MOI: Born on an autumn evening at 7:15pm, 21st March '81 I have since gone through primary and high school, made friends, grown up, started work, left home and got engaged. In between those 21 years are many fun, sad, heartbreaking, embarrassing and happy memories, all of which I will treasure as they have made me who I am today! ( nice bit of philosophical crap huh!).
I live with my fiance, Craig, slightly north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, (AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!) with 1 of my 2 pets. I'm a *mad* animal lover, and if Craig'd let me have my own way, I'd bring home every animal from the pet shops. But... because I CANT, I compensate by impulsively buying stuffed animals and creatures. Anything cute and fuzzy I HAVE to have - which explains why I am marrying Craig. So, I have a rather huge collection of stuffed animals from the last 21 years. My favourite collection are my Mr Potato Heads, which you MUST know, I have one in every room of the house, including the back yard - and that one is actually a sprinkler!!
My second *luv* is music - I play it, I write it and I listen to it! I play electric guitar though me being the slacker I am I haven't picked it up in a while  - as far as motivation is concerned, I lack it!
I have many interests - such as going to the movies, clubbing (and dancing like an idiot! but i have fun!), being with friends, penpalling, swapping, Playstation, 10-pin bowling (whom Craig's butt I thrash every time we play a game!), road trips etc. Pretty normal stuff for a girl like me.

Tiddles

WORK: I don't. I used to be an outside clerk for a solicitors firm. Many things made the decision for me to leave, and I have been battling some of these things for quite a long time. Sometimes you just want to scream your lungs out! PETS: These little guys help make up my world, especially my cat, Tiddles. He lives with my parents (and brother, Chris, yes, I have a sibling!), but I have a million photos of him here at home in albums and frames to remind me that he is still around. Dubbed, "the turd" (by Craig) or "Hong" by the rest of us, Tiddles is the craziest, laziest, crankiest, loudest, self centred animal around! And I love him for it! He is always a conversation piece, whether it be about the weird spots he likes to sleep in, the chuckups on the lounge (poor Mum) or the way he talks - cos he DOESN'T meow. Basically, the way Tiddles gets treated, ie. like royalty, anyone would think he was a slave in his past life, livin' it up in this one.
Gobbles - is my pet rat, he is the 3rd one I've had since 1995. Special mention to Snuffles and Hercules who I lost in 1995 and 1997 to cancer tumors.*sniffle* (Ha! I dont even want to begin to go into how many goldfish I have 'killed' over the last few years... about 11!) Gobs has a friendly, warm and psycho personality (like his owner apparently!) and this little terror likes to chew... my couch for one thing. Grrrrrrr!
RIP to my Hermit Crabs Bob & Beanie who left this world recently. I have no idea how they died or when they died (shows how much I am grieving huh?) but they are no more.
CRAIG: Let's talk about him! My wonderful hubby-to-be. We have not set a date for the wedding yet but if all goes well it will be in 2003. *MEGA STRESS*. Anyhoo, he's 25, and has been in the Australian Army for 7 years, though since August '01 he discharged and is working for Stegbar. Craig's sweet, caring, hilariously funny, a real charmer, sensitive and best of all he's some one I can REALLY talk to! Without Craig in my life, I don't know what I would do, he is the most important person in my life and I am glad we found each other We've been through alot togeher and stayed together through all his Army exercises, East Timor, and any rough patches that people do go through!
