Short Biography

I'm an only child, who grew up watching anime with my dad. :) I have an adorable Sheltie, named Hope. My mom died on July 4, 2009. She was my best friend and there will be a massive hole in my heart and life now that she is gone. I'm a teacher (2nd grade! :)). I have my Masters Degree in Childhood Education.

I have an unhealthy obsession with books and dvds. Besides my obvious love of anime and manga (especially shoujo and yaoi), I'm especially fond of Romance novels (especially paranormal and historical), Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror books/movies.

Online, when not at TAFL, you can find me tinkering with my other websites, frequenting LiveJournal, playing games on facebook (zomg so addictive) or chatting with friends.
