Cupcakes and Minecraft

This is my obligatory welcome post on The Geeky Cupcake. Hi, world!

I'm a college student planning on pursuing a career as a high school Latin teacher. I'm involved in my school's Creative Arts Club, and once I transfer to another school in the fall, I plan on diving into their Photography Club. There are definitely going to be posts about college things, club things, and making poor decisions on what I want to do with my life.

When I'm not in school, I'm either doing crafts or playing games. I have a craft business called Dragonistic, which I started at 14 when I set up a website to draw dragons for people. Somehow it developed into scarves, pumpkin hats, and jewelry made out of bones. Dragons are still involved in that there is one on the banner I display at craft fairs. I play an unreasonable amount of Age of Mythology, and I just downloaded Minecraft in an effort to waste the maximum amount of time per day.

As the blog title implies, I like cupcakes (and sheet cakes, and cookies, and bread, and doughnuts). I love to cook and bake, and if I didn't have other obligations, I would be in the kitchen constantly. There will absolutely be recipes involved in this blog.

I'm also very low on the income scale and suffer from undiagnosed chronic illness(es) that limit my ability to function as a normal human being. I limit my hours at work to avoid making my joints feel like they're on fire, and sometimes my stomach decides that perfectly tasty, sometimes healthy foods are alien substances that must be destroyed, usually resulting in me feeling like I'm being stabbed all over my abdominal area. There may be posts about these sorts of things as well, and there will certainly be posts about how to conserve your money and limited resources when ramen is what's for dinner every night.

That should cover it, I think. Sit tight for actual blog content!
