I aspire to... be more evil than Sage, someday see Europe and visit Canada for a period longer than an hour, gain the power of flight, possess my own cartoon style "space behind my back from which I can pull anything", finish writing a lengthy fanfic in less than six months, learn or acquire whatever secret ability it is that allows Inuyasha to keep his no less than three feet of white hair perpetually clean and shiny even when he's lying in a puddle of his own blood, live out my childhood dream of visiting Chincoteague Island on Pony Penning Day.

I possess the uncanny ability to... cause computers to crash merely by entering the same room, trip over things that are not there, read Sage's mind (she frequently returns the favor), remember random and inane details from movies.

A Few Things About Me People are Always Asking:

Do you like Metallica?

     I have no idea where this one keeps coming from! Heh, when being a Katsfan came to mean you were a rock fan, I don't know. The Kats taught me to enjoy Techno, which I find good to listen to when writing SWAT Kats fanfic and my brother's eclectic tastes have begun to rub off on me... I'll listen to Techno, Electronica, Rave, Soft Rock/Pop, Metal (but only for SWAT Kat fanfic inspiration, I don't find it... Well, it just doesn't give me that thrill I get from my kind of music ), Ska, and Punk. And, it's all Seeker's fault! I like Geoff Moore and the Distance, Acapella, Micheal W. Smith, Ray Boltz, Five Iron Frenzy, The W's, The Echoing Green, and Philmore (Yes, they're all Contemporary Christian in some way, manner, or form.)
But, only a 90-piece orchestra can really rock my world! I absolutely love soundtracks by John Williams, James Horner, Bruce Broughton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Micheal Kamen.

What Video Games Do You Play?

     Pretty much... None. Once in a blue moon, Seeker brings over something like "Inuyasha: Ougi-Ranbu" or Wii sports and drags me into playing a little. A little more often, he drags his DDR pad over and forces me to make a fool of myself. But, the only games I ever considered myself any good at were Centipede and River Raid.... for the Atari. Yeah, those were the good ol' days. None of that joypad with too many buttons nonsense they use now. I can't even figure out to make characters move with those blasted things. (Though I somehow discovered some special move in "Ougi-Ranbu" to get Kagura to back Sesshoumaru in a fight; beats me how I did it though.) Gimme back my simple stick and one fire button!

Questions about my art?  I have a FAQ!

How'd I get into the SWAT Kats and do I have a favorite?  Got that too!

Sites I Post Art To:
deviantART - Most frequently updated.
Side 7 - Also frequently updated, usually simultaneously with DA if it's a finished piece.
Fanart Central - Rarely update this one.
A number of personal pages also have collections of my work used with my permission. If you see some of my images on another site and feel they might have been stolen, please contact me before you take any other action. Not only do a number of people host copies of my work with my full permission, as a general rule, I do not mind finding my art in collections of "Cool stuff I found on the internet!". I would, however, like to be informed when someone else is claiming my work as their own and/or if someone is selling my work. I do not sell my fanart. If you see my work on Ebay or anywhere else for sale, please tell me.

Quotes and Memorable Lines - My infamous quotes of the year. (At least, they're infamous where Sage and I are concerned.)

Recommended Reading - A listing of and reviews on some good fanfics I've read. Now includes Inuyasha and Rurouni Kenshin as well as SWAT Kat recommendations, and I'll probably add some others as I get a moment and feel inspired.
