Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

With so many sub-sections this almost seems redundant...

The bare facts? I'm a mom of two boys who keep me on my toes. I love to learn, experience and argue! I'm told that on first meeting me my confidence makes me a mite intimidating, but if you get past that I'm kind, loyal and fun. I love to laugh, be silly and experience anything new.

There is more in this world than I could ever touch, see, smell or hear - I want to be a part of it all!

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm forever striving to learn more, understand less, and have fun in the process! I'm a member of the video games press which makes me an oxymoron - a female gamer; it allows me to travel 2-4 times a month and get out of the Arizona heat!

I'm a writer and editor. If I'm not writing, I'm reading. There are fewer things I love more in the world than words. Having gone back to school (for the fourth time as an adult), I'm near completion on a degree in Communications - if only I'd found this field of study years ago.

When I'm not writing about games or playing them, I'm writing for games. I work as a consultant and writer of dialogue and quests.

Oh yes, and I am forever looking for the silliest possible ways to make my two boys smile! If I can't embarrass them at least once a day, I'm doing something wrong.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Trivia, copy-editing, seeing the details that others miss, understanding the big picture, frustrating the ones who love me (in a good way) ... and bringing people together.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I'm loud. I'm pushy - it isn't that I want my way, I simply want to do things now! I care, a lot. I'm incapable of small talk so I tend to not notice when I've asked the wrong question too soon.

I'm a complete and total dork. I have no problem being silly in public.

Oh yes, and I have a rather large derriere. It's hard to miss. :)

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Why people are the way they are; how human interaction works.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Writing, chatting on VOIP with friends in England, randomly searching through University libraries as if they are Wikipedia (yes, I find this enjoyable) or walking around one of the outside malls if it is not too blisteringly hot.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Willing to admit: More than one person has told me I have no fear (are they kidding?). I'm afraid of heights, glass elevators, and sudden loud noise. All of them leave me breathless, shaking and occasionally with wet panties - no, not in the good way. But, it doesn't stop me.

You should message me if Propose an edit

You are not afraid to say, "let me finish my sentence, please"; you like silly; you find a person whose down time clocks in at 300kph; or, you just want to chat about life, the universe, and yellow raspberries.
