| Bio: | My interests range as wildly as my moods so how on earth to create a biographical note that is good from one day to the next. As for how I got here - well, it was the usual story. Fell into circle of fandom known as FK some years back and somehow, someway, we all seem to be making our way here. Want to know more? I can't think why but OK Born in New York and live there now but in between I spent some formative years in Baton Rouge and then managed to grow up in Houston. Don't recall much about Louisiana beyond a Mardi Gras parade and Hurricane Camille. What can I say? I was small. I don't know that I would have chosen Houston had anyone asked me at the time, but since, as I say, I was very little, no one did. I'd gotten used to my parents by then, so when they announced that they were moving to Houston, I decided that it would be a real shame to have to train some new ones and I went along. I could not persuade them to leave my younger brother behind (though I tried to point out the increased amount of space we would have in the car without him and/or his things) but to no avail. So off we went to the Lone Star State, Mom Dad, me, my brother and the dog. Once ensconced in our new digs in Houston, Mom set about finding a way to get me out of the house on a daily basis. Since I was all of five, sending me out to get a job was not an option. Montessori school however, was. Don't worry, this is not a history of my life from Montessori school to now. You had your own angst ridden childhoods, you don't need mine. Houston was not a bad place to grow up but neither was it the most thrilling. This said, it came as a surprise to almost no one that I went out of state to college. College: in the four years I was there, I came to realize that I would never fully appreciate the open air institution that is SLC. While I had the basic black wardrobe, I did not have a "cause" or the emotionally damaged background. In real life, I've worked in publishing, web development and ended up (via a stint in telecommunications - good gads what a cesspool that industry is!) tangentially back in publishing working as an indexer. Indexer, i hear you ask? Yes, the person who makes that list in the back of the books. No, a computer doesn't do that. I do. And yes, I have to read the books to do it. Yes, bow down before me and my brilliance. I have found a way to get paid to read. Oh and because there are only so many indexes and a girl cannot live by indexing alone, I am also a freelance writer. Let's put the 'personal' in Personal Ephemera: A while back, there was an email Ultimate Survey making the rounds. I've adapted here since I thought it would give a more detailed look at who I am.
