About Me

I always feel like I'm the "new girl". I've lived in 3 different countries, went to 6 different elementary schools, 2 different high schools, and 3 different colleges, plus I've moved 6 times in the past 6 years. Moving throughout my childhood has affected my personality greatly. At times, it might take me a bit to warm up to people new in my life. Upon meeting me, you might catch me in my generally upbeat, happy, easy going social mood. But then again, I can also be serious, silently brooding, plotting, and solitary. I spend a lot of time behind the computer, at home and at work, but when I finally pry myself off and enter "party-mode", the difference is like night and day.

My Interests

I love to journal. That is what keeps me from the brink of insanity, along with my other obsessive compulsive habits. I'm working on my 47th journal. I've been writing incessantly since I was 13. I also used to play a lot of MUDs (multi-user Dungeons & Dragons, text based, old school baby!) but now I play There.com most of the time. You can stalk me there, avatar name Dihtri. I write a little bit of poetry from time to time (more then, not so much now). I like to exercise, dance, eat healthy, bake cookies, make sock monkeys, tinker around in website design, make crafts, wear costumes, and go places where people wear costumes (Ren Faire, Comic Con, Themed Parties/Parades). I also like to observe society, individuals, and groups/cliques. People are such interesting creatures. I would travel not so much for the historical or visual, but more for the cultural aspect.
What Renaissance Performer are you?
You are a Street Character! Some folk have trouble striking up conversations with strangers, but not so for you! No one is safe from your attentions and it is your goal to guarantee that all comers leave with at least one direct interaction under their belt. You may not be the king or a knight, but theres a good bet people will remember you for a long time to come!

People from There.com , the Radio Tiki guys and some of their dedicated listeners, and members of Geekitude .

Music:

I grew up learning how to make music rather than just listening to it. I play piano, learned clarinet then switched to trombone for the rest of high school playing Symphonic, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band, and marching in parades and field shows. Yes, I was a Band Geek. I tinkered around with tenor sax one summer in high school and I have been playing the bass guitar for 2 years now. I also sang in a 5-6 piece contemporary church band for a year or two. My tastes in genre vary, and I won't classify myself by the type of music I listen to.

Television:

I don't watch too much TV. I'm out of that whole mainstream media thing but now that I have Netflix, I can catch up on some episodes minus the time hungry, brain consuming commercials. Some favorites include Firefly, Arrested Development, and Wonderfalls.

Books:

I like How-To books, craft books, blank books, and from time to time, one of those books you'd find in the self-help isle. I like to read about personality types and how they relate to other personalities. I'm not really into main stream fiction. Maybe if I took a literature class, but not on my spare time. I have too many stories of my own to write down. Recently I've been reading about different spiritual philosophies.

Heroes:

My grandmother on my mom's side. My mom. My brother.

Vacation: Day 2 Visual Journal

Yesterday was more windy roads so I wasn't able to draw as much as the day before. I did manage to jot a few notes down. We arrived later at the hotel, but I did manage to dump out my purse and get al...

Vacationing with my Visual Journal

This is a surprising feat for me. I'm usually the type to get car sick when doing more than just looking blankly out of the window. I gave it a try. I think because I was sitting in the front seat wit...

MUD in my Life

MUDs (Multi-User Dimensions) are the retro text based equivalent to modern MMO's as Pac Man and Donkey Kong are to modern Console Games. If it weren't for MUDding through college, I wouldn't be workin...

Back From Vegas

Hi Folks. It's been a while since I posted about the goings on of my life. I went to Vegas this past weekend (Sunday - Tuesday) and it wasn't so bad. I've been hesitant to go to Vegas for a while. Thi...

Life Challenge

At times I may seem spiteful by edgy comments I might say or write from time to time. I may seem angry, bored, or frustrated with life during those very moments, but in general, I'm rather amused by i...

Finding Dihtri.

I see you looking at me from afar. You might be thinking, she is having the time of her life. She is living the carefree life that she's always wanted, and now she's got not a worry in the world. It's...

House Party

I've been spending a lot of my Friday nights at home, it seems. Well, I usually make up for it during the rest of the weekend. For example, last Friday, I spent the night listening to the banter of 4 ...

St. Patrick's Day Weekend

Fast forward to St. Patrick's Day. As you can see from my profile picture, lots of flair was encouraged at the workplace. We missed out on our Mardigras celebration at work so it was combined on ...
