Bio:I grew up in Bethel, Ohio. There are, officially, no "towns" in Ohio, only "cities" and "villages." So I grew up in a village. No thatched-roof cottage, though. The population was under 2,000 people, roughly. Out in the rolling hills and clean air, and all that jazz.

Moved to St. Augustine, Florida after thirteen years in Ohio, and utterly loathed it. Great place to visit, but four years is too long. Human beings were not meant to live in Florida. Swamps, alligators, jumping spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, various diseases...all meant to kill us. The only thing good about Florida for me was the Ocean, the ubiquitous Bob Marley, getting involved in the theatre community, discovering Wicca/Paganism, and meeting my boyfriend.

We both moved to New York in the summer of 2001. Just in time for 9/11. Lucky me. I got to walk home to Queens that day, and again in the "Blackout of 2003." I'm a temp, and have been for two years now. It's ok, since I'm not sure what, exactly, I want to do with me yet. I've pretty much given up acting, as I don't have that single-minded passion to really go somewhere with it. I miss it sometimes, but I've recently taken up writing again, and that's filling the creative void nicely. I'm also involved in the Pagan community up here, and I am neither goth, nor a Klingon, nor do I dress up like Gandalf the Grey and then strut around in public and wonder why those "darn, oppressive Christians," are staring at me. I've heard this makes me "one of the normal ones." Ah, Paganism, the one group of people that makes me look normal by comparison.

So that's me, minus all the family crap you're probably not interested in anyway.
