Since I'm new here I guess some people might want to know a little more about me. So here goes my shameless plug on myself.
I'm a nerd. It's not a derogatory term. Its a badge of honor. Everyone is a nerd in some way or another.
I read alot. Mostly fantasy, sci-fi and some horror. I have aspirations of being an author someday. I've got two books at the editors right now, one is a vampire novel another an adult fantasy re-telling of the 'beauty and the beast' story. Both are young adult and adult. I LOVE fairy tales, especially the ones that haven't been sanitized and dipped in bleach by Disney, meaning the fairy tales that most people have never heard of. ( I LOVE Russian fairy tales illustrated by Bilbin. What an artist! )
I dabble a bit at art. Right now I'm a better writer than artist. When I was a teen I used to draw AND write alot equally. Always loved to draw horses.
I have my own tiny farm so I can now have my childhood dream of owning horses. We have 3 right now, all registered Haflingers, 2 geldings and one pretty decent stallion. ( That's him in my avatar! ) We trail ride, ring joust and do historical re-enactment with them. Hubby does ALOT of re-enactment. I used to ride more but now I have back issues and riding hurts. One day we'll get a harness and cart. The stallion knows how to do the cart thing really well since he spent 10 years before us with the Amish.
( I also have a small collection of snakes.) Nothing huge or venemous. Mostly corns in pretty colors.
And I'm taking dance classes to keep flexible as I age. No, I'm not good yet! At all! But its fun so I'll keep doing it.
