About me:

Former Chicagoan, moved to San Jose, CA in 2000. I became a Christian in 2002, and am a much happier person than I was when I was growing up! I don't smoke, I still drink occasionally in social situations. I read like a fiend, everything from Christian fiction to sci-fi/fantasy (lots!) to horror to, well, anything. And of course the Bible too. I'm an animal lover and currently volunteer with a no-kill cat shelter, caring for the cats and doing some outreach projects, and also working on their website. My roommate and I also take two of the cats (one who is still in training) to visit the elderly as 'therapy cats' with Furry Friends Pet Assisted Therapy Services (www.furryfriends.org). Not married. I also sing in my church, since I love to sing. No, I'm probably not very good! So? :) Although the choir I sang in is on hold right now, so we'll see what I do next. Maybe I'll join drama for the church. I do like to be dramatic! I work for a software company, I'm the tech support manager, so I'm a bit of a geek. However, I also like to hike on occasion, play softball sometimes, and enjoy physical sports and keeping busy. And I'm a HUGE Cubs fan!!!!! I'd be willing to talk to people just for fun, and to find people with similar interests!

anyone, for chatting .. about animals, pet therapy work, reading, whatever.

I'm not an internet newbie by any standards (using irc/the web/telnet/gopher since 1995).
