I love music--Gothic/Industrial/Dark wave/metal and more. I have six black cats, yes, six. They're just like gremlins--you spill water on them and they multiply. I'm a total music and movie addict.

Awwww shucks! What I think about myself is probably going to be a far cry from what you or people I know think of me. I'd like to think that the whole kindhearted, friendly, caring facade is working pretty well to cover the dark and deeply sinister creature that lurks within (muhaahaahaha). Gimme a holla and decide for yourself.;.

- Teresa
Smiley and sarcastic, outspoken, a bit silly, and plenty dorky. I nerd out sometimes whether talking about fish, shoes, politics, music or surfing. And I have opinions on them all. Loving what I do is more important than making money (hence starting a non-profit), and enjoying my life is hinged I knowing I'm doing something worth while. And I always try to practice what I preach.
