some stuff about me.....i live in st. paul, minnesota. (i moved and am no longer the caretaker of the building i live in, but my new place completely kicks the old ones butt.)i like to take pictures. the ones i think are worth sharing are here: http://in-dis-guise.deviantart.com/ and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7338139@N04/ please feel free to look at them.i have too many (five) cats, most of them were rescued.i use the name indisguise (or in-dis-guise or in_dis_guise or ....etc.) at many different sites and forums: imdb, deviantart, flickr, plime, worth1000, photobucket.... the list goes on but you get the idea. i also like to play with photoshop and have an account at worth1000. i'm nowhere near as good as the w1k veterans although every so often i get brave and try to enter a contest. the competition there is stiff, but the tutorials are awesome and i've learned a lot from them. most of the time i just photoshop to amuse myself and my friends and the rest of the world doesn't get to see them...i have a very weird sense of humor sometimes.things i like (in no particular order):making jewelry, camping, scrapbooking, photography, candle making, cartoons, the internet, reading, movies, gardening, things that are medieval, gaiaonline, music, animals, monty python, towlie, penn and teller, llamas....things i dislike:spammers, spam(the internet variety. the canned meat comes from minnesota and is quite tasty.), internet trolls, people who go out of their way to push their religious beliefs or political agendas (christian, muslim, republican, democrat...doesn't matter, it's all the same), people who insist marijauana is a harmful narcotic (don't even get me started), and peta people. why peta people? go here and read: www.petakillsanimals.commy music tastes are eclectic:jimi hendrix, nine inch nails, led zepplin, pantera, white zombie, foo fighters, audioslave, aretha franklin, stevie wonder, elton john, steve winwood, dr. john, the blues brothers, henry mancini, the grateful dead, zakk wylde, frank zappa, paul simon.... if i list everyone you'll be here all day. i have over 8000 songs in my music library at the moment. i watch entirely too much tv, and i love movies (like the music category - too many to list them all here). i think that's enough for now.....
