I hate writing these damn 'about me' pages, they end up sounding either really narcisistic or really phony, like some publicist wrote them. So if you really want to know about me, you should probably just read my LiveJournal or my FaceBook pages. The LJ has my ramblings, and the Facebook page has plugins that display all my favorite music and books and whatnot.
If you'd like to see some photos of me, I have them here: Photos! (however, I lost most of them during a homepage meltdown and I haven't bothered re-uploading them.... but some are there)
If you want to know what music I'm listening to right now, well, this will tell you:

Favourite Musicians: I started typing them out here, but it was getting long. Lets just say my tastes are varied, I like many different types of music from classical to metal, but not country. Hate country. Passionately. And I tend to stay away from hip-hop, rap and the top 10 lists, usually too vanilla for my tastes. Just check out this listif you have Facebook
Favorite Games: City of Heroes/Villains, Civilization, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, The Witcher, Sam and Max games, Caesar, Pharaoh, Zeus, Emperor, Childen of the Nile, and when I'm out for some nostalgia, classic old adventure games, in particular Monkey Island, Quest for Glory and Space Quest. Very much looking forward to Spore and Fallout 3.
And I have a sister named Lisa, a really cool Devon Rex cat named Marley, am a big Nightcrawler fan, (even though I haven't read the X-Men comics for a couple years) and I collect all things dragon-y. Right, that will do for now.
