Caranam

I am a very strange and rather geeky person. I love laughter and conversation above all else. I would love to spend my time reading, gaming and then more reading. I tend to live in a world of fantasy that may or may not coincide with what I feel the real one is. Despite whatever problems or complications arise, I continue to love my life.

On a more practical note I am a Presbyterian minister married to an atheist and living next to a beach. We have dogs, not kids and are very happy with that fact. None of these things were what I expected, but I'm pretty happy with how it worked out.

what I pledged

I read enough that picking favorite books is impossible. Basically good fantasy or humor is bound to get my attention.

Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett, Anne Lammott, Anne Bishop, Emma Bull, Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen, Jim Butcher

I really like trying new things (partially because I have a short attention span.

Right now my crafts of choice are:

• Photography
• Altered objects
• Atcs
• Sewing
• Baking
• Painting
• Pottery
• And most recently zines

Dylan: My beloved "Dr. Seuss" dog. He's part dachshund and part fox we think.

Conall: My husband's Siberian Husky. For some reason he is developing a pink stripe on his nose for the winter.

Luna: My five year old English Spot. She thinks she's a princess and I was put on earth to serve her.

Gizmo: He thinks very handsome and loves to steal food and hop around in circles with it while Luna chases him. At the end of the day though, you can always find the two of them cuddling together.
