Jen -- I'm 28 years old, and very happily married to that sexy guy next to me. My day job right now is working on a helpdesk for Borland Software. My job is a pretty good mix of helpdesk/desktop/server admin, so there's a lot of variety and it keeps me busy. But I am working hard on my writing every day so that I can someday achieve my dream of becoming a published author. The last few months have brought a lot of improvements, and I have met some wonderful writers who give me insight and inspiration every day (see my friend's list for some of their books - you should check them out!). Thanks to them, I feel like I can actually make this crazy dream of mine into a reality. I'm working on my first book right now, but I have ideas for many more.
Aside from writing, I love to cook a really good meal. Difficult little shit that I am, I always have to find the hard stuff to make, like creme brulee and veal marsala. This is my famous spinach artichoke dip. I also love to play World of Warcraft but Randy is hooked way worse than me. I also enjoy tinkering with web design (so, yes I make most of our MySpace layouts - when I have time).
Randy -- I'm 33 Years old, and I am going back to college in the fall to get a degree in coaching (Jen wants me to get a degree in film studies) so I can be an NHL hockey coach one day. I love my wife, she takes good care of me. Even on my worst of days she can make me smile. I love to watch movies and play video games as you can see by my massive dvd collection. I've been dubbed "Randywood" by my friends. I also have other hobbies which I indulge in, like ATVing, building home theaters, and eating more Twizzlers then anyone on the planet (yes Twizzlers have become a hobby *grin*). My personal favorite quote to anyone, "You only live once, make the most of it and be eternally happy." I know I am.

Reunion...

Saturday night I went, for some inexplicable reason, to my ten year high school reunion. It was something I had been debating about for quite some time. Believe it or not, I was really rather shy in h...
