ever seen the two of us together, you definitely know how madly in love we are.

DBF (dear boyfriend)
and The Boy♥

A FEW MORE THINGS:

  • One of my best friends, Heather Rini, passed away in a motorcycle accident on August 29, 2009. I’m still struggling to accept the sudden loss. I still write letters to her sometimes.

  • I have fantasies about writing a best-selling novel.
  • I am an atheist. I don’t believe in any kind of higher power or higher being. I believe life on our planet is a product of chance and chance alone. I also strongly believe the false sense of hope, purpose, and companionship people feel from believing in such childish and fictional concepts is absolutely detrimental to the progression and evolution of mankind as a species.

“All religion is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.” - Edgar Allen Poe.

  • I’m 90% comfortable with myself on the outside. I’m 100% comfortable with myself on the inside.

I typically don’t play well with drama queens, the religious, the closed-minded, the conservative, the racist, the dishonest, the obnoxious, the phony, the republican, the alcoholic, and the homophobic. If that sentence sounds like you, chances are pretty good that you won’t like me much, and that’s okay because I am not for everyone.
