I'm a geek who likes to stay at home and putter around on my computer/read comics/watch TV with my partner. My undergraduate degree is in history with a minor in English, and I have a diploma in information systems technology. I work as an accounting clerk with responsibilities in quality control and technical support. I love living in my downtown apartment where I can walk or bus (nearly) everywhere.

Like many fans of my generation, my introduction to anime was thru the English dub of Sailor Moon when it first aired in Canada in 1995. I still have a soft spot for the series.
