Amber's Abode

Amber

I'm 30 and live in Portland, Oregon. I have cerebral palsy, and use a power wheelchair.

I love anything to do with music, especially karaoke recently, computers, Anime, kids, people, writing, reading, watching movies, enjoying outdoors when it's not raining, pretty much life in general.

I play Scrabble fairly well, and I'm currently working on improving my almost nonexistent chess game. I'm hoping to get further into digital photography soon as another outlet.

My newest hobby is playing Texas hold em for free, online or in person, and I'm getting pretty good at it.

Starving Writer

Like all starving writers, if you can afford to donate it, I would appreciate it.

 

Falling leaves and social experiments

I feel like writing, so I'm going to, but I'm not sure what I feel like writing.

I suppose I should try to explain why there is now a donation button on the side of this page, but there really is not much to explain. It's there because it is. I'm not begging, and never will, but I feel no shame in putting it there. Pretty much, if it bothers you, don't use it. But if you would like to donate to an "cause" where you will actually see your money being used to improve something, namely my life, you have my gratitude.

But just to clear the air, contrary to my witty little quip, I will not actually starve if no one ever uses the button. Also, please be careful if doing so would jeopardize your marriage/primary relationship. That last sentence will make no sense to almost everyone, but that's okay. And if you would like to hold me accountable for how I actually spend any donations that's okay. Any in the near future will go towards shampoo and conditioner, and maybe a pair of headphones that won't break within a week. $30 a month tends to run out before the end of the month, which I find is when shampoo usually does run out.

Thank you for participating in my noble little social experiment. :-).

Fall is the time for change, customarily. I hope some changes are coming toward me for the better, but we shall see.

I'm going to post this and play with the new tagging function. So far my favorite is "sociopathic rants," which unfortunately this does not fit under.

Oh yeah, they had a meeting today to discuss my future, which apparently looks pretty bleak. Foster home pickings are slim, so they're going to try to get me a private room in this building. I wish them all kinds of luck. I've been trying for a year and a half.

Sigh.
