Hey Kittens!
I've been lurking on the board for over a year now, and have decided the time has finally come to get out there and meet some of you awesome Kittens!

The sheer volume of talent on the KB is a bit overwhelming, which has added to the delay in my coming out. But the all encompassing need to connect has won out, so here I am!
I'm relatively new to the land of BTVS love, though I'm as obsessed as the best of em! I have to (reluctantly, because she loves to say I told you so when she reminds me that she tried to get me to watch the show when it was originally on) thank my sister for turning me on to the show. She was trying to get me to read Twilight *ugh*, and so I rented some vampire movies from the library to get in the mood. The pickings were mighty slim, but they had a bunch of Buffy discs. I remember vaugely hearing something about that American Pie girl being in it, and she was gay, so I thought "Self, gay girls, campy name. Could be fun." I started with season four, disc two. Beer Bad was the first episode I ever watched. Not the best ever, but dang, that Willow sure is cute! So I kept on. And On. And then, Oh No! The library had discs missing in season five. So I bought the Chosen Collection. And discovered Fan Fic. *sigh* And have spent what some might consider to be a very unhealthy amount of time reading these stories of two women who have changed my life in ways I never expected fictional characters could. And it's the authors and feedbackers and their passion that made it happen. So, thank you all!
So, a little about me: I love music, and play guitar and mandolin. Nothing fancy, it just makes me feel good. I listen to music all the time, and luckily have a job where I can do that. I also love to cook, and currently work as the production manager of a local Bagel shop/deli/bakery/catering joint. The further into management I go, the less I get to work with the food, so I'm getting kinda grumpy about that. I had a part time job last year making ice cream at another bakery, and it was awesome! But the extra hours were cutting into my W/T time, so I had to give it up.

Let's see, what else could you possibly want to know about me? I love astrology and tarot, and love reading about all kinds of metaphysical/spiritual paths. Hell, I just love reading in general. I recently moved, and discovered I had 15 boxes of books.... And two boxes of clothes! heh. I love spending time with friends, which I have plenty of time to do now that I'm recently single. I'm a huge goober, and if you spend enough time near me, you will see that I'm very nearly on the insane side of quirky. No wonder I feel so connected to this place!
Ok, so this has become waaaaaay longer than I expected. I really am a super shy girl.... Really. Hmmmmm, maybe the KB can cure me of that pesky trait!

I wanna do right, but not right now...
