extended biography.

I was born on January 1, 1984 in a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. My mother's name is Glinda and my father's name is Ron. My parents are divorced and have been since I was around 8 years old. I had a normal childhood and have been lucky enough to have both a mother & a father who care about me very much. I lived in Phoenix until I was about 13. We then moved to Scottsdale and it was a hard transition for me. I had a hard time making friends and felt very out of place.

Highschool in particular was very tough for me. I didn't have a lot of friends and I was pretty much a social "outcast." People made fun of me and said things behind my back. I didn't do well in highschool and I didn't do anything special. Freshman, Sophmore & Junior year I attended Coronado Highschool and my Senior year I left and went to an "alternative" school called Tempe Accelerated. I finished school a few months early because I was determined to get myself through school. I ended up absolutly loving school, even though I didn't make any friends there. I wasn't there to make friends, I was there to graduate. Most of the kids that attended that school were troublemakers that I didn't want to associate myself with, however they were easier to get along with than most of the people I had to deal with at Coronado. I also had so many great teachers that were much better than the ones at Coronado. My favorite subjects in school were Biology & World History. I graduated in June of 2002.

Since graduating, I have had 2 jobs. I got my first job when I was 18 years old as a cashier at Target. During my time there, I made a lot of friends & lost a lot of friends. I dated two of my coworkers, which caused some drama and rumors. Eventually, I grew bored with the job and frustrated with the scheduling and their overworking me. I left Target in March of 2004. That same month I began working at JoAnn ETC, which is a craft & fabric store. I am currently still working there however I am on the lookout for a new (and better) job. My position at the current time is a fabric cutter in the Home Decor department of the store, however I have done and still do just about every position in the store.

In my spare time, I LOVE to go to concerts. I have seen almost all of my top favorite bands in concert, and I feel lucky that none of my favorite bands have ever been disappointing live. I think the best live band I've ever seen is AFI, they are just incredible. The most fun show I have ever been to has to be Panic! at the Disco. They have such energy and presence. I absolutly loved them. I also enjoy going to the movies and watching movies at home. I have a large DVD collection and watch movies every day. My favorite movie is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I also spend a lot of my time watching Jackass & anything related to Jackass such as cKy, Viva La Bam & Wildboyz. I like to spend time with my family & my pets. I also like going out with my friends and shopping.

I also have several hobbies to keep me busy. Graphic/web design is a given. I have been doing web design since I was around 15 years old when I first got a computer. It has always been interesting to me and some day I hope to turn it into a career. I like making cigar box purses & other paper crafts. I really enjoy patterns & colors and putting them together on things. I love to read, some of my favorite books include the Harry Potter series and the MEG series by Steve Alten. I like to play video games as well but only a certain few. I love the Silent Hill series as well as the Resident Evil series. I think the Zelda series are the best video games ever. I also really like to play animal crossing.

I have 3 pets at the moment. I have two ferrets named Draco & Pansy. They were named after characters from Harry Potter. They are adorable and I love them more than any pets I've ever had. I also have a turtle which I have had for almost 13 years now. I would like to get another dog some day as our dog just died not long ago. I would like a small, friendly, cuddly dog.
