Unknown fact about me: I, um... don't have anything popping into my head! We'll come back to this. :p
...Okay, most people expect that in college I was either in an English or photography program. I always thought I'd go into graphic arts, but when the opportunity came for me to go back to school I landed in the LIT program. (Library Information Technician. Not MLS - I didn't want to be a librarian, just a tech.) My favorite aspect was doing the coding for the computer cataloging system. I've always loved libraries - they're quiet, full of info on anything you can possibly be interested in, there are billions of books to devour and people to interact with if you so choose. It was all about organization & helping people. Perfection. :) Oh, and comfy little spots to enjoy all of the above. :) Yeah.
I didn't get to finish though. I landed here instead.
Very interested in: Photography.
Want to do this before I die: Feel like I'm a person my kiddos can be proud of. Take more control of my life, get my American citizenship. See some places. Do some things. :p
eXtra-special friends get to witness my: dorky side?! unconditional love! totally sarcastic sense of humor?! My yummy, gooey, sticky rice crispy squares. :)
You'll love my: kiddos! and, um, see above? :p
Zap that ____ before I scream!: Spider! Ick.
