7.22.12 MY CURRENT MISSION IS TO FIND DRAGON SOUL MINTS FOR MY HUSBAND FOR HIS BIRTHDAY. CANNOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. IF ANYONE CAN FIND THEM PLS CONTACT ME. I WILL PAY FOR THEM AND SHIPPING.

When you are sending a tag please please when you put the name of the tag please include which group it is from. Some of the groups I'm in have similar tags and I have hard time figuring out which group to post my thanks.

I was born and lived in Germany until I was 12. Grew up as an Army Brat. Now I live in Columbus, GA USA. I married my high school sweetheart Scott in 2005. We've been together since 1998.
My son Blade just turned 6 Sept 2011. He is so silly. He makes me laugh on a daily basis.

I have been working at my current job for 9 years.

There's not much that offends me, and I have a bit of an odd sense of humor. If you have something that might be considered an off color joke or a bit deranged, that you wanna share don't hesitate to send my way.

I find tattoos and guns sexy. I believe in Karma. But I also believe that sometimes things just happen.

July 9th. 2012 I'm so excited because we just bought a brand new car. It has been a long time waiting. We just finished up our bankruptcy and have been stringing along the cars we've both had for almost 10 years now needing major repairs.

I am very open about discussing our bankruptcy and financial situation we found ourselves in, so if you are considering it or have questions about my experience please feel free to ask away. For us it was the right decision and the best thing we could have done for our marriage.

I have been playing with polymer clay for a while and I love it, and learning new techniques. This is my favorite craft. Still very amateur with this. I was introduced to card making, which I don't do much now, but has led into other paper crafts and altered work, very new to this.
I enjoy making and collecting ATCs, inchies, APCs, Matchboxes. I love handmade items made by others. I like to see what other people do.

I'm still trying to find my specific style. I like things with a darker look, grungy, distressed, steampunkish, but seeing it and doing it are two very different things.

I AM VERY OPEN TO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, VERY NEW TO CRAFTING SO ANY ADVICE IS ALWAYS WELCOME AND ASKED FOR.

Some of my favorite TV shows are Dexter, SVU, Fringe, House, Penn and Teller's Bull Sh*t, 1000 Ways to Die, Phineas and Ferb (yes I know its a kid's show) Sons of Anarchy. Love it.

Really I like anything except for Rap. 3 Doors Down, Stabbing Westward, Gary Allen, Hinder, Miranda Lambert, Hoobastank, Pink, Garbage, Metallica. Greenday, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, Lifehouse are some of my favorites.

I love Johnny Depp. He's the hottest man alive.

Tim Burton movies.

Some of my favorite movies are Count of Monte Cristo, Constantine, The Crow, CandyMan, Wish Master, The Notebook, The Hangover, Step Brothers. A Knight's Tale. Robin Hood (the one with Kevin Costner) Event Horizon, Legion, Shutter Island.

Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Ann Rice.. The Moon Trilogy by C.L Bevill. The Vampire from Hell series by Ally Thomas. My husband surprised me with a Nook. I've never been much of a reader until I got it.
