About Me

I don't accept blind friend requests. Unless we've actually met, do not try to add me as a friend without some kind of explination about who you are or why you want to list me as a friend. However feel free to IM me to chat if you like.

I was born and raised in OKC, and earned a degree for Graphic Design at the University of Central Oklahoma in 1995. I moved to Charlottesville VA for my graphics internship at an established game company, where I ended up doing everything from product development to web mastering. In 2001 I headed west to California to be a line-developer for a small press publisher that specialized King Arthur related games and fiction. While I have friends and family in Oklahoma living elsewhere has heightened my appreciation of travel, exploration and the adventure of life. The most important lesson I've learned from moving about is that I can live anywhere and make friends.

I am now in New York!!! I am attending University of Syracuse to obtain a Masters in Library and Information Science. I’d like to meet people from the Syracuse area who might have ideas of what’s worth doing there or who might find me interesting enough to hang out with. I'd like to get to know the area well enough to consider staying on once I have my Masters.

Personality: On the plus side I'm creative, dynamic, and have a strong personal presence. I'm always there for my friends. Occasionally I can be scatterbrained or a bit of a smart aleck.

My Interests

Interests: Art, cooking, massage, movies, renfaires, sci-fi & fantasy. If left to my own devices I gravitate to video games, reading, drawing/painting, web-page design, TV and lately walking or going to the gym. When hanging out with friends or family I enjoy board & card games, RPGS, theater, festivals, concerts, hosting parties, going to hockey games, and just about anything. I don’t follow sports on TV, but I like going to sporting events.

I'd like to meet:

Single women, friends from my past, friends from my future, people I went to school with, and those of you with similar interests.
