Hi there. I’m Jojo. I’m disabled, so I don’t really get many chances to interact with people. My energy levels make it hard to leave the house, and too many busy or demanding interactions can negatively affect my health.

I used to be able to do a lot more, but as I’ve gotten older, my health has declined. Being severely disabled can have a big impact on your sense of self.

I created this website because I want to show that I exist. That despite my limitations and my slowly shrinking future, I am a person with rich interests and a vibrant personality. A small cry into the void, if you will.

I’m sure this site will mostly be me talking to myself ~ and that’s okay.

What can I say about me really?

I was born in 1986.

Well, I grew up playing with the first Gen My Little Ponies and Polly Pockets.

I'm a massive Nerd. Always loved Fantasy and Video games, for as long as I can remember.

My first Game Console was a Gameboy. I still remember the day I got it. I must have been around 6 or 7. It was a rainy day and we went shopping. When we got back in the car Mum opened the backdoor and handed it to me. It came with Kirby's Dreamland.

I remember when I first saw Pokémon being advertised in magazines. I was so excited. It's all I would talk about. Mum went and queued up outside the shops at 6am to get me both Red and Blue on release day.

My Favourite Pokémon to this day is still the Beautiful and best Leafy Boi ~Bulbasaur🌿.

My older brother got me into Anime. There wasn't a huge selection in the 90s so a lot of the VHS we had were very violent and scared the shit out of me.

Thankfully as time went on more anime became available, I was able to enjoy stuff that was more my cup of tea. My brother used to import Fansubs for me on VHS as no official translations existed yet.

It's crazy how mainstream anime is these days. I used to get picked on for liking Japanese Cartoons, but you can buy Merchandise in Supermarkets now.

I was 8 when I played Dungeons and Dragons for the very first time. I was invited to play by my friend with his Dad as the Dungeon Master. We only played 3 sessions sadly but it began my love of the game.
I played a Wizard called Zelda.

When I was a kid, the only people I knew with a PC was the super rich family up the hill. It was years before I got one and even longer still till we got the Internet.

I just used it to play on Ms Paint, Solitaire and type up my own stories.

When we did get the Internet finally, I spent all my time on Gaia Online (called Go Gaia in those days) Neopets and a UK Anime Forum. I also was obsessed with MSN which was the best Messaging service.

I loved drawing and my first boyfriend gave me a drawing tablet for Digital Art. I then became hooked on Deviant Art. I still have a bunch of art of my Original Characters from my teen years.

So yeah, I'm a basic Millennial Nerd really.

I became sick when I was 12. It was during an Exam when I suddenly started feeling really unwell.

I've never been the same since. Perhaps I'll share more of my history in my Blog.

Long and Short of it, CFS/ME sucks. While it has stolen a lot of my life, I am so much more than my Illness.
