Hi

Sk8r Girl

Hi I'm Sk8r Girl. Big fan of Avril Lavigne! I have autism and have been finding life more increasingly difficult as my parents are older and there's been more change than I can handle in recent years.

I'm interested in too many things to list but some of my faves is music, watching movies, swimming, soft toys, reading, Lego and animals to name a few. I love animals they are always so nice to be around. I like to think if I wasn't crippled with anxiety I might have become a vet Blush

  • Hi! 

    You might have seen me on the xmas thread, but you can call me Para. I'm currently training as a teacher abroad in Thailand, so I might not be active at the regular UK times but I keep up with the forum fairly regularly where I can. 

    Some overlapping interests we have include: Swimming, (Was really into it as a kid, and haven't had the opportunity to try it again yet) Animals though mainly Dogs, and listening to music. I'm also big into games of most kinds (Video Games, Board Games, etc.) and spend my time while walking listening to Podcasts about History. I'm thinking of getting stuff for a Kindle as well but i'm not sure what yet. 

    It's nice to meet you! If you need someone to chat to, i'm happy to listen.

    Hi nice to meet you Para.

    Yes I saw your reply, thanks so much for replying and sorry I haven’t replied to you there yet; I accidentally fractured my wrist and some fingers over the weekend when I was trying to put up some Xmas decs, lol. My hand is now bandaged and typing is a sloooowww process.

    Good luck with your training! I work in early years education part time, also in training. It’s tiring and hard work but so worth it.

    I love swimming, I feel at peace in the water, it’s a lovely free feeling for me. I swam all the time as a kid but I don’t get to do it as much either anymore, shame as I really enjoy it. I try to swim at least once a month if I can. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats, they are so friendly and good natured if you spend the time to earn their trust and get to know them well. I had a German Shepherd growing up, Dolly, she was the best friend I ever had.
    What music are you in to? I like playing games. I play on my Nintendos mostly, games like Pokemon, Mario, Lego. Also like Monopoly which my family and I always play during the Xmas period.

    I like Podcasts as well. There’s some really good ones, they can be a good distraction when out walking. I listen to them when I walk or when I’m on the train. I like the Kindle, if you try Kindle Unlimited free for a month to start that might be a good way to see if it’s something you will enjoy.

    If you ever want to chat I’m always around.
