About Me
RosaHi, I'm Rosa! My full name is Rosalind Hughes, I'm female, 31 years old, and I live with my parents in the 'red rose county' of Lancashire in England, UK.
OK, boring stuff out of the way first. I am registered disabled due to several illnesses, including chronic severe pain, asthma, type two diabetes, hypothyroidism, (underactive thyroid gland) osteoporosis, Raynauds syndrome, non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD), borderline personality disorder, depression, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) & poor mobility. (I walk - badly - with a stick.) The problem with having so many illnesses, is that if you have a good day with one, you'll probably be having a bad day with something else!
I have only fairly recently come to a firm and final conclusion that I am attracted to other women, and now I am quite happy and proud to say that I am a lesbian. I have left it until now to 'come out' because I wanted to be absolutely sure, and now, after many years of confusion and eventual acceptance, I feel comfortable in my own skin.
I have two pets: my gorgeous Cavalier King Charles Spaniel boy Stanley and my grumpy corn-snake, Gerty! Stanley is simply adorable, and Gerty is a very crotchety reptile! I used to keep fancy rats (since 1994), but the upkeep of cleaning cages was getting too much for my mother, and I couldn't do it because of my problems, either, so after our last rat, William, was put to sleep on the 30th June 2010, we decided not to get any more. It feels like the end of an era.
Since mid-2006, I have lived my life following the path of the Solitary Eclectic Wiccan, and I very much enjoy it. I love all the stereotypical 'witchy' things - divining with angel cards, a pendulum, 'witches runes', and scrying with a crystal ball - but sadly, I am unable to turn people into frogs - never mind, eh?!
Last but not least, I am vegan, which means I don't consume, use, wear, or have anything to do with animals, so no meat, fish, eggs, dairy, honey, etc or leather, wool, silk, bone - if it involves the use of living creatures I avoid it! Being vegan is naturally healthy, so I should keep losing weight - fingers crossed!
