I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a jewelry designer who works in sterling silver, as well as a graphics artist, part-time writer, and all around video game addict. When I'm not in my workshop sawing, pounding and manipulating solid moonlight (aka that silver stuff I mentioned), I'm stuck in front of a PS3, XBox360 or a computer screen, whacking away at some RPG or adventure game, or something where you get to kill loads of zombies. (Insert evil laugh here.)I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Let's see..... Kalan Porter, video games, jewelry, music, video games, Kalan Porter, reading fantasy/sci-fi/horror, video games, watching TV/movies,..... did I mention video games? And Kalan Porter? *grin*

I'd like to meet:

Kalan Porter, winner of Canadian Idol 2004!!! I got to meet him very briefly one time back in 2005 when I managed to personally deliver a custom pendant to him. I'd love to actually sit and and talk with him for awhile, since he's not only amazing as a musician, singer and songwriter... but has a fabulous sense of humour. UPDATE: met him again and presented him with an extra special pendant, designed just for him. Hope you liked it, Kalan!I'd also love to get a chance to talk to Motley Crue, who also received a set of pendants, specially crafted for each band member. Tommy Lee (the drummer to those not familiar with the group) actually wore his steadily for an 8 month period during the 2006 tour. I'd love to know if the rest of the guys like theirs, too.

Music:

Kalan Porter, Motley Crue, EUROPE, WASP, Brazon Abbot, Enya, Tangerine Dream, .... actually, I like a LOT of music, from hard rock to pop to new age, and even some classical. No polka, please. Or country/western. Really limited on rap.

Movies:

Oh, this would take an hour or two and the space would run out. I guess the top ones are "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children", "Lord Of The Rings", "Evil Dead" series, "Nightmare On Elm Street" series, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "X-Men" series, "Spiderman" series.... I love horror, fantasy, superhero, action, adventure.... Also, anime is high on the list: "Fullmetal Alchemist" is the best!

Television:

Okay, here's where it really gets crazy. "House" (gotta have my dose of sarcasm pills), "Law & Order" etc., "CSI" etc., "Robot Chicken" (BAWK!), weird cartoon shows like "Sons Of Butcher" (mindrot in its purest form *grin*), ancient history documentaries (like the ancient Egyptians), "Mythbusters", "Terminator";the list goes ever on.....

Books:

Hmmm.... read any good books lately? Sounds like a pick-up line. Well, I guess I have to revert to old faves for this short list. Take anything that's early Stephen King and you have my attention. Especially "IT". His "Dark Tower" series is probably my favourite. Otherwise, it's a list of obscure anthology series, like "Pan Horror Stories vol. 1" and up. Then there's "The Book Of Paradox" and other novels/series by Louise Cooper. And yes.... I do read "Harry Potter".

Heroes:

Kalan Porter, Motley Crue, Salvador Dali, Stephen King, Square Enix (they make the BEST RPG video games).I would also like to highly recommend Beadaholique.com as the best online bead store going. I do all my shopping there for sterling silver beads, jump rings and connectors; as well as semi-precious gemstone and glass beads. They are wonderful to deal with and very attentive to their customers. If you bead, you should go to Beadaholique.com! They are also at eBay.
