I am here for Friends

About Me

Hmmm...let's see. I like it when something surreal becomes real. I'm a big fan of Miyazaki. Really cute San-X toys make me giggle, and giggling makes me happy. I have a little brother named Sunny, because when my mom named him, it was a sunny day. He's the coolest lil brother I could ever ask for. But I used to get jealous when she would say, "It's a sunny day!" and I would say, "No, it's not. It's a Susan day." I like to write. I even like writing research papers. I used to be a reporter for a local business newspaper right after graduation from university. I'm married to a lovely British bloke. I met him because my friend Ken was nice enough to talk to him at a Sasha & Digweed party. He's so sweet - he reads to me at night because I have trouble falling asleep. I have a twinsie named Tony. He's lovable yet bratty. I like mountain biking, kickboxing, hiking, yoga, reading, thinking, knitting, crocheting, drawing, drinking gin and tonic with a splash of lime juice. I just joined a knitting group and I'm really excited about it. I once knew a guy who could blow circles with smoke. Wish I could do that. We just adopted a dog from the pound. She's a whippet/pointer/greyhound mix and is a bundle of trouble and love. Her name is Matilda, but we call her Tilda for short. Here's a piccy of her:

My Interests
