Preludes and Nocturnes...

About Me

Hey I'm here to catch up with old friends and maybe meet a few new ones in the process! I grew up in Dublin, CA (not Ireland!) and continue to live in the Bay Area. This is the Year of a Million Dreams for both Disneyland and myself! I just had the perfect wedding to the perfect man! I graduated in 2006 with my BS in Business, but though for awhile I was a marketing manager, I gave it all up to pursue my dream of becoming a writer.

In my spare time, I go on adventures both locally and abroad. I love to dance, go hiking, and visit amusement parks, especially Disneyland - "THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH" (besides my house). I also enjoy reading, writing, drawing, painting, designing, scrapbooking, sewing, needlepoint, and all kinds of other crafts from model building to crochet.

I am an uber geek. I love gaming tabletop (DnD, Whitewolf, GURPS, Lo5R, Runequest, just to name a few), video (adventure, 1st person shooters, and fighting games), and LARP occasionally. I love Star Wars (Han shot first!!) I love comics more Marvel than DC more Vertigo than anything else.

I am a movie affectionado. I watch everything. I've seen a lot. My favorite movies are romance, comic book types, period, Disney princess movies (yes, I may be a geek but I'm still a princess inside), WWII movies, sports movies, and fantasy. I don't watch TV unless it's already on DVD. (I have an impulse control problem.)

Well, that's me in a nutshell.
