Greetings, I am Siren_noda, but I've already said that now didn't I? Yes I know this place is pretty plain looking, but I'd rather have lots of word space than a few pretty pictures. Some places here will eventually get some of my drawings and mimicry on them, but for now, be content with words. I'm part of the Anime, Fantasy, Sci-fi and Video Games pods, seeing as how I've been into most of the above for quite a while now. I am currently at Norwalk Community Technical College, a faboo place to get a good start in college, or to erase a not-so-good start. I'm interested in biology, genetics, computers, games (ooh, the games,) horseback riding (English,) and fencing. Right now, I'm starting to get into bonsai and I'm growing some from seeds (I've got two Texas Ebony, two Pomegranate and three Jacarandas. I love jacarandas :) ). I also dabble in costume design and construction.

Ok, so now I've moved into my dorm and all that fun stuff. I have a wonderful roommate, and a great view of the lake in the near-center of campus. I'm happily established with my connection and phone, and all that fun stuff. I finally get to take Japanese! And Meep can actually eat when she comes to visit me because they serve vegan food in the dorms.

Update! Umm, well, maybe not really, but I feel like playing around and procrastinating. I just started watching the most excellent show, called Iron Chef. You can catch it on the food network, friday and saturday nights at ten, sunday at seven. It's the most awesome show! And the Iron Chefs are so cute! I just wanna hug them all! If you can, watch the yogurt battle and just watch Iron Chef Chinese's reactions to the ingredient and the outcome of the battle and tell me he isn't the cutest thing on earth.

What the smeg did I do?! Ok, here's something funny that I did in Suikoden. Mind you, my playstation is ancient and very scrupulous, refusing to cooperate with gamesarks and completely unaltered. I was playing this afternoon, got up to Sonoire prison, the part where Gremio gets taken away *snif* and something weird happened. He's level 32, axe at level 9 (copper axe), and after leaving the prison there's the war with Milich Oppenheimer. I attack with the Commander's unit (Now reduced to the hero and Pahn, right?) and who's lovely scarred face do I see?! The stone tablets Leknaat gave me say that he's dead but there he is, right as rain. I still keep him in my party, more cause I like him and he's awesome, but he should be DEAD! I don't understand it, but I like it!

I am part of a motley group of some of the best people in the world! We represent lots of the different people that make life interesting, as you may want to see in my quotes section. We affectionately call ourselves the Geek Squad, a title we wear with great pride.

Well now, without further ado, this is my page! Browse as you see fit!

Places to go:

Games -This is what I think about some games, personal reviews I guess. Remember! No review is universal! This is just what I think and you don't have to agree! It's mostly stuff for PSX, and one arcade game, cause I haven't got an N64, nor do I want one.

Quotes -People say some great things, and I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, so here's the fun stuff I've collected. Sources are books, games, movies, anime, all sorts of things. There's even some from real people in here!

Friends -This is where links to my friends live! Or, will live, when I get it set up.

Siren -This is where I stash stuff on the characters I use in stories and such. This also explains the Siren in my name, which does NOT come from the mythological creature.

How To Shop Effectively -This is just a little thing that I threw together since I work in a bookstore and people don't seem to know how.

For Griffon -This is for Griffon, our Black Lab. Maybe she's playing with Fox, Nakago and Rabscuttle. I hope so.

Obsessing -These are my favorite characters, from books, games and anime. Actually, these are my elite favorites, who I sometimes play around with when I write.

I can draw! -I'm placating the Meeper here. See, she wants me to put soem of my art up, so here I go. Mind you, I'm far from great. If you really want to see more though, I have a chibi gallery on elfwood! Go. Look. Comment!

Mage's Poetry -This is some stuff from one of my friends. Nice guy, and creator of this comedy/tragedy thing :):

Cooking and Stuff -Heh, this is a recent thing for me. See, I've known how to do some cooking, I can follow a recipie and all, but this is more of "Adventures in Cookery!"
