I have glasses and a Yuna haircut now.

   First of all, I have been coming to this website for the past few years -- reading the news, checking out the screenshots, and downloading MIDIs. I would have never imagined that I would someday be a part of the RPGamer team. After submitting an application and enduring a grueling interview with Andrew Long, I was accepted and painfully initiated into this close-knit circle. After serving in News for a few years, mostly as the department head, I've now transferred to Interaction as a reviewer.

   I am a college graduate with a Bachelor of Humanities, which is the end result of four years of studying History, Literature, Theology, and Sociology. In May 2005, I completed graduate school at Oklahoma State University and received a Master of Arts in History. Currently, I'm an intern for the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma, and I'm also doing volunteer work for the Oklahoma History Center. I am married to a really wonderful man, and we are very happy together (aww...). My husband graciously and patiently puts up with my stubborn and argumentative tendencies, and I tolerate his one-track mind and occasional messiness. We get along beautifully.

   As a very opinionated person, I think for myself and I stand up for what I believe. Among my family, I am the one most likely to say something at the Thanksgiving dinner table that would cause the clatter of silverware followed by silence. I love a spirited debate, but I know my limits. I can be quite talkative, especially when it comes to RPGs.
