I enjoy spending much of my time learning new things through internet research. I am quite familiar with coding most computer languages by hand and I love to build and design websites.
At home, I'm an animal lover and a movie watcher and collector. I have 4 cats and three dogs (a Saint Bernard, a Rott/Lab Mix and a White German) lots of fish, a box turtle, and lots and lots of plants. I burn more candles than most people buy in a lifetime...and my movie collection is in the thousands and growing. I also collect framed 8x10 movie still and TV show cast photos and original movie theater posters.
I prefer to hang out at home, but, like most women...I also like to shop! I especially love a great thrift store find!
Astrological Sign: Leo (warm and cuddly until someone rubs them the wrong way!).
The Sims Complete Collection
EVE Online: Trinity
Grand Theft Auto series for Playstation 2 (all of the games in this series are way too addicting...they takes months to finally beat...I highly recommend cheat codes for those who are impatient like me)
Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species (you get to build and operate your own virtual zoo with really neat animals)
anyone who has a bag of money to give me ;-)
anyone who will yell "mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"!!
