ABOUT ME: My name is Alice. I was born and raised in a haunted house in Anaheim. I spent much of my early childhood at my parent's liquor store where I played arcade games like Centipede and Donkey Kong. When I was about six I had to wear an eye patch for my lazy eye problem, which never went away. I got glasses when I was ten and braces shortly after. Since I was a kid I longed to be an artist and when I got into high school I fell in love with computers, but I didn't know how to combine the two. I was always an outcast in high school with no sense of style, a weight problem, glasses and braces on my ogre teeth. My shyness caused me to spend a lot of time alone in my room playing Nintendo games, creating artistic pieces and in online chatrooms, where I got the screen name KrayzieFemale. After highschool I attended college to achieve my certificates in Computer Animation and Multi-Media, Computer Graphics and 3D Animation, Desktop Publishing, and Digital Photography. I also got my first real job working as a bill collector. During that time I fell madly in love with a guy in one of my art classes, who made me feel beautiful. After two years of working at a shitty job, I went to work full-time at a porn site as a web graphic designer where I learned a lot about designing websites. I had little time for school, so I dedicated the time I had to my boyfriend. We did pretty much everything together and even went on trips to Las Vegas and San Fransisco. We finished each other's sentences, took road trips to random places, had hundreds of inside jokes and went to several concerts together. We planned on getting married and spending the rest of our lives together. He was the love of my life and always reminded me that I was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him. Three years later I got carpal tunnel and had to leave my job. So, I started to go back to school to finish my education. I also got my veneers, which fixed my small crooked teeth. Things seemed to be looking better, then my life took a turn for the worst... I found out my boyfriend of five years had been cheating on me with many girls, had a kid with one and was engaged to and living with another. I found this out all in one day by one of his girlfriends, who he had been seeing for three years. I trusted him and loved him so much, yet he ripped out my heart and ruined my life. I truly felt like my life was over. With no job and a broken heart I dropped out of school and went into mourning for several months. I ate very little, slept a lot and spent most of my time in my dark bedroom lying on my bed. During that time I met another guy who promised me he'd never let me go through the pain I had just gone through. He helped me through my long breakdown and I got a full-time job as a graphic designer at a print shop, which I just love, and I went back to school to finish my Associate's in Arts Degree in Graphic Design. It wasn't long before I found out that this new guy had been living with another girl for the past seven months, so I gave up on men. I graduated college with an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design. I then moved out of the house for the first time and into an apartment by myself, where I started to discover who I truly was while still attending school. A couple years later I finished school with two more certificates in web design and bought my very first condo. I'm now happily living on my own, still working as a graphic designer at a print shop and having my own web design side business. I love my independence and my life. It seems as though everything is now falling into place now.
