Freebie: I own cat, similar to the one in my avatar except he's black and white.

1. I grew up with horses. I was actually reserve national champion for 1986 (I think) for lead-line. I had horses until get got too expensive for me to keep on a students salary. I sometimes miss riding a lot, there's something to be said for the feel of a 1200 pound animal running full out at your control.

2. I have huge self esteem issues... which you all seem to have no problems helping me dig out of.

3. I'm a huge flirt, but I'm a completely faithful person.

5. I'm a HUGE mess. I'd love to be one of those really organized people but the effort it takes for me to maintain that when I'm in the middle of a project is insane. So while I'm working my office is a disaster area, once it's finished I clean like nobody's business. The rest of our house is mostly immaculate, just not my office.

11. Leaving art school was the worst decision I ever made. Well maybe letting my mom talk me out of going back may be worse. The thought of my being a computer animator rips my heart out and as much as I love those movies they make me cry because as far as I'm concerned I should be working for Pixar.

12. I don't study. I can't do it, probably the ADD, but I have no problems passing classes as long as I'm in a class room. On-line courses are the bane of my existence.

15. My office is my sanctuary. It's full of all the things I love, all the bits of my past that make me who I am and the only place I feel safe when I get depressed. I can't look anywhere in there and not see something that brings back a good memory.
