You must have stopped in here to either:

A) to see what kind of a basket case you're dealing with,
B) to see if this is going to be just another one of those online brag-fests, or because
C) you're disgusted with my journalism and want to bombard me with flame mail. I bet you think you're unique in that respect too.

Continuing with our saga, I'm a reporter for the Michigan City News-Dispatch. (Ooooh! Scary!) However, I must remind you that this is Kaos and I don't talk shop here!

I graduated from Purdue North Central in 2002. I started out studying history -which was always a real blast... especially when we got to play war games. After I acquired a job as one of PNC's Writing Center tutors, I decided to switch my major to English.

In other trivia, I am married to a cartoonist and am the proud owner of a very angry budgie named Vivaldi.

In my spare time --wait! What's spare time? All I have time for anymore is eating, sleeping and chores. Ugh. When there is spare time I get a kick out of working on my literary and artistic endeavors.

Believe it or not I do some writing outside of the realm of articles on cats stuck in trees. I prefer to write fiction and have been fighting with a series of novels for...let's just call it a good long while. At one point I kept busy with writing Get Smart Fan Fic, which can be found on my Get Smart website. Due to that "spare time" issue, work burn out and a desire to get somewhere with my other writing, I gave that up.

To some degree I'm also compulsive artist --when there's spare time for it. Busting out the charcoal pencils, the acrylics, and whatnot actually keep me from wigging out. Now if only everyone would stop wanting a piece of me... then maybe I'd have some spare time.
