…you get to hear a little more about me! Lucky you.
I’ve been active in the online world since 2003, when I joined the community at Cryptozoology.com (still active there under the name of Panthera. Wonderful people there, very interesting interactions and debates constantly going on). Between my parents and myself we decided I wouldn’t reveal much about myself over the ‘net, but now that I’m turning 20 (!) on the 10th, they said I could go for it.
I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and have lived here all my life. It’s a wonderful town, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I love it- weird weather, tornados, and all. We have a wonderful zoo, which has given me many great photography opportunities over the years.
I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Technician. With luck I’ll be able to specialize in working with cats, since they’re the species I’ve spent the most time with and understand best.
My mental state could be described as interesting, to say the least. I was born with OCD and Asperger’s syndrome. It hasn’t gotten in the way of things much, but it has made life kind of unusual in some ways. Probably the worst of it is that I never learned how to drive a car. I don’t mix well with big machines or overly complicated technological stuff.
I think a lot of my artistic qualities come from the Asperger’s. It also gave me an obsession with animals, which is probably why I never learned how to draw people outside of the occasional art class. Oh well, I’m trying to teach myself how to draw them now. Don’t ask about how I’m coming along with backgrounds and landscapes.
I’ll be uploading pictures of myself now and then when I can find or make good ones. I’m still not using my real name here, though. Sorry, creepy Internet stalkers.
