These are the pictures of my babies. The black cat is named Eris, for the Greek Goddess of Discord. She lives up to the name. The orange cat is named Geek. He came with that name when we adopted him from the vet. the little gray cat is named Fnord (About the name,.....if you don't know; I can't explain. It is a long story.) The iguana is appropriately named Iggy; what else? Not pictured my other cat Baby.

This was drawn for me by an incredibly talented women at the Chicago Comicon. She worked at an anima booth right behind Drew's /Series booth. She drew this for me in less then 10 minutes on her break.  If you would like her e-mail address; write me.
 

Samantha came to visit me.

"I read to escape my life every day,
 To take away all the little pains.
 I do not know what the future brings,
 But the books show different perspectives to me.
 That isn't bad, that isn't wrong, nor anything to scorn.
 While some watch sports and others drink,
 I sit and read and write and think
 And one day, between the pages,
 The solutions to my problems might come to me."

Samantha wrote this to me and it meant so much; because this is what I feel and believe, yet could put into words.
 

This is a rough picture of my front hall, with my PE painted leather hanging from a doorway, Along with my chain maile shirt. My walls are covered with female action figures. (Who needs paint or wallpaper?)
 

While we are showing pictures, here is one of me at Dragon Con 1998.
I am wearing an ankle length rubber dress, chain skirt, and my leather vest, with the PE scene from the picture above.
I was totally surprised that anyone would want to take my picture, but people did.
