Anyway, here's some info on me:
Name: Karen
Sex: Female (in case the "Girl" in "Sunset Girl" wasn't a dead give-away!)
Age: 29
Birthday: 2/16/76
Born and raised in: Seneca, IL
Currently in: Beloit, WI
Heritage: English, Irish, German, and Native American
Height: 5'8"
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Extremely pale; I stay away from the sun since I burn so easily!
Religion: Nothing organized, but I believe in God
Sexual Orientation: in a committed relationship with a man, but who knows
Personality: Shy, laid-back, easy-going
Hobbies: Drawing, painting, any type of artsy stuff
Occupation: Child care
Stuff I llike: Fine art, life drawing, cartooning, animation, my cartoon characters, Disney (duh!), W.i.t.c.h., most shoujo anime (like Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Chobits, Magic User's Club), Back to the Future trilogy, self aware female heroines, decorating, shopping, candles, poetry, cool retro stuff, music. . .
. . . just about all kinds of music, actually. I grew up with everything from oldies (fifties!) to eighties heavy metal, and aquired a taste for everything inbetween. I like a lot of modern stuff, too. I like pop, but I think it tends to take itself too seriously. Let's see. . . among my favorites are Alanis Morissette (old school), Tori Amos, Charlotte Martin, Ani Difranco, Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms, Nickelback, and more. I also have a strong affection for Japanese pop.
I'm on the verge of converting back over to being a vegetarian again (mostly for health reasons). I have a lot of weight to lose, and I've been doing pretty good with that lately. I work for the YMCA and thus have a free membership, yay! I'm about to take up swimming again, my favorite sport.
My mother always said I was born with a pencil in my hand since I could draw before I could talk. I got a scholarship for art college way back in the day, but life sort of got in the way of my dream to get into the animation biz. Right now I'm content with my job working with children and spending time with my fiance. I do want to start a family someday soon.
I've been a life-long Disney and animation fan. I just can't get enough.
Well, I guess that's all you needed to know and then some!
