I am creative, quirky, and whimsy-driven.

My Self-Summary

I *loathe* writing these things. :) I'm a geek, I work in IT, I have 2 dogs and compete with them in various dog sports (agility, etc). I love to cook, (but frequently don't, because I am LAZY.) have a slight obsession with creating the world's perfect stir fry, I love camping and hiking if I don't have to carry anything heavy and it's cooler than 80 degrees. (Texas is definitely not the best state for this... )

I write, I draw, I paint, and a variety of other creative/artsy stuff. Currently busy lacerating the tips of my fingers, I mean learning how to needlefelt. So far I have made a hat for something the approximate size of a squirrel (have not yet captured a squirrel to test, however), a corgi-shaped applique, and am working on a nifty little dragon.

What I’m doing with my life

Working in IT. (Debian is love.)I work for a little IT company in the Lakewood neighborhood of Dallas as the junior tech- mostly doing server and desktop maintenance and repair, along with drips and drabs of web design.

In August, I took a weeklong camping trip to the Oregon Coast, and had a real blast. I'm currently plotting my escape, I mean, in the process of buying an RV to restore and becoming a tech/art gypsy making an living doing website design, art and campground hosting (and attending art festivals!) while seeing the country and finding a place I'd like to settle down and homestead (probably someplace desert-y and mountain-y. :)

I’m really good at

problem-solving (other people's problems only ;P), training dogs, stage fright. Sounding incredibly self absorbed? (I promise I'm not THAT bad.) Using passive voice.

The first things people usually notice about me

my weird sense of humor is what I would like to think. That I am a fat chick is probably more likely.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

books: Remembering to Breathe, the Temeraire series, a lot of general sci-fi and fantasy. Mercedes Lackey & Anne McCaffery are literary comfort food. I also love random non-fiction- right now I am reading "Building Harlequin's Moon" by Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper.
movies: no clue. Probably the LOTR movies- I also love the Narnia movies and The Princess Bride. So shiny. I have a limited amount of patience for 'serious' movies and romantic comedy. If it could happen 'for real' to people 'just like me' what's the fun?
music: celtic, folk, and classic rock, with some occasional detours into country and bluegrass.
food: stirfry! citrusy-flavored things. BBQ. All three at once? Sure!

The six things I could never do without

my dogs, my computer (or at least a journal and pen!), art, books, my family, beautiful places to visit.
To be fair? One *could* live without these things. But it'd hardly be worth the name.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

moving someplace cooler and more scenic, plans for the future, tricks to teach my dogs, and Halloween costumes. Zombie and raptor attacks. How to break the 350K barrier I'm stuck at in Bejeweled Blitz. (HAH, 309K, take that stupid cubes!)

On a typical Friday night I am

Working. :P I know, boring, but I teach a class that meets on fridays currently.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I hate meeting people, which is why I have no social life. At the same time, I'm a pretty social person. I just hate all the awkward 'getting to know you' stuff.

You should message me if

you feel like it?
