MEMBER SINCE: March 2012

occupation: All over the place, but mainly programming (code monkey) and lots of web development (mainly the backend works of interacting w/ databases). I like building things even if they are only virtual.

fantasy: Not being me.

sign: Ummm...The cross walk one near me that I placed two googly e

i lost my virginity: Before I knew it. To a very aggressive gal. Really not a fond moment.

heroes: Anyone who is brave enough and strong enough to live as themselves and not conform to their surrounding majority population. Wish I was that strong and brave.

makes me sad: Injustice, human trafficking, abused and neglected children (have been a CASA volunteer and know tales of kids that scar my heart and soul).

makes me happy: Yotsuba!, The wonderfully diverse beauty on SG, my favorite bar, a good book that moves me or teaches me something new or makes me consider a new idea. Also, finding a great anime series, a surprising sunny day in PDX outside of summer, a Cheshire Cat Moon, all things Alice (I use Dormouse as a frequent online handle).

most humbling moment: Ugh! So many. At least I've gotten brave enough to be upfront and admit when I've messed up and/or been wrong. Also have learned that there is strength in a sincere apology. Not weakness.

into: Anime, SF/Fantasy novels, Science, History, Tech., coding, web development, Current Affairs (as bloody sad & depressing as they are), tattoos (I have no ink - yet-, but I know wonderful art when I see it!), my new city of PDX (Portland, OR, USA). Been here less than a year now and constantly finding more reasons to love it. Oh, and totally into Yotsuba (my avatar), an issue of her manga brightens my darkest of days!
