: About Me

My profession is something I fell into by luck of the draw. I work for a Title and Escrow company's IT Department. What started as a "I just need a job for awhile" turned into a career as I moved from one area into the department that I am in now and into a position (Help Desk and Testing) that I currently hold.

I am a rare person in that I can truly say that I enjoy my job.

And I also enjoy writing. I joined Helium back in 2007 to improve my writing and learn about new things by contributing articles now and again. I found Helium to be a rewarding challenge.

I took a hiatus of sorts from Helium when life got busy, but after looking at all the interesting changes of late, I felt it was time to get re-engage with the site again.

My passion is ...

to be a better person.

I know too much about ...

manga and anime.

My parents always told me ...

Don't put that in your mouth because you don't know where its been.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be an archeologist.

My favorite memory ...

is my cousin's wedding. She later got divorced but she and I agree that even if the marriage went belly up, the wedding was loads of fun.

Why I write ...

is because it is alternately challenging and maddening yet soothing.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Janelle Monae's ArchAndroid & reading The Sweetness of Tears by Nafisa Haji.

My first job ...

was as a janitor in a summer work program.

My best moment ...

was giving birth to my son. Seriously. I was awesome at labor and delivery.

My inspiration ...

is constantly changing.
