Hello again! I'm assuming you're here because you want to know more about me. Well, beyond what you read on the first page, what do you want to know? I'm 23, I live in Ontario, Canada, and I work part-time as a cashier, and also as a book keeping clerk. I've recently started a class at the local college, yay math... This is what I get for not taking grade 12 math, but I'm working on it now, and not having too much trouble. I'm planning on applying for the winter term (Jan 04) for Business at Conestoga College in Kitchener. I love the Arts, especially English Literature and Performing Arts, but I want to be able to get a job, hence the Business end of things.
Why English Lit? Well, first of all, no, I do not want to be a teacher. I'd have far too much sympathy for the students to ever assign homework, and I'd never get anything marked! Two in the family are more than enough, especially since it's my brother and his wife. I want to write novels. In fact I've already started. I'm not putting anything about my novel on here though. Not yet, 'cause I don't have anything copyrighted. Once that happens, I'll have bits and pieces on here. :)
As for the performing arts part, I sing, act, and know how to work all sorts of backstage gear. I used to play alto saxophone fairly well, but that was only two years of high school music classes, and that was 5 years ago. So, anyone want to buy me an alto saxophone? It's only a couple grand Canadian...
Well, let's see... I vanished last summer. It was absolutely fantastic, I've never had so much fun in my life. The most interesting part was that I've never travelled on my own before.
For anyone who wants to travel in Canada, but can't figure out where exactly they want to go, or how they'll get there, check out www.moosenetwork.com
Moose network was fantastic! It's a hop-on-hop-off bus system, so you pay the one fee to jump onto the bus, and you can ride around Ontario and Québec in the East or Alberta and BC in the West. I'd never seen the west coast, and the last time I was in Québec I was about 5, so I had a great time. Went white water rafting, caving, canoeing, sea kayaking, hiking, 4-wheeling, plus the general sight seeing. Staying in the hostels was a new experience too, but it was a lot of fun, and most of them weren't too grubby. I should probably set up another page so I can rant about my summer freely, and I REALLY have to get my pictures online. Once I get my scanner working reliably of course. :s Ah well, such is the price of technology.
I listen to almost all kinds of music, though I don't count rap or dance and such as music. I'm an avid fan of Metallica, love Moist, Great Big Sea, Loreena McKennitt, Mozart, Sarah MacLachlan, Puncture Vine, Glenn Miller, Phil Collins, Billy Joel... My other favorite artist is Tori Amos. Anyone who's heard me sing Leather will understand that! ;) And a recent addition to the list of faves is Evanescence. I sincerely advise any Tori fans out there to check them out! Basically I'll listen to anything that isn't "yo yo yo whassup?" ;)
I love to read, especially fantasy novels. My fave authors are Anne McCaffrey, Guy Gavriel Kay, David Eddings, Katherine Kurtz, Jack Whyte, Sara Douglass, Paul Kierney, David Drake, Tanya Huff, etc etc etc. I read a lot. Could you tell?
For those wondering about the bees, my last name is Hungarian for beekeeper. My mom collects bee jewellery, and I collect pics.
