Revisiting the Resume

A long time ago I wrote a resume for my heart. I decided now would be a good time to revisit and update this little tidbit. Hope you enjoy. (Oh, and as an aside, I usually am not this uninteresting. Please have some patience with me while I continue to try to get this site up to par. It feels like I have been away MUCH longer than 9 months. I am still looking for the CD that has all of my other artwork on it, plus I should be getting my new(er) hard drive on Monday to replace my current dying one, so I will have to reinstall everything yet again when that happens. Plus, I am TRYING to do Nanowrimo again this year. Oh, and Word Racer on Yahoo! Games isn’t helping, either.)

    Wow, that was really cool. what a great idea, not that i’d want to document my depressing experiences (lol), but that was really a great entry. BTW, i was also addicted to WordRacer, but I’m now in recovery (actually, i moved on to BounceOut and developed an extreme addiction….i even dream about playing)
