USER ID: MissLinnyB
NAME: Linda
AGE: 25
LOCATION: SoCal, USA
GENDER: Female
OTHER: Creative & Technical Director for Slackers Inc.
BIOGRAPHY: A proper introduction...

First and foremost, I have more nicknames than I care to count but you can feel free to call me Linda. Oddly enough, I was actually named after my mum's sister and my dad's aunt so I don't mind my name too much but I'm sincerely not keen on my middle name since it's far too common and I prefer to be different. I was born and raised on the West Coast of the USA but I simply adore traveling so there's no guarantee how long I'll be here. Actually, on that little note, I'd like to mention that I have the most amazing and brilliant fiancé (who I adore more than ANYTHING) in the whole entire universe. That's mostly relevant to the previously mentioned statement because he used to live on the East coast (before I "kidnapped" him and moved him out here) but his family (especially his awesome sister who happens to be my best friend) and friends still live there and I know we'll be making loads of trips back to visit...so there ya go. That plus I do a lot of traveling around the US of A for work.

Since it's not 100% obvious (yet), I'd like to note that I'm a bit of a "goody-good" and an environmentalist (or "professional tree hugger" as I like to call it). Basically, I do air, water and soil monitoring (as well as the data management, reporting and public education/outreach) for a local environmental Agency who reports to USEPA. Yes, I do have a job (a real one) so that means I'm super old...twenty-five to be exact but that number will be going up (again) in October. Even though I'm ancient, I used to work at an elementary school so I'm pretty much still a little kid at heart...sometimes anyway.

Some of the hobbies I have include writing (short stories, poetry, articles, fanfic, para-RP, etc), reading (just about anything), listening to music (anything but rap or country), watching sports (primarily baseball & Aussie Rules) and...uh...being me. I know that doesn't count as a hobby but, in an odd sort of way, it really is. Habits? I'm a terrible procrastinator and a pushover...which I'm sure nearly everyone knows. Since maths and sciences were always my best subjects (even though I passed my AP English and AP Spanish exams), I’m probably not the best speller in the world either. I'm also a tad dyslexic and have a bit of OCD as well as a knack for being a bit shy. That hardly makes sense, I know, but tis entirely true. Sorta makes one wonder why I always wanted to be a police officer when I was growing up if I've always been shy, doesn't it? Well...a police officer, veterinarian or a conservationist, like my hero/idol, Steve Iriwn. On that note, I'd like to say that I have been to Australia Zoo (home of the Crocodile Hunter) but, sadly, it was on Steve Irwin day...so I never did get to meet him. *sniffle*

How did I end up a part of Slackers Inc.? Evidently I'm decent at "fluffing up" descriptions. That might have something to do with my knack for writing and the mere fact that I enjoy doing it...but who knows, right? There's that and the fact that, I have a very over-active imagination which likes to run wild in an almost creative sort of way. Perhaps that's what gained me the title of Creative & Technical Director? Oh, and even though I'm not a spelling/grammar nazi, I'm also half way decent at proof-reading things.

And there is a bit of insight into the person behind the user name.
