Quotes that Inspire Me

"I reject your reality and substitute my own!"

Adam Savage

"When in doubt - C4."

Jamie Hyneman

"...two pints of beer is fine. Two pints of ice cream is not."

Vivian Campbell.

" ‘cause people think I’m on drugs, and I’m not, I’m really quite, you know… just a bit of coffee, and I’m really… (mimes being level-headed) When I take drugs, I start going, “Oh, insurance! Ever thought of…? And pensions! Very sensible!”..."

Eddie Izzard

"There is a place for any kind of music provided that it's good. People talk about alternative and hard rock, R&B, call it what you will. At the end of the day there's two types of music, good and bad."

"I started out as a guitarist 20 years ago but we couldn't find a bass player, so I offered to play bass until we found one. We never did, thank God, otherwise I'd be fucked at this stage!"

Rick Savage

"There is no great genius without some touch of madness."

Seneca

“We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?”

Steve Jobs

“Life is either a daring adventure, or it is nothing.”

Helen Keller

About Me

I'm a geek. I'm a goth geek, photo geek, writer geek, music geek, computer geek of all trades really.

I love tea and coffee, music and writing are my life and have three senior kitties and two middle-aged puppies - all of whom are rescues.

I'm a bit shy with a tendency to open mouth and insert feet (all while making everyone laugh, including myself), and I've been told I have a quirky, wicked sense of humour.

I'm an unapologetic Canadian, a metal head, and I've been bitten by the wanderlust bug.

Favorite Crafts

Needlepoint, cross-stitch, digital painting, just getting back into being crafty, so...

If you have any questions if I like something, just ask. I don't bite unless asked. :D

I do have pets, if you have allergies to cats/dogs, please let me know. I do try to keep them off my trades, but they have minds of their own sometimes

I'm so glad that MSG link was useful to you! I had truly debated whether or not to bother including it bc I don't like preachiness. MSG and Aspartame/NutraSweet are evil, evil additives, and while a lot of Aussies know about both, I've found a lot of Americans who haven't even heard of MSG. I wouldn't have a clue about Canadians. ("Does anyone have a clue about Canadians?" Groucho Marx cigar waggle) MSG is insidious but is added to chips/crisps, canned soups, sprinkled over fruit salad at take-away places (would you believe!), and is famous for being in Chinese food. Over here they have to tell you by law if it's in their food if you ask, and even when they don't add it, you're alerted to the fact that it's already in many of the bottled sauces they use. :( It makes you thirsty, hungry for more (which is why people crave Chinese food half an hour later, as per that old 'joke-y' musing), and leads to severe migraine in some. OK, that's enough rambling outta me! ;)
