I live. I breathe. I work a 9-5. I'm Asatru (feel free to ask if you are saying "WTF is that?" to yourself). I have two furry children named Meowzer and Jango (yes, after the bounty hunter). I'm a huge geek. I get excited about table-top rpgs. I like *good* fantasy literature (none of that paint-by-numbers crap like Eragon). I like to think I walk the line in between normal and odd. Must be the clash of the two sides of my family: crazy and overly rational. I'm at that time in my life where sometimes I'm a stodgy adult and other times a mischievous child. I like to believe when I finally look grown up, I won't have to act serious all the time.

I think my favorite redhead moment was the first year I attended the Pennsic War in Western PA (an SCA event, renaissance/medieval re-enactment). We had a gentleman visit our camp and remark on how much he loved to stop by because all the ladies had such beautiful red hair. Strangely we hadn't noticed that all but one of the women in camp had various shades of red hair or red highlighted hair. At that moment, we knew we could rule the world....well at least at Pennsic. Free alcohol was in our grasp!
