I'm... kind of declaring war on my other journals. This is going to be my amnesty journal. My LJ and my IJ are locked down for the most part. This journal is going to be open. Not sure why, but it just feels like the right thing to do. I like the vibes.

So, welcome. Come on in. Check me out. I'm friendly, and I don't bite. A journal can never tell the entire story of a person, but my interests can at least provide a snapshot. Comment, or PM. I'll get back to you... at some point! *g*

I'm a mother of twins, a boy and a girl. Here's their ticker:


I love animals of all kinds, and I have three cats, the sweetest little calico named Cookie, an adorable ginger tabby named Chowder, and Chowder's mommy, a tortie named Camille. And yes, Camille is named after the hurricane. If you know her, it makes sense. And thanks to my kids, I now own budgies again - two of the little guys! I admit it, I missed having birds.

My family has recently become the caretaker of TEN(!) domestic rabbits, one male and nine females, who have the run of the house. Gromit is the male, a Dwarf Hotot mix, and has quite the personality. Bella is a solid grey American. She is very sweet and placid, compared to Gromit's more adventurous nature. She's also about twice his size, at 5.5 lbs compared to Gromit's 2.5 pounds. Popcorn is a white and black Mini-Rex, sort of high-strung and very active, but very affectionate - her nickname is 'Toelicker' because that seems to be one of her favorite things to do! Mocha is a brown... well, she's big. And creamy brown. She looks just like the Cadbury Bunny, actually. And Pye... Pye is a lynx-marked Netherland Dwarf, who is very shy and very fast! She's not particularly fond of us humans, but we're hoping she'll settle down as she matures. (No such luck!) We got three five-week-old female baby Dutch bunnies on March 10, 2012, and their names are Iris, Orchid, and Lily - our Flower Babies. On Saturday, April 14th, 2012, we adopted Roxie, a Dutch doe, from Pampered Pets Animal Rescue - a great place if you're looking for that special bunny of your own! Finally, to complete the bunny family, we adopted Clover, a grey lop, on April 6, 2013 - also from Pampered Pets. Clover came from a neglect case, so she's happy to get attention and space to roam. Surprisingly enough, they all get along fabulously well - probably because they're all spayed and neutered. I say that we are their caretakers rather than their owners because rabbits, being the curious creatures that they are, don't have owners. They allow us to live here in exchange for taking care of them. And that's how it should be.


We also have two hermit crabs, Tex and Geiger (Pinch died), who are so hideously ugly that they're adorable.

Oh, and I can't stand PETA.


I have a Bachelor's degree in anthropology that I never use, and probably won't ever use, and for the most part I'm okay with that.

I love online roleplaying. I'm not much of a fanfic writer, but I love the collaborative process and the creative energy involved in crafting a story with someone.


I also have on-going love affairs with Volkswagens, classic and progressive rock, music ICON Gary Numan, the New Zealand male model Nick Bryant [if only he knew! =) ] and the television show Knight Rider. I also love too many other television shows to name here, but the highlights are Knight Rider, Supernatural, Grimm, Star Trek in just about any incarnation, and Doctor Who (both old and new). I watch several other shows, but those are the biggies.

Essentially, I am a dork.

The following quote sums me up pretty well, I think:

My Love is Knight Rider
