Staff Duties & Contribution : Graphics Designer
Hobbies : I consider doing graphics my hobby, my job and my passion. I really enjoy making images for people, and it feels great to provide someone with a reality of what they envisioned. Play some guitar and "try" to sing, lol, and I'm a true-crime fanatic... books, movies, television shows, etc... You can catch me watching Court TV's forensic file/crime shows any night of the week. I play guitar ... or try to... lol... like to write songs, short stories (mostly erotic), and play vid/computer games too.
Films : Yes I know this site is all about Friday the 13th, lol..... however, I'm not a fan of horror. I hide behind my pillows or blankets, and am pretty "girlie" about the whole horror movie thing. lol My personal favorite type of films are those stupid comedies such as Caddyshack's, Loaded Weapon, Naked Guns, etc...
Music: I'm pretty much a rock/metal chick.... not much from the late 90's and even less from the 2000's. I'm mostly a 70's, 80's and early 90's kind of chick. I miss the metal bands, and even some of the hair bands, the days of leather, spandex and spiked bracelets, chokers, belts, etc... and I especially miss the classic bands like The Who, Cream, Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc... There will never be another era of awesome music like that again. I'm glad I was born when I was, or else I might never have known what MOST of today's music is lacking. But I listen to pretty much everything EXCEPT rap/hip-hop... sry to those fans and no offense meant, but... every song sounds pretty much the same to me. lol
Bio: I was born & raised on Staten Island, NY (yes it's really an island lol). I get asked that a lot. I was born in 1972. I'm the mother of none, the wife of no one, and the ex-wife of no one as well. I've refused to "settle" for anything less than I deserve. I'm a huge kid at heart and love to laugh at everything possible, including myself. I figure if I can laugh at others, then I should be able to laugh at myself as well to balance it off. lol
Current Sitch: I'm tryin' to get my graphics "business" off the ground. I was recently contacted by Alex to work on some ideas he had for this site and I found myself caring about this site as if it was my own. I'm glad he thought of me. I've had a blast with him and this project. He's great to work with and for. I couldn't ask for a better opportunity or a better person to work with, and I'd like to take this time to say thank you.
