You are most likely to find me sitting on the front porch of my house with a cup of tea. I enjoy writing. It does not quite pay the bills, but I have faith that it eventually will.

I also enjoy travelling, riding motorcycles and my scooter/working on motorcycles/scooters/cars, cuddling with my German Shepherd, fencing, primitive archery, horseback riding, Tae Kwon Do, snowboarding and getting lost in the woods or the mountains for weeks at a time.

I love computers - of which there are somewhere between four and six in my house (an untold number of hard drives). I loathe Microsoft.

I also adore cooking (especially CURRY or PANCAKES!), READING science fiction and fantasy (Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny, Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files", anything by Ray Bradbury), READING - theoretical physics, Eastern philosophy, history (especially Japanese and Italian Renaissance), taking care of my reptiles (gecko, beardie and boa constrictor), photography, COSTUMES, hats - especially fedoras, listening to music - Goth, Glam, Metal, Classic Rock, German Industrial, Blues, Punk and Ska - and for some inexplicable reason Kate Nash?, sewing, drawing, comics, repairing books and cleaning weapons (I'm a museum curator), Anime and all things Japanese, Highlander, Doctor Who, Firefly, Korean soap operas (although I don't speak much Korean), Roleplaying Games - (Shadowrun, VTM, D&D and Exalted), Goth & Steampunk, Ren Faires, Cons, SCA , geeking out with my "house husband" after a long day in "The Basement", working in the community garden/flea market and other "fringy" stuff.
