My "About Me" Page

"I started out as a child."--Bill Cosby I'm a native Southern Californian. I'm the third generation on my Dad's side to be born in LA County. I was born on the last day of winter in 1975. I come from a long line of Mexican Catholics with huge families. Lots of weddings, baptisms, communions, and funerals filled the late 70's and all of the 80's for me. I thought I was just another cog in the wheel, though inside I felt like there was more to life than what I was being raised to do.
"I must be myself."--Ralph Waldo Emerson As the caption says, this pic was taken when I was 21. I was on the verge of quitting school and moving in with a guy I'd met on AOL earlier that year. A very unpopular choice, but it's one I don't regret. There was a lot more to life than what everyone wanted me to do with mine, and I decided to try to follow my bliss. I've made plenty of mistakes, but overall I've enjoyed life post-college.
"She parted with convention."-Devo I hit my quarter century mark and got a present that was a Devo Fangirl's Dream. A few days later, I boarded a plane to Maui with my boyfriend. We came back a week later as husband and wife. Three weeks later, I got my tubes tied. Yet again, a very unpopular choice that I don't regret.
Becoming Mrs. Synthfool I've always loved synths, even before I knew what they were. I loved what they added to music. Fortunately, I get to learn about them from the inside out, thanks to my husband, who restores vintage synths for a living. It's been a little bit of a struggle to adapt to being a housewife, but I'm learning how to find joy in it. It certainly gives me a hell of a lot of freedom!
