For someone who's been called everything from 'bizarre' to 'one-of-a-kind' to 'weird' as often as I have, I never cease to wonder at the number of times I've heard, "You remind me of someone I used to know," or, "Wow, you're just like my friend..." So, if I'm so weird and stuff, how is it that everyone knows someone like me? I refuse to believe it.

I'm just your average 20-something chick, trying to be me, make career for myself, pay down my student debts, and still have a little fun.

Star Wars is good. Heck, it's great, especially if we're talking about the oldies, puppets and all, though I did see The Phantom Menace five times in theatre and I definitely am digging Revenge of the Sith (just out as I edit this). In fact, I like the SW universe so much, I went and worked on a fan film called Star Wars Revelations, which has gone on to be ridiculously successful. If you're wondering, I did concept art and storyboarding. Cabaret is a fantastic film. You should watch it. Music is a wonderful thing, and listening to it is even better. And I'm talking about REAL music, not just that crap that blasts from the stereos of suped-up, if otherwise, shitty little cars. Turn down your bass, people, there's more to music than what comes out of a sub-woofer. Depeche Mode is my favourite band, but it is not the only band I listen to. My CD rack is organised in these sections: DM (chronologically from latest to earliest), Pop/Rock/Alternative (alphabetically by artist and chronological in order of each artist's album release), Jazz (alphabetically, chronologically), and last but certainly not least, Classical (in the same manner as the others). I like to use non-American spellings of words, even though I was born in the States. I drink coffee and like cookies way too much. I didn't grow out of horses when I discovered boys. I had a cat named Willi and she was the best gift I could possibly have. I used to say she saved my life, but she died in April, 2005 and my life has become much quieter; I'll get used to it eventually.

My mother rocks. I'm not as tall as she is, but am about average height for a man, even though I'm most definitely a woman. We share a lot of interests, she and I, and currently we're sharing the house again. I lived on my own for several years, but this has been quite advantageous to both of us (and helpful for attending school, too). I don't have enough time in my daily life. I work two jobs, both at the ROM, one which I like less than the other, neither being how I want to make my life, but not a bad way to earn money and good steps to a real career in the cultural sector. Fantasy books, flicks, and art are wonderful things, if they're good. I'll say the same for sci-fi, too. Labyrinth is an awesome movie, and David Bowie IS the Goblin King. Don't argue, he is. I spend some of my time playing Realms of Despair, a text-based MUD of masterful proportions. It's where I get my role-play fix when I'm not playing D&D, and it's extended my social life extensively. You know who you are. I disliked university rather more than is healthy, yet, for some reason, they keep thinking that I'd like to give them money. On the other hand, I loved my first college programme; too bad it only lasted four intensive months, and I cannot express how awesome my museum management programme at Fleming College has been.

I think that's about good enough. It says much, and yet, remarkably little.
