I am here for Friends

About Me

I used to make super fancy profiles for myself, but I'm not even bothering with any styling anymore. I want to say it's because I'm just too busy, but the reality is that I'm sick of the hacked-up CSS that I have to use to do anything fancy.

I love to talk with people- not just to them. There's a difference. Being engaged in a conversation is more interesting than just talking about the weather. I love stories, and I'm attracted to people with stories to tell- people who have more to say than just "I'm doing pretty good, what about you?" Because I know that, given the chance, I have plenty of my own stories to share.

That being said, I thrive in Online communities such as this. I not only meet new people, but I get to practice what I really love: web design. But this is just little stuff for now. I packed up my whole life, and moved 400 miles away to attend The Art Institute of California- Orange County, where I'm studying to get a Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Media Design. I'm totally loving my new life down here in Orange County. I'm busy as Hell, but at least I can spend my days off at Disneyland- or just watch the fireworks from my bedroom window.

Outside of school, I don't really have much going on. I'm not currently working, so in my free time I play World of Warcraft, and spend time with my beloved Chris- who moved down here with me. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without him. His smile keeps me going, and his love keeps me going strong. ♥

My biggest regret of 2007

A little lesson on Windows.

Over the last year, I've come to a staggering realization that people just don't know how to use Windows. Sure, it's easy enough that people can get by and do their day-to-day tasks, but it really jus...

The reason I will NEVER pay for an Adobe Product.

Sure, the fact that Adobe Products are so easy to pirate is reason enough to never buy their products, but I was just given a good reason to never feel bad about it.I've been working heavily in Adobe ...
