Name: Chris
( "Karisu-sama" to YOU.) - Why? Because it's utterly silly,
and pretentious as hell, that's why. ;)
Occupation: ImageCraft
Webmaster & Jill of all trades (mistress of none? ;) ), Mother of
the Lovely
Angels / Dirty Pair, General Obnoxiousness (why settle for "captain"?
;) )
Age: Old enough to know better, young enough to BE
better. (Call me "Obaasan" only if you are seriously into
pain.)

Height: 175
cm
Hair color: Natural. It's also long. When it's short,
it isn't growing on my scalp.
Marital status: Handfasted
since.....never mind how long. ;) Over half my life. :p
Denizen of:
The Valley of geek-oriented freeway billboards (Silicon)

mauve
Fun Fact: I normally cut my birthday cake with a sword.
What do I want to be when I grow up: Grow up?? ---
"Never grow up, never surrender!"
(Aging very disgracefully ;) )
Do you know what it is? The "Starburst Scar" is more
reliable than any fakeable ID; you can not possibly have one now if
you are underage. Of course, the lifetime of "protection"
was/is far less reliable, Gods-damn it.
