*Shakes head relutantly and stares hard at Tsel* Great going Tsel. You would
have to start a tread like this. Someone must be fishing for information about
me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK, guys, since some of you seem to be so curious about me, here is just a
little info to either curb your curosity or make you wonder even more.

I live in the U.S. on the east coast, so yes I am one of those crazy Americans
that you have all heard about. I am married to the most wonderful guy in the
world and we have two precious little girls (at least to us they are precious).
I also have two little dogs a pekingese and a yorkie. I love my family and I am
very thankful to God for giving them to me. I wouldn't trade them for all the
money in the world.

I grew up as an only child, went to a private girl's school (because that is
where my mom wanted me to go). When I gratuated from high school, I knew where
I wanted to go to college and went there even though my mom wanted me to stay
home and go to college in that area. I did the right thing. Why? because that is
where I met this fantastic guy and made a decision I will never regret. I
decided to marry him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This is only the second forum I have ever been a part of. My first experience
with a forum was on Bioware's NWN forum. I used the name Ashnara there because
it was the name of the avatar I used when some friends and I played NWN, SOU,
and Hordes multiplayer. And yes we did play Hordes multiplayer. It wasn't the
easiest thing to do, but we managed it and had a great time. Now I've got people
around here who call me Ash, so far no one has picked up on the Shan thing.
Maybe because they are use to Ash or who knows.

As for job, it is computer relatated. I love what I do but I just don't like
talking to people about it. I hate Windows and refuse to use it unless I have
to. Gaming and the graphic programs that I love force me to use it more than I
like. I love Linux, open source, and free software. Now that is all on
computers, Linux and Windows. No more talk on this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Really there isn't that much to tell about me. I am a family person. I love
doing things with my family and our friends. Winter is our favorite time of
year. We love hiking, skiing and just playing in the snow. I love classical,
celtic, and music for my girls. We love folktales, legends, myths, ghost
stories, stuff about the solar system, egyptian stuff, old buildings, ancient
castles and abbeys, ancient mysteries of the world, and tons of other stuff. We
love museums and have a great time when we take the girls along. We love all
kinds of art and recently I have just started trying to learn how to draw and
having alot of fun with it. I got Corel Painter for Christmas and I want to
learn how to drawn and paint with it. I love fantasy art especially the elves,
unicorns, and wizards. Also just recently I have gotten interested in anime/
manga art and am trying my hand at drawing some of the charcter heads. I have
had a lot of fun with it and so have my girls. My oldest loves to draw and tries
her hand at drawing whatever I am working on. She's not bad either and she
finishes hers a long time before I finish mine.

Guess that is about all the useless stuff I can think of to tell you about
myself. And like Alrik said, I believe there are things that I should be
allowed to keep private. So know I don't tell all. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
