Due to circumstances beyond my control, my journal will intermittently flick between friends-only and open posts.


Y'know, I've written so many of these mini-biographies over the years that it's hard to say what's most important anymore. Suffice it to say, I'm heavily involved (at this point) in Native American culture, Celtic studies, and crafts of multiple varieties - specifically fiber arts, and even more specifically knitting. I've been a writer since I was young, and published my first piece when I was 14. And I'm still writing. Amazing how that works...

I'm currently addicted to Geocaching, a sport which is effectively urban treasure hunting with a GPS. Everyone should try this out! The name that our family uses for cache finds (and cache hides) is OCBTracker, should you want to see how we're doing at it. I'm also slowly but surely getting addicted to Markeroni, which is going to various historical locations and taking pictures of the historical plaques there, as well as finding out more about these locations.

I moderate a couple of communities - most notably teafreaks and coffeefreaks, but I co-moderate 100steps as well, since I'm a picture-geek (albeit one who hasn't taken any pictures recently, naughty me!).

What I write in this journal is a mixture of things. I write about my life. I occasionally write about weird news articles or random fluff-stuff. I write about whatever craft I seem to be doing at the moment (and at the time of this particular update to my userinfo, that'd be cross-stitching, but that'll likely change at a moment's notice). I write about my emotions. I write about random Indian stuff. And all of this is written here. If you disagree with it, that's fine, and you're welcome to say so and to have an intelligent debate about it should you so desire -- but I'll tell you right now, I've dealt with too many trolls. If you're going to take offense to my emotions, especially in posts which are specifically /about/ my emotions, then perhaps you'd better consider something before hitting that comment button: emotions are irrational, and sometimes fleeting. Please don't take offense to them. You're welcome to talk about them with me, to discuss rationally how to deal with them, etc., but if your only response is along the lines of the last troll (who basically kept insisting I was a liar and didn't care to actually talk about things rationally), then don't bother posting. Life's too short to have angst in it, and I've had more than my fair share already.


Look, it's a weather pixie! This one's for Ontario Airport - which isn't the closest Weather Pixie for me (the La Verne/Brackett Airport one's closer), but it shows my weathergirl, so I'm keeping it. :) You can get your own weather pixie by going to WeatherPixie.com. :)


Ever wonder what our terrorism alert level is? Ever wondered why it isn't combined with something cutesy, like... oh, the Sesame Street cast? Well, now it is. Enjoy!
