personal bio

I've lived in New Jersey all my life. I grew up in Rockaway, then moved twice, then moved back to Rockaway and have lived in my apartment for almost four years. I attend Port Morris United Methodist Church and have for at least ten years. Click the link to see the web site. I started County College of Morris in 1999 and graduated in 2004 with a certificate in Information Technologies and an associate's degree in Liberal Arts. Then, starting in January of 2005, I started at Kutztown University and went for three semesters, but left for personal reasons.

I'm a Pisces and my birthday is March 19. I read a book on Pisces once and got some information on the Internet, which is why the sign is linked. I don't live according to the stars, but I like to read my horroscope. Astrology fascinates me. I like to know the different characteristics for the different signs and the stories behind them, but I don't really care which planet is aligned with which house; that never made sense to me. I also don't live by my horroscopes, but I've noticed sometimes they do apply to me in some minor way.

favorite links

My favorite search engines are google and ask.com because if I can't find something on google, or if google overloads me with information, I can always find it on ask.com if I phrase it right. I like ask.com because I can phrase specific questions. In fact, that was how I found Darkwing Duck fanfiction and started writing my own fanfics.

My boyfriend and I had a conversation about why Launchpad left Duckburg for Saint Canard and I decided to google it. I got way too much information, so I went to ask.com and asked the specific question. I found a few theories that I didn't like, and then I came across the fanfiction. I started the search at 11 pm, and the next thing I knew it was nine the next morning.

I love to download sounds. My favorite place to do that is sound america. I would recommend you enable your popup blocker before you click the link.

If you want to find episode guides for your favorite shows, go here and do a search on the show you want. I love this site because it helps me find episode titles for shows I want to download with my file sharing program. Click the link if you want to find out more about eMule Plus.

I've been blind since birth and use a screen reader called Jaws for Windows to operate the computer. The company that invented it is called Freedom Scientific and also has magnification software for people who can see, but need larger print. They also have their own computer, called a Pac Mate. Someday, when I have the money, I want to get myself one.

There are a bunch of cool programs you can download that work with jaws, and you can probably use the mouse with them, too, if you can see and don't need a screen reader. You can get them by clicking this link and then clicking on the "programs link.

If you go to GW Micro, you'll find another screen reader called window eyes. I don't have much experience with it, but some people like it better than jaws. Personally, I like the jaws interface better.

If you like Star Wars and/or fanfiction, maybe you'll like star wars fan audio. You can find some here.

I'm going to put more on this page, but I want to fix some of the other links first, ones that probably won't be updated as much. I hope I've peaked your interest with some of mine and I hope you'll share yours with me. To see my thoughts on my current interest, check out my personal blog and tell me what you think.
