Something about me...
Hi, I’m Merry aka Marina. I’m a relative newcomer to the staff set and generally shy to boot. I came to this site via a friend in 2010 and have been hanging around ever since. I play the characters Meredith Grace Lovelace, Marina Anne Sinclaire, Cassandra Halliwell Cooper, Esme Kegan Archer, and Demetria Jamese Lebeau I’m usually here most days even when I'm sick. Granted, I'm not an early morning person but I'm here nonetheless. Lately, I've been ill and so my time here has been spotty but I've been checking in and trying to say hi to folks even with real life knocking on my door.
I have cerebral palsy, a heart murmur, asthma, and cataracts and while I've tried to not let it slow me down, sometimes it insists on telling me to take a break. I just recently got my Masters Degree in Information Resources and Library Science and I have a BA in History as well as a BA in Gender Women's Studies and an AA in General Skills with an emphasis on Computer Software. Currently, I'm looking for work and volunteering at my local library.
I remember when Charmed first came out and my favorite character is Piper because she is so maternal and nurturing. I love helping people and she appealed to me.
I honestly was terrified when my friend convinced me to join Blessed. While I am in a field that requires me to be social and I like people I was very shy in coming here. Everyone was so amazing here that I grew as a writer. I just turned 41 and I'm still learning how to write well. I think its a constant work in progress and like to help others.
I'm not quite sure why I was asked to be a staffie in all honesty. Everyone has been here so much longer than I have that at times its overwhelming. I'm still getting my feet under me but I'm honored to work with such wonderful people.
My biggest flaw would be that I HATE hurting or upsetting people. Even if its a minor thing I've been known to tear up about it. I've always worried about hurting others and I truly hate when I do it. I suppose its because, due to my disability, my life span isn't going to be that long. I try to remain upbeat about it, but I always seek to make amends because tomorrow I might not be here just due to my disability. That's why I sometimes take breaks from the site even though I don't want to.
I worry that people here will never know how awesome I think they all are. Pru, Charlie, and Adam have been there for me when I needed someone and I am so grateful to be here with them. I know I'm a pest and a pain and I make mistakes but I try to be worthy of the staffie position they have given me. ♥ ♥ ♥
Me & Blessed...
I'm one of the moderators on Blessed. On the rp side of things I look after the areas of Nightlife and Restaurants which encompasses the following areas:
I also help moderate some OOC areas of the board with Pru, Penny and the rest of the Staffies.
I'm usually in the cbox when I'm on site and I try to keep an eye out for new faces.
