I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I never know what to say in these things. I like horror movies, music of all kinds, cars, motorcycles, and video games. I always wanted to learn to skateboard, but I never did. I like to go to the zoo. I like being in the woods or at the lake. Low-budget filmmaking rocks my socks off.

My Interests

Horror movies, video games, pop music, pop culture, mexico, spanish language, Italian Horror movies, Low-budget movies, low-budget special effects techniques, genealogy, science, Science Fiction, synthetic hair extensions (I'm obsessed, but too low maintenance to actually have them), trivia, strategy games, cats, rocks and minerals, herbology, natural remedies, folklore, fairy tales, fantasy, goblins, fishing, gardening, geocaching...
