Joy and her first post.

Hello everyone and welcome to my brand new blog :).

I've been in a weird place in my life lately. I'm stuck in a career that is going nowhere. I'm stuck in a city that I'm starting to fall out of love with. I want to move on to a more lucrative career and move back home to be closer to my family, but I'm kinda stuck... Not in a bad way. Just in a waiting period. In limbo if you will.

So to counteract this yuck feeling, I decided to immerse myself in some new and old hobbies. New - Copic coloring and cardmaking. Old - photography and drawing. I'm sure I'll add more to these lists soon ;)

I wanted to document my journey here in my new home on the web - ohaijoy.com.

I guess I should tell you some stuffs about myself. I'm 30 years old *gulp*. I've been living in Los Angeles for 10 years. I was born and raised in Hawaii. I still visit at least once a year. I haven't been home since July 2012 and I'm already itching to go back. *sigh*. But I moved because I just wanted to see something new. And I did. And now I'm ready to go home.

I work in post production. Very "LA" of me 'eh? Trust me, it's not as glamorous as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my job. It has it perks. I just feel very bored and restless.

Hmm what else... I have a cat! He's a weird cat. He's dark grey and his name is Mochi (you know, like the Japanese rice cakes). He hops around like rabbit and tries to clean his own litter box.

I have a big thing for Captain America... Maybe because my boyfriend is an army vet and I just have a thing for millitary guys. Or maybe it's just Chris Evans I have a thing for. I don't know. heehee.

I strongly dislike jalapenos.  

I really, really want to ride in a hot air balloon. Preferably a red one.

Well I think that's all you get for now. Until next time.
