Queen Riding Hood, all grown up & ruler of the 2nd Kingdom, but captive of the 10th Kingdom.

About Me


I grew up in Northern California and have been living in Florida for the last 13 years and now have set out on a Travel Adventure. I'm a Emergency Room/Trauma travel nurse and snow dog/Alaskan Malamute/animal rescue enthusiast. The animals that are in my life now, and those that have come and gone, are the children I choose for now.
My HOPE is to be traveling for the next few years, I plan to do some extensive traveling here in the US, and hopefully UK,Ireland, and the Scottish Highlands ;-) other parts of Europe. I plan to go to New Zealand sometime by the end of the year and where ever else my feet and might will take me once i walk outside that door.

"She was not quite what you would call refined.
She was not quite what you would call unrefined.
She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.
~Mark Twain from "Following the Equator"

I enjoy riding motorcyles, been riding for about 20 years now. My last bike was a 600 Suzuki Katana.

The SCA, weapons training of any kind (archery, heavy weapons & fencing) ;-)

Illumination and Writing Fiction

Medieval history,Regency history, art history and garb. Art and expression are wonderful gifts! I enjoy learning from poeple who are passionate about what they teach, and take great pleasure in pursuing my own creative interests.

I love being outdoors, in the mountains or hiking/trekking, tennis, camping and dog sledding.

I'd like to meet:

People who are honest and fun and have the quality of chivalry.

People who find it important to take care of themselves and this world that we live in.

No More!
"The environment is the infrastructure of our communities. As a nation, as a civilization, it's our obligation to create communities for our children that provide them with opportunities for dignity and good health. When we destroy nature, we diminish ourselves and impoverish our children. WE IGNORE THAT AT OUR OWN PERIL!"

Music:

I grew up listening to and loving: hard rock, alternative rock, hair metal and heavy metal. I have developed a great passion for classical music in the last few years and found that is has transformed my reason for how i live.>

Jacqueline du Pré with the Davydov Stradivarius and Daniel Barenboim/>

"Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend." -- Ludwig van Beethoven--

"Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same." --Franz Schubert--

Movies:

Anything period or medieval: LOTR, Excalibur, Elizabeth, Braveheart, Troy, etc......any Regency period film all things(Jane Austen), comedies and of course anything with a snowdog. Movies are a form of art and I enjoy any movie or docudrama that inspires or amuses.

Television:

If im not watching some sort of period film, then either the history channle or LOST! However, I do like to watch sports.

Andriy Voronin (Ukrain)in the World Cup, but now plays for Liverpool,..... HOT!

Books:

I'm a huge book fan. I enjoy reading the fantasy/sci-fi/classics genre (Beowulf, Tolkien, Robert Jorden, McCaffrey, etc.). I also enjoy all things Jane Austen. V. Woolf and other female authors, books about animals and pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Ok, I'm a book junkie........yes, a bibliophile.

Heroes:

Some are fictional and some are real. When i have become better acquainted with you, then i will enlighten you!
