About Me


I'm a geek girl at heart. I grew up reading/watching items about the space program, space exploration, and have seen many Shuttle launches. I love to read, including books by Neil Gaiman, Ray Bradbury, Asimov, Marion Zimmer Bradley, JK Rowling, Philip K. Dick, and Phillip Pullman.
I played TheRealm from '96 to '99, EQ from 99-'04, WoW from alpha to now, although I've scaled back my playing habits to accommodate for RL.
I enjoy going to DragonCon and the Rennaissance Fair every year. I love to do henna art. I know my way around a computer and have a basic knowledge of html (as ancient history as that is now). I'm affectionate, creative and a tad bit silly- which is right out! I love to travel and have been to Japan.
I don't mean to be mean, but for goodness sake, if you message me, have something to say. If I don't know you, no I'm not going to add you. If your profile has no info and no pic, if you can't bother to take the time to talk about *you* then no- I'm not interested in you. Nor am I here for booty calls.
What Greek Goddess are You?
Athena. Also known as Minerva, you are the wisest of the gods and goddesses. You can be spiteful, however, if anyone tries to best you. You are an excellent weaver, and generally the most level-headed of the goddesses.

My Interests


Henna, henna and more henna. Mehndi is an ancient art form of decorating the skin with a paste made from henna leaves. It's one of my passions.
Japan... I studied the language for a year and lived there for a semester. I'm no otaku, but I do enjoy some anime and sushi.
Books... I love to read. From every Dan Brown book, to Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Movies.. comedies, romance, action, foreign flicks, some bollywood. I highly recommend "Kal Ho Naa Ho"
Your Element Is Air
You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.

Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.

You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that! What's Your Element?
