I live
in beautiful Clearlake, California. (Since most people have
no clue where Clearlake is, it's in Lake County... about 2
hours northeast of S.F. & 2 hours northwest of Sac- next
county over from Napa.) I was raised (mainly) in Sonoma County,
CA, but I've lived many other places, especially along the
[US] west coast. I have one course left to graduate from college...
Yuba College, Clearlake Campus, with my General Ed. A.A. degree,
then two more courses for an AA in Art.. I've recieved certificates
in Business Computer Applications, & Small Business Entrepreneurship.
I have tons of hobbies and interests, & never enough time
lol! I'm an artist (in various mediums,) a writer (working
on fantasy novels, & always poems,) a beading junkie &
craft-addict, a gaming-addict (RPG's most often... PC &
PS2 platforms, & IRL RPG's... D&D 3E /Star Wars, &
Palladium/Rifts are my favorites. And I just can't ever get
enough of MTG lol!!!) I'm a little mama of three boys now!
I have one son who is eight years old (& a lil genious...
not even kidding- though because of it he's easily bored lol)
& another lil boy who's also quite intelligent but a major
DEMON at two lol, and now a newborn (born on 1/30/05!) They're
an incredible blessing in my life! (& an incredible challenge
lol!) (There's pics of our family in the photo section.)
I've been doing
web design for about 7 years, and was planning on making a
career out of it. But, I got a bit burned-out on it &
decided that I really didn't want to do it full-time, or even
part-time, as I had been... Lol I really was burned out! But
now, after a suitable break, I'm getting back into it! But
mainly I've decided I really, truly wanna be a visual &
literary artist when (if) I grow up! ;-D Please

Things are going
pretty well in my life right now! My fiancee's name is Mike,
and we've been together for over 4 years now :) (& still
in love with each other!) We really are perfect for each other...
it's like something from a fairy tale (-perhaps Alice in Wonderland?!!
or maybe 10th Kingdom? Shrek?) I'd say it's too good to be
true, except that I know that it is. It's so damn perfect,
that it makes us both want to puke, especially if one more
person says we make a "cute" couple! ;P We've been
intending on getting married for three years now lol, but
we both feel that WE should pay for the wedding, not our families,
just outta principle, & we want a pretty nice, renaissance
themed wedding & we've been broke lol! (though I do have
my dress already- YAY EBAY! & I have a friend who's an
ordained minister, who'll marry us as a wedding gift! so who
knows how soon lol) Anyways, I ramble on. Sorry. ;)
LATEST NEWS:
New little boy in born on January 30th! EGAD!!! Three boys-

to watch chick flicks again! In other news, I'm really stoked,

Yay! It needed work, and then some, and then some more, and
yes, it still needs a bit more lol. But at least it's ours!
Wohoo! + I have a place I can set up a small art studio! Lol,
