Addicted to both Photoshop and photography. Unofficial title of 'Goddess of Graphics' has been bestowed upon me. :D Crazy about history, antiques, castles and old houses/architecture. Period clothing whore, not that I own any, I just drool over it in movies and such. Love to shop, and am known as 'The Bargain Queen'. Bookworm from a very early age. Adore going out to eat and a good glass of wine. Am a hopeless romantic. Love cats, cooking, gardening, nature and watching the birds (not necessarily in that order ;) I'm a bit of a geek and can be shy until you get to know me. Very loyal once you do.
If you're here for my infamous rec lists or fanart, my journal is now f-locked due to personal reasons. If you would like me to friend you, you must leave a comment in this post, so that I can get to know you first.

dislikes
Telemarketers, most sports, stupid and lazy people, people who drive too slow in the passing lane and won't get over (I mean that's what it's for ... passing!), having to work on Saturday, rap music, rudeness, and someone telling you they are going to do something and then they don't.
my goals in life
To always do the best that I can at anything that I set out to do. To be more tolerant of stupid and lazy people (still working on this *grin*). To never stop learning. To do unto others as I would have them do to me and in my own small way try to make the world a better place.
