Now about me....well, I'm 27, a teacher of sorts from Florida. I like a great many things and really enjoy being outside hiking, canoeing, letterboxing. I also like collecting pressed pennies whenever I go somewhere, or have family and friends collect some on their journeys. And I also like collecting coins from foreign countries. I find the different currencies really interesting. :) I like the colors blue and green; and I enjoy bowling, and drawing. I have several different favorite animals but the top ones would have to be Horses (Friesians especially), Mammoths, Okapis, Manatees, and Turtles. I also enjoy the magical side of life.

I enjoy a great variety of music, pretty much whatever catches my ear. I like the 50s, 60s, early 70s, some 80s and 90s. I also like Irish music and enjoy the group Celtic Woman. Though I have to say that my favorite band would have to be the "Empty Hats," and some of my favorite songs would be "Greensleeves," "Galway Girl," "Lovers Concerto" by The Toys, "Smile" as sung by Robert Downey Jr., "Somebody to Love" by Queen, "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking"-as sung by Bing Crosby, "Mr. Bassman" by Johnny Cymbal, "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, "Oh Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble" by Mac Davis, and "Junk Food Junkie" by Larry Groce.

There are many different books that I like, and they tend to be in series. J.K. Rowling's the Harry Potter Books, Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, Ellen Dugan books, the Twilight series, and Jean Auel's Earth Children's series. I also have quite a large collection of books contain stories of local hauntings, and from one of my favorite cities, St. Augustine. I also have many different animals books which make for good reference, not just for facts but picture reference in the study of drawing animals.

I have too many movies to name that are favorites and again they are many different types. But I will name some of the top ones. The Back to the Future series, The Harry Potter movies, Vibes (one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, love it!), Charlie Chaplin movies (especially 'Behind the Screen', 'The New Janitor' & 'The Kid'), Chaplin, E.T., Enchanted (Love this movie and all the details in it!), Practical Magic, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, The Indiana Jones series, Animated Disney and Pixar movies(absolutely adore WALL-E), the Ice Age series (one word: Mammoths, 'nuff said), the Lethal Weapon series, The Tenth Kingdom (technically a TV mini series, but still a movie, Love that Wolf!), Young Frankenstein, The Princess Bride, The Goonies, Date with an Angel, Mixed Nuts, Splash, Sense and Sensibility (with Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant) and Just Like Heaven.

Here are the shows that I like or liked watching. Xena: The Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, The Pretender, Quantum Leap, The Dresden Files, Danny Phantom, Gargoyles, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Eli Stone, Castle, Moonlight, The Listener, The X-Files, Bones, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Charmed, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs (Mike Rowe in jeans...mmm), Prehistoric Park, Blackadder (especially the second season), Survivorman (Les Stroud the Real survivorman), Paranormal State, A Haunting, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International.

I think I'm pretty crafty, in that I like to keep busy. I like making things and putting things together. In other words a total puzzle nut, love 'em. I also really enjoy drawing, especially animals and try to find excuses to draw them.
I enjoy trying my hands at different mediums and seeing what works like watercolor (not bad at that), but I always tend to drift back to my pencils, be it colored or my trusty graphite mechanical pencil.
