About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation Graphic-Designer for teaching aids
Introduction I'm a young mother to an awe-inspiring little girl and boy and wife to a man that sometimes seems like he stepped out of a fairy tale...(do human beings this innately good still exist? Are those wings sprouting from his back?!)I write horror fiction, do (horror?)art, substitute teach and homeschool.
Interests My husband and growing family, the arts-specifically writing and illustration, video games, the environment, animals, and breastfeeding, and homeschooling. I love tribal societies like the Yenke and Hmong. I hope that eventually the needs of all human beings will be addressed-especially those who have been long ignored or pushed aside. Here's hoping. Unicef is our FAVORITE charity. www.unicef.org Second is the wolf foundation. www.wolf.org
Favorite Movies Avatar, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, okay all of Hayao Miyazaki's works- The Crow, Wolf's Rain series, What Dreams May Come, and we've never seen an Independant Lens program we weren't enthralled with.
Favorite Music Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, Yoko Kanno, Puscifer (or any of the 100 bands James Maynard Keening has now...) Genghis Tron, The Cure, Death Cab for Cutie, and the Wiggles
Favorite Books Dune. All of them. Really. The Writer's Journey I & II, Shanghai Girls, Women who run with the Wolves, ANYTHING DR. SeuSS, Resident Evil Series by S.D. Perry, The Zombie Survival Guide, All of H.P. Lovecraft's works, and Tales of the Grotesque by J.C. Oates

Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:

I've actually gotten to the point in my culinary life that I can DO this using a peeler, you just wind it 'round without breaking the line of skin you've just taken off...I can not do this without nicking myself and getting blood on the damned apple though...
