I don't know what I can say about myself that's original (and true).
I'm a writer, a software developer, an artist, a mother, and a wife. I have four cats, two of whom never shut up. I mean it, they are meowing right now and I want them to stop. They're big whiner babies about being fed. You feed them, and two minutes later they're crying to someone else about how they haven't eaten for... minutes.
I have twin daughters. I am very proud of them. See below for their very own websites.
