Who the hell am I...!?
Hmm...what is there to say about me? Well, first off, my real name is Christine. When I first arrived in the "web design community," I went by the alias of Rikku Girl, since I'm a fan of Rikku from Final Fantasy X/X-2 (I think she's awesome!). Of course, I've since gone to using my real name. No particular reason...I suppose I just grew tired of going by a nickname, anymore. I like my real name, anyways.
In the world wide web, I'm an amateur web designer. I (still) enjoy making graphics (usually based on games or anime), but it's purely a hobby of mines. During high school, I did consider pursuing a computer or web designer career. But after working a part-time position as a website designer for nearly a year, I decided it wasn't something I wanted to do professionally, afterall.
Plus my interest in web design has fluctuated over these recent years.
With that being said, away from the Internet, I'm a high school teacher. In spite of the fact that it's a challenging, not-so-high paying occupation, it is a fun, valuable and very "worth it" job in the end. It pisses me off when teachers get so much criticism, especially public education teachers. Because there ARE good teachers around.
Other than that, I'd say I'm a pretty friendly person. I'm a bit of an "indoor person." I like to go out (shopping) but not too often; I don't really party, go clubbing, or (alcoholic) drink. I'm definitely not perfect. My patience goes up and down from time-to-time, and I can have a pretty hot temper. But overall...I think I'm an okay person.
And...I guess that's a bit about me. If you'd like to know more, then feel free to ask!
