About Me

Myspace Layouts
I hang out in Second Life most of the time. If I am not here, leave a message, I may come back here to read it! If you want to hook up with me in SL, leave me a message and I'll give you my screen name!
My ultimate goal in Second Life is to create a Halloween store. Too bad its only seasonal and I won't get it up until next year at the rate I am going now!
If you are wondering why I don't look totally pure Japanese, that's because I am not. I get mistaken for being Filipino all the time...Mabuhay!! I am Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese and proud mother of Scooby Parrot (seven) and Kiddo (four). My husband is a mountain biker and that's how I met him, in the mountain...mountain biking. And no, I don't into the mountain by myself. I used to ride with a large group and that's how I met his group. Now I have no time for MTB, so I hit the pavements instead...running that is. My goal is to do the Honolulu Marathon when I turn 50 and beat the 80-yr-olds.

My Interests

Halloween in every form (I love it 365 days a year!), Valentine's Day, long distance running, mountain biking, parrots, gardening, cooking (and eating it), collecting all kinds of stuff (Halloween stuff, Fenton Art Glass, books, images off the web), wine, cats, herbs, photography, Macintosh Apples :-), collecting DHTML scripts, reading horror/suspense novels.

I'd like to meet:

Other Halloween enthusiasts (D56 collectors, mini village makers, yard haunters, etc), vegetarians and vegans, wine lovers, House Music lovers, mountain bikers, weekend warrior runners and parrot owners!
