Hi fellow teen cysters (or rather, young adult cysters. I'm not a teen anymore myself)! I'm really fond of school/education/studying/living at the library most of the time, so being back home for the summer is a bit odd to me. But besides reading, writing, and working hard academically (I'm aiming to be a novelist some time in the near future), I'm a geek with makeup application skills.

I'm very much into Japanese anime, Harry Potter, sci-fi/fantasy including but not limited to Firefly, Lord of the Rings, Supernatural, Heroes, etc. I'm also into cosplay/costuming at sci-fi/anime conventions. Otherwise I'm really into makeup application (my traincase is overflowing!). I like fashion as well, but not as much as makeup. I also like various kinds of music, from American rock and pop, to French music, to J-pop and J-rock (Japanese pop and rock).

Otherwise, I'm very much a fan of conditioning and personal training. I've had a personal trainer since I was fourteen and she's like a second mother to me by this point. I try to do an hour of cardio exercise every day and weight training three times a week. I think being active is very important!

Oh, and I love making new friends, especially fellow cysters. I don't have many friends who even try to bother what this PCOS is about, despite the fact I tend to get out my frustrations concerning it in Livejournal. And at the moment I don't have any friends offline who are diagnosed. It can be pretty difficult sometimes, which is why I'm thankful for fellow high school/college aged cysters here!

I'm really glad I found this site, I have been struggling with PCOS for almost 5 years. I've always been battling my weight, which is hard, living with two gorgeous, stick-thin sisters. I've never even met another person with PCOS, so I never had anyone to talk to about it, who understands what I'm going through. Just knowing that there are people here who understand what it's like and have been through the same things is great. I don't feel like I'm alone in this anymore, so Thank You!

Uh...I've had awful luck with doctors. One was always on vacation, one told me I looked like a man, one stopped treating me when I gained weight instead of losing it (same genius that gave me metformin when my insulin is fine), and the current one is SO FAR no horrible.

I've got a wonderful boyfriend that I love with all my heart, and I wish I wasn't sick for his sake. I think it really worries him sometimes.

And that's about it!
