I grew up mostly in Wisconsin (but I am NOT a cheese head! Packer Lackers! ;o) ) I was born in late December in a hospital (duh!) but I can't even remember the hospital's name any more. *shrug* When people ask "Where are you from?" I sometimes answer with "My mother." ;)

Since 5th grade, I've known that I was meant to be a writer. I may have been horrible at writing at the time, but it quickly became my passion. Since then, I've been practicing, slowly building up my skills into what you see in the later seasons. I still have a loooong way to go before I'm as good as I want to be.

The biggest change in my life is the best change of my life: I've found someone. I have a girlfriend...and I can honestly say that I have never, ever been this happy in my entire life. I'm not going to get into detail cause the whole world doesn't need to know all the details of my personal life...but life is good now :)

My hobbies? Obviously, writing. Another hobby I've only recently started is CGI work. Odd as it may seem, though, that is directly related to my writing. Had I not started STDragon, I don't know if I would even know what CGI meant yet! Other hobbies include: reading (a good book and a cup of tea makes my day!), watching movies (or rather, good movies), piecing together plastic models (Haven't done that in a while, but I may some day start doing it again), web site designing, and video games (playing a good game with a great story also makes my day!)

On a note about video games. Most people play video games for the game play, the challenge. I'll do that on some games that have no story line, but are still fun in my opinion (Ridge Racer 5, Need for Speed 3.) However, I prefer games WITH in depth, moving, emotional story lines. Hence, RPG's, or Role Playing Games. They are all based around the story line and not just the game play. I admit, I'll cheat on a lot of RPG's, but that is because I care only about the story line, and not the challenge. Playing a good RPG like Final Fantasy 7 or Legend of Legaia is like sitting down to read a long, good novel.

Had enough of my boring life? If you want to get to know me better (I don't know why anyone would, but it's happened before), please email me! I'm always on the look out for a good friend with similar interests, or as someone else once called them, similar 'passions.'
