I still live where I was born, some 23 years ago, here in the great city of Seattle, Washington. *smile* If you've never been here, I'll clear up the big rumor.......it doesn't rain here as much as you might think! *Sshhhh* Its a rumor we spread to keep Californians from moving here! *grin* Seattle is home to the Space Needle, Boeing, Bill Gates (the Man!), strong coffee, and ear bleeding heavy metal music.

In April I finished an Internship with the State Senate, and in May I graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Political Science/Pre-Law....before you ask, no, I am not going to Law School. There are enough Lawyers in the world, right??? *Insert favorite Lawyer Joke here* I'm in that "Now What??" stage of life I guess. Eventually I plan to get a Masters degree in International Marketing, but now I'm looking for a JOB!! 2-3 years ago I might have said my big goal in life was to "Save the World", since that time, I've come to my senses, and I have more realistic goals....."Get out of Debt" being goal number one!!

Some day when I'm rich and famous (hheheheee...yeah right!!) I'm going to explore this big world......which is why you might find me on such interesting channels as #Scotland, #Aussies, #England, and #Italy. Also, I guess I haven't given up on the idea of going to graduate school in another country (let me know if you know of any great schools!!) If I'm feeling especially feisty, you might find me on #politics.....my favorite subject! Some of my other interests are music (all kinds), literature (my favorite author is Edgar Allen Poe), art, sports/fitness, and of course....computers!

I'm an IRC "old-timer". I've been on IRC for 1.5 years, and I was on "relay" with a different nick before that!! You really know you're an old-timer when you can remember "relay" ......imagine 5-10 minute lag!! *yack* What I should do is go back for a computer science degree, then maybe I could justify the amount of time I spend yapping away on IRC! Its shameful!!! I even talk in my sleep!........or, so I'm told.

Bye for now........Manndy
