I live in a small town called Fort Erie, which is about 15 minutes away from Niagara Falls and I've lived here all my life. During school, where I go to Sheridan College, I live in Oakville, which is close to Toronto. My program is called Media Arts (Film/Television) were I am currently majoring in screen writing, Foley (which is the process of making certain sounds after filming has completed, making the actors re-record lines. So for example in Finding Nemo, all the sounds made from the waves to the whale noises are the works of Foley artist.) and Producing. This is my 3rd year going to Sheridan and I have one more year left.
I played baseball for 14 years, played 1 year of travel and 4 years on my school team. I also was on my high school swim team and volleyball. I occasionally golf and play lawn bowling.. yes I know what your thinking.... >.<! And lastly, I have to confess am a HUGE Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Lost nerd!
Proudest Moment: Hmm.. this one took me awhile to think about, but I've concluded that my first one is when I received 3 of the highest awards for high school; Letter, Honor Plaque and my Honor Letter and getting accepted into my school program, which only 65 people out of almost 3,000 students apply to get in.

Background history:
I have lived in Perth, Australia for 23 years and for the bulk of those 23 years I have thought of leaving. I spent my primary school years being a studious student, which left me with no friends. I sat at the front of the class. In high school I sat in the middle of the class, and failed a lot. I got to university and sat at the back of every lecture and excelled. I am currently doing my honours thesis in computer security. My nickname comes from a trouble-maker part I was playing in a skit for the drama class I attended for 12 years.
I have been playing video games since 1991, my first system was the venerable NES. I graduated to a SNES and gameboy, then a colour game boy, then PC games, then the underrated GameCube, the Xbox, PS2 and finally the DS. When I am not working, I am gaming.

Interests: Video Games, Sports; Baseball softball backyard football, low budget 80s action/scifi movies, cartoon network, being a kid.
Background history (where are you from, education, sports played, etc, whatever you think people would like to know about you, though nothing obscene): I was a tomboy growing up on the block, I grew out of it...kinda. My
first real epic game was Zelda and the Ocarina of Time, it changed my soul. I played a lot of sports in my younger days and at the age of 11. I narrowed it down to softball and started traveling around the country
every summer with my travel team. When I entered Highschool at the University of Chicago Labratory High School, I was saddened to find that there was no softball team, so I joined the boy's baseball team and played as thier catcher. When I was 15 I ripped my mcl and was unable to walk for a few month. Unable to play sports I resolved to
doing stupid teenager stuff and playing video games. This was the moment when my gaming evolved like some sort of pokemon into the serious. I did rehab for all my stuff though and went back to playing sports, but I remained a gamer. When I was 17, my softball team and I went to the Junior Olympics for softball. We did pretty good. My senor
year some guy downloaded World of Warcraft on my computer when I wasnt looking...for three hours...what? This resulted in my addiction to WoW and a new found friendship with said, some guy. Life has been interesting, and I want to continue my adventures in the future. I plan on getting a monkey to help me out. Like Abu from Aladin.
