About Me

Self-admitted recluse, love an ocean view (when I'm not being a recluse), friend to animals, prefers candlelight to sunlight, would rather be writing than working, would rather be a success than a failure, fiercly competetive, caffeine-addicted, non-smoker, former single parent now happily married, clean-freak, organized, and often sarcastic.

Which Horror Killer are You?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Jigsaw

You are Jigsaw. You dont enjoy killing people at all. You instead love to see how far people will go to live. However if it ends in a bloody death, you still sleep with a smile on your face. You are intelligent, and know how to outwit just about anyone. And that spells bad news for anyone who falls into your games of death and torture.
