About Me

I live on a mountain, up on a tree somewhere. I am sometimes geeky, sometimes artsy, a bit of a gamer. I have been known to be stubborn but also laid back. I love projects but I am happy when they are done. I am social but I also enjoy being alone too. I am serious but a little goofy. I'm very logical but not immune to stupidity. I find humour in almost anything (haven't figured out if that's always a good thing...lol). I don't like describing myself but I still wrote something. I don't like empty spaces.

A friggin loaf of bread?! Booo!

My Interests

Some things I like

Travel, gaming, graphic design, people, fitness, languages, music, movies, photography, listening to audio books, art, road trips.

Not gaming much right now, just testing my litle brain on Big Brain Academy. Woot! hehe. I'm A-! Woot! Waiting for my vid card to get fixed and then getting a new graphics tablet to start making artsy crap! ;)

In need of inspiration

Ever get stuck working on something? I'm having one of those spells. I am stuck! Too many things in my head and they're taking up too much space. That translates into not being able to sleep. Argh! I ...

Canadian women rule!

The Olympics are finally over and television programs can now return to their regular schedules. I didn't get into it as much as other years. Maybe it was the time difference. I used to like the figu...
