Welcome to LavenderPub.com, which I will refer to as The Pub or The Lavender Pub moving forward. Welcome again to my first blog post. I plan to explain my overly ambitious goals for this project quickly and lay down some ground rules. This will be boring to read, but quick for those who care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi again. I know it’s silly to introduce myself 3 times in a blog post, but let me ramble a little; it’s gonna happen a lot, so get used to it. My name is Noelle, though this might be the first and last time I ever refer to myself by that name. I am currently 27 years old in the midst of chaos known as late April 2026. I went to school at Texas A&M University (trust me, not my first choice either, but a girl’s got to get educated) to earn my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, and I also earned a Minor in Mathematics, graduating in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy learning more than anything, and I am cripplingly addicted to the feeling of overcoming challenges. I do have personal challenges with mental health and trauma, like many out there, but I am in the healing stage, and it’s work as always. I’m saying all of this because this is what the blog will be about. It’s about me, my thoughts, my life, and my hobbies. Some topics I plan to cover in the next year are terrariums and terrarium building, my FGC journey, and my ambitious goal to move across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a proud and open trans-woman, though I don’t think that should matter much to you. However, it is a key part of my identity, and I will fight for my rights and the rights of others like me. I will not tolerate any sort of opinionated hate speech, and I don’t care if that hurts your feelings. Go cry about it on X Twitter<\/s>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, that wasn’t too bad, and hopefully you got to learn a little bit about me and are looking forward to reading more posts. I doubt anyone will actually read this blog, but if by some miracle you do and have questions you would like me to answer, leave them in the comments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been your goth barkeep at The Lavender Pub. Signing Off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
