BioNote: This journal is friends only. If for some reason you decide that you want to read my crazy ramblings, you may friend me and I'll consider friending you back, depending upon mood and interest.
Me: Living in Kentucky with my fiance, I am an Aspie who is slightly allergic to milk (doesn't keep me away from chocolate and ice cream, though, as long as I have something to drink so my throat doesn't close up!) and I have the cutest daughter in the world; she was born in October.
I love writing, mostly fantasy and some sci-fi, and so far have written three and a half series in one long chain of events, among other novels, series, and short stories; I have nothing published...yet. My favorite animals are wolves and dogs, especially poodles, and I have a stuffed wolf for a purse (and a keychain, T-shirts, statues, books, ....).
When I'm able to, I like to play World of Warcraft, and I have two main characters on Ysera: a night elf druid and a gnome warlock, and two main characters on Arygos: a blood elf mage and a blood elf rogue; I've been playing for almost 4 years now, and I'm well beyond the total n00b stage.
Even though my favorite kind of music is classic rock and oldies, my favorite band ever was Eiffel 65, but now two of them have started a new band called Bloom 06, and so far I like what I'm hearing. I also like to think of myself as a bit of an armchair philosopher, and enjoy thinking of why things are, how I see them, and how they could be (really helps in the writing department).
I also like to read about people whose views differ from my own, because reading only about people who are like me gets boring and tedious after a while, and also because I try to make my characters in my stories have as diverse personalities from each other as possible - part of that means trying to understand how people with differing views from mine think.
