About me:

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present"

My self-summary This is kind of a hard section to write about since I'm not sure who I am yet. I am on a mission of self discovery and I know that there are a few people in my life, I'm beginning to think of them as the fantastic five, that I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them.

I have two “kids” Jak Jak and Terra they are my dogs. Jak Jak is a Jack Russel/Corgi mix and Terra is a Brendal Pitt mix and they are the most loving sensitive dogs I have ever had, and I have had quite a few pets. They are spoiled rotten like any dogs belonging to a 25 year old woman with no children and get almost everything they want.

I am an avid reader by far my favorite writer of all time without question is Jean M Auel and her Earth’s Children series. I also love the writings by Dean Koontz, John Grisham, Older writings from Stephen King, I love the Pendergast series. Basically anything that is a mystery, sci-fi, adventure, or law book I’ll read. I also love fantasy anything from Harry Potter (I hated the Movies) to Lord of the Rings. Good Omens, Isle of the Blue Dolphins, The Drow Series and all books with Drizzt in them, I love TPB's mainly the Sandman run, also a big fan of Fight Club, Choke and Lullaby. I love anything by Douglas Preston, Niel Gaiman, and Chuck Palahniuk. There's many other authors but i am not going to go on forever.

I also love to watch television and I’m an avid anime fan I collect different series such as Inuyasha, Read or Die, and Lain. I watch a lot of Law and Order, CSI, Hell’s Kitchen, Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmare’s, Bones, and Chuck as well as a few other shows. Btw. Star Trek over Star Wars any day.

I have over 500 movies in my house including series... I'm a movie nut. I watch pretty much anything but my favorites are Girl Interrupted, But I'm a Cheerleader, Fight Club, Evolution, and Man of the Year the very top of the list by far is Howl’s Moving Castle I love anything by Miyazaki. I also like pretty much any type of move except horror there isn’t enough story there for my tastes and I always Cry whenever there is a horse in a move. No idea why I just do. Spirit of the Cimmeron is a a beautiful example of me crying for over the entire length of the movie.

I'm not a big Music person. Favorite bands are Eve 6, Frou Frou, and Blues Traveler. I'm good with anything pretty much in the 70's - late 90's stuff. Newer music it really depends.

I also am an avid gamer I used to play World of Warcraft since closed beta on the Horde and have been playing Eve-Online for the past year and a half. I also play a lot of PS2, I love Disguia, XBOX360 and Wii console stuff. I also have a DS that can generally always be found on my person. I'm an love playing board, video, and online games and I love the fun and competition in them.

I love working and having a love for your job is important for me but also a love for family and friends. I'm a crafts guru. I crochet, do beadwork, make jewelry, and do anything else really arts and crafty. I assemble book shelves and desks and stuff and really take pride in what I do.

I am learning to cook. I’m an avid baker both in deserts and in breads and there is usually three of each found in my house. Food. I love food. I'm an Italian and Chinese food nut. I also love Sushi. Cheese is a magical thing for me and I always have a pound of Camembert and Brie somewhere in the house.

I have no earthly idea what I am doing with my life. Which I find fun in all honesty. I am working on my CCNA Certification. I love IT and telecommunications. I'm looking for lots of new friends and new ways to grow in my life.
