Surprisingly enough, I'm rather new at exploring this Internet world. I have spent many hours being delighted, surprised, awed and constantly overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude and realization of just how much I haven't really learned in life and knowing that even if I spent all day, every day, browsing through this new Cyberworld, I still would not be able to learn everything that this environment offers.

My birth sign is Aquarius and, if you are not acquainted with the signs and their personalities, that means that I'm playful, creative, very inquisitive, fearcely loyal to my ideas and beliefs, extremely imaginative, love challenges in life, and constantly seek to learn new ideas and experience new things. I delight in passing on whatever knowledge I have to other people (which goes along with my career of instructing), although it sometimes taxes my long patience line rather thin.

My personal philosophy is that I came into this world and began learning as soon as I got here... and I don't intend to stop until I take my last breath in this life. I'm an extreme fatalist when it comes to my perspective of life's little ups and downs. There has been a path laid out for me in this short period of time I am on this earth, and what has happened or will happen was destined in the first place. The people I have met or will meet have come into my life for a reason, whether it is for me to help them in some way or for them to have helped me. Yesterday has already passed, today is being experienced and tomorrow I can do nothing about because it's going to happen anyway.

I have been blessed with being gifted in playing music and being artistic. Counted cross-stitch will always be a passion of mine. Animals of some kind or another, whether parakeets, birds, cats, dogs or guinea pigs have always been around in my life. My best friend as a kid was a yellow tabby alley cat, whom I use to dress up in doll clothes and sit in a high chair (usually very content and sound asleep sitting up). The other being a small dog that use to play "hide-and-go-seek" with me in the yard and loved to climb up into our apricot tree along with me and sit below me on a branch and spit the pit out when finished chewing. I currently have a Shitzu, named Tananda, who is my constant companion. She likes to go camping, boating and for drives in the car. I'm afraid I step on her by accident usually because she's always somewhere close by me.

Dragons, wizards, and fantasy worlds are places I choose to use as places of escape. I've been an addict of the game Wizardry for years and enjoy playing computer adventure/role playing games of any kind. Tilly is a character that was created years ago in a Wizardry computer game. She is a female, half-elf wizard whom I always play in whatever role-playing game I find myself involved with at the moment. Some might say she is my alter-ego.
