Seeing as i don't use this as a journal [that's what my LJ is for] and seeing as my last entry here was in 2004 - i figured i'd toss up a short blurb with the basics. You know, that stuff you wanna know.

First and foremost, i consider myself a photographer. I specialize in portraits - self portraits more specifically although that's mostly because i don't like people and do not have the friends and or contacts to take portraits of other people. Even if i did, i'd likely still not do it too much -- that whole people thing, y'know.

I doodle both with my tablet and with plain ol' standard pencils. I've gotten better with my digital stuff lately, but will still tell you that my strength is in the graphite. All in all, i don't actually draw all that much anymore.

I may seem to have a passion for wallpaper/desktop images - and yes, i do like them. I make them mostly because i am pretty particular about what goes onto -my- desktop and want there what i want there. Once i started sharing the images, i started adding a bit of variety and experimentation and that'd be why there's a metric shit-ton of desktop images in my gallery.

I am a thirty-something married flirt with no kids, unless you count two great danes and a cat as 'kids.' I don't really like myself all that much. I am brunette, a taurus, and i like the nighttime. I hate being cold, i live in florida, and i think that Rob Thomas is a god. Ok, ok, maybe not a god, but he is the one musical artist that i follow. I despise netspeak with a passion and will go out of my way to completely ignore those folks that use it. I play WoW to the tune of 10 level 70 characters, and yes - now that Wrath is out, it will soon be ten level 80 characters. I do not like conflict in any form. It makes me feel sick to my stomach. I avoid it whenever possible, up to and including internet interaction. I don't flame in forums, i don't leave nasty comments in art communities, and i even feel badly when i vent about my frustrations in my journal. If i call a person out by name, that person has -=earned=- my anger.

I feel that most people are rude and self-centered and have the mentality that they are the only person in the world who matters. After all, they'll never have to look anyone else in the face again, so why the hell not be an ass and cut someone off in traffic, right?

Yeah. When it comes to people and society - as i am sure you can guess - i'd rather be a hermit on a mountain top. Complete with shotgun across the lap while i rock in my chair on the porch. However,...

My mother and my sister are awesome. My friends are amazing, and have supported me through some pretty horrible stuff. They love me despite my mood swings, and believe me - they are saints for it. I truly have one of the best support nets available.

If i missed anything that you absolutely must know, feel free to fire off a note and ask. I don't bite. Usually.

Usually.
