Pets: Flame (cat), Liza (dog)- pictures. Rest in peace, Catfish.
Hometown/Current Residence: St. Louis, Missouri. Thank god, I finally graduated from the University of Missouri- St. Louis (aka UMSL- what a surprise!). Currently I'm trying to make with the "real life." It's going fairly well so far...
Zodiac Sign: Cancer. (Just in case anyone wondered. I always thought it was a cheap pickup line, though.) Oh yeah, and my blood type is B... heh.
My Current Desktop Theme: right now, my desktop looks like this. Yes, that is Yugi and mou hitori no Yugi. (It was a cute picture before I made a crappy wallpaper out of it.) The winamp skin of the week is from here.
Photos: of myself and some of the Suspects are here.

Favorites!
Color(s): blue, green, purple
TV shows: None, right now, although I occasionally watch Smallville because of my embarassing crush on Michael "Sexy Lexy" Rosenbaum. (I still love Farscape, but those bastards at the SciFi Channel killed it just like they did MST3K. Morons!) 
I don't know why, but I watch Yu-Gi-Oh every afternoon when I'm home. Eheh.
I also really miss Space: Above and Beyond, Forever Knight, Gargoyles, the X-Files (when it was still good) and a show probably no one remembers called Prey. *L* Umm... and I probably shouldn't admit this in a public place, but I used to watch that cartoon Mummies Alive. And I liked it. :-Þ
Movies: Spirited Away, Monsters Inc, Lilo & Stitch, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Changeling, Harry Potter (either one), LotR: Fellowship of the Ring/The Two Towers, A Knight's Tale, Willow, Snatch, Contact, Fantasia, Treasure Planet, Much Ado About Nothing(with Kenneth and the leather pants!), Princess Mononoke, the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek 3 and 4, Velvet Goldmine, Labyrinth, Legend, The Princess Bride, The Full Monty, Sleepy Hollow, A Nightmare Before Christmas, The Fisher King, The Sixth Sense, Little Voice, The Frighteners, Empire Records, The Secret of Roan Inish, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon... the list keeps growing.
Books: Anything by Neil (Gaiman, that is). "Neil, Neil, he's our man..." (c'mon Jenny, chant with me!) Anything by Terry Pratchett. Other authors whose name on a book pretty much ensures I'll buy it: James Alan Gardner. Charles de Lint. Diane Duane. Laurell K Hamilton. Jim Butcher. Diana Wynne Jones. And so far, Julie Czerneda, Lynn Flewelling. Of course, there are numerous others, too many to list here.

Manga: Mars, Fake, Yami no Matsuei, Wish, Clover, X/1999. Eagerly awaiting Tokyopop's English publications of Fake (though they better not try to, erm, "straighten it out", not that they really could), Pet Shop of Horrors, Gravitation, and a few others.
Musical: (yes! I like musicals!) Into the Woods. Also Cats, Phantom, Jekyll & Hyde.

Music groups/singers/composers: Loreena, Tori, Evanescence, U2, Gravity Kills, Marvelous 3, the Beatles, the Dropkick Murphys, Me First & the Gimmie Gimmies, Dead Can Dance, Vivaldi, Saint-Saëns... ugh. I could go on. But as it happens, I won't.

Other Stuff (I know, I KNOW I said I was done!)
I never chat anymore, although my friend Lael does keep trying to help me find my way back *grin* I can (sometimes) be found on ICQ and have recently begun updating my blog on a regular basis. Those suckers are addictive!
Other Unfortunate Hobbies: Gaming with the Usuals, reading everything in sight- including fanfic on the 'net (all you prudes best cover your ears-- I am a diehard yaoi fan), talking to Flame ("my" cat, yes, I'm a human servant) and obeying her every whim (*L*), replying to too much email, and updating this site. Ahh, the joys of having no life.
