I was born and raised in central California (I'm a desert baby!) until just after my grandmother's death when my family moved to southern California. I lived in Orange County for the years that I consider to be the most meaningful in my life so far, aside from my time spent with my grandmother.

In junior high I had rocks thrown at me by lunatics at my school, after they found out I was a witch. That incident instilled me with a fear of crowds that I still retain. I met my sister, Libi, who is still the best person I've ever met. Oh, I am still a witch, by the way.

When I was eighteen my parents moved our family to northeast Ohio. In Ohio I saw snow for the first time and completely freaked out. Naturally, I thought Ohio was on fire, too. (It's a California thing.) Also, I think anything below sixty degrees requires a down coat. I am gratefully back in California again.

I'm blonde, blue-eyed, and usually shy. As is often the case once you do get me talking it's nearly impossible to shut me up. ;) I love to read and to kill time on the computer. I am an avid Simmer. I am a Sim, 4.0, and I like bike riding and horse riding (except for the sore bottom requirement), and I like getting out of the house. I really like getting out of the house.

When I take out the trash I am on the lookout for mountain lions and cougars. Mind you I live in a very nice, gated apartment community.
