About Me

Hi! My name is Angela, but online I go by Weird Louise.

My Story

Hi, I’m Angela, but online I go by Weird Louise. I’m a geek at heart—video games, anime, books, and all the little worlds you can get lost in. I started Weird Louise to share my interests, connect with like-minded people, and create a space where being a little “weird” is celebrated.

I live with bipolar 2, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder, which means I can be awkward, overthink a lot, and struggle with social interactions. Growing up, I was teased for being different and often felt like an outsider. I spent most of my time drawing, daydreaming, and escaping into cartoons and books. I wanted to fit in, but also secretly loved the parts of myself that were “weird.”

For years, I tried to please people to be liked—often making a fool of myself—only to realize that most of the time, they were laughing at me, not with me. After high school, I retreated into my bubble of interests. It was safe, but lonely. I wanted friends who shared my passions and could see me for me.

In 2018, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and start blogging. I was nervous—what if no one read it? What if I failed? But taking that leap taught me that connection is possible when you share honestly. Blogging has allowed me to meet amazing people in the community, discover others who love the same things I do, and inspire myself to take more chances in life.

I also hold a bachelor’s degree in lifestyle medicine, which informs how I write about health, wellness, and self-care in a way that’s practical and grounded in science—but still approachable for anyone trying to navigate life.

Why Weird Louise?

Weird is part of my identity—and my middle name is Louise—so it felt like a natural fit. I’m also a huge Bob’s Burgers fan, and my favorite character is Louise Belcher: mischievous, clever, and fiercely loyal to the people she cares about. Like her, I embrace my quirks, goofiness, and weirdness—and wanted a name that reflected that.

What I Write About

Weird Louise is a lifestyle blog with a geeky, creative, and personal twist. I write about topics that reflect how I live, learn, and play:

This space is for anyone who’s a little different, loves a little chaos, and wants to feel a little less alone in their weirdness.
