Tampa Florida

Places I've been

My childhood memories often entail trips to the Great Smokey Mountains which I loved. I lived in Venezuela for 2 and a half years and have traveled to Spain and some of the Caribbean Islands. For the past twelve years I've lived in Perth Western Australia and I love it here though I miss terribly my two daughters who live in Florida.

More about me

I'm a Florida transplant now living in Perth Western Australia with my husband and one rottenish male kat.

I currently work for a " Cop Shop" which is all kinds of lurid, steamy excitement....Miami Vice's got nothing on our little suburb! It's called (by a big Perth newspaper) "The Bermuda Triangle of Crime"...how over-the-top is THAT!

I graduated from the University of South Florida in the town where I was born (Tampa, Florida), spent oh-so-many years as a doctoral student, but never finished the degree (it was close by god!). Found out I was Bipolar 1 (go see my old website FyrenIyce or click the dragon below) and fell in love on the Internet in a MOO--moved to Australia 12 years ago. Perth hasn't recovered yet...lol!...and I'm still married to the same sexy bloke!
