Some fun facts about me:

* I have been online and surfing the net since 1995. (10 years--yipes!)
* I created my first webpage in 1995 as part of a computer class at college, but it sat idle after that for nearly three years before I touched it again.
* I watch old reruns of The Smurfs on Boomerang... and find them oddly much funnier than I ever did when I was a kid.
* I own two beanie babies.
* The longest span of time I've been continously awake is 22 and a half hours.

     In the real world, I enjoy writing, reading, drawing, bicycling in nice weather, swimming if I get the chance, and music in many different forms. I've recently taken up the hobby of "dolling" which is when you download a base body and draw clothes and hair and other goodies on it in a graphics program. It's really a lot of fun, but it takes patience. One of my dolls is the lady in the aqua dress just to the left. You can d-load her base at the link provided and try your hand at it!

     I love humor writing and consider one of the best humor writers to be Patrick McManus, who if you don't know him, is like a Dave Barry of the great outdoors. (although IMHO, he's a hundred times funnier than Barry). I own nine of his books and have laughed myself silly at each of them, although I think my favorite was A Fine and Pleasant Misery.

     Some of my current favorite TV shows are: The Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, and The Amazing Race. Cartoon-wise, I will always love Garfield and Bugs Bunny, and some of my favorite comic strips include Garfield (naturally), The Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, and Shoe.

     In the words of Porky Pig, that's all folks. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and please enjoy the site. If you have a question or comment about the content in these pages, please feel free to e-mail me at calorain1@yahoo.com
