| Bio: | * It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt - Citizenship in a Republic — a speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, 1910-04-23
"It is better to light a candle than to curse in darkness." ~ Chinese proverb
"I'd be a Buddhist if I weren't so frigging mad all the time." ~ Me
Sometimes my posts are insightful and sometimes they're just fluff. I make some people laugh and some people think and some people angry. I am happy to take credit for doing all three.
I want to know your story! I want to read anything you have to say, no matter what you post. I love to read about other people's lives, whether you got up and had a taco today or are working on a federally-funded program to create an oceanic map of the underside of glaciers, I want to know about it!
In 2006 I sat on the Otronicon 'Girls in Gaming' Discussion Panel. I was proud to do it and got to meet some very interesting people. I haven't been as hardcore into the games as I used to be but still regularly enjoy console gaming.
I lift weights, paint, write, read, watch, and observe.
When I'm being productive, I make and sell things on my etsy page, Klockwerk Haus . It isn't updated very regularly!
I am a frustrated writer, trying to finish one of the many novels that spring to my head and then take years to complete the birthing process. Like Kafka, who was described as 'the unicorn in the forest of modern literature,' I don't fit in anywhere. And proud of it.
I played the violin for 7 years in school. I still dabble now and then.
