Well, actually it isn't.  But I am also not left handed, and have been known to run around with giants from time to time, so perhaps that is close enough.

My name is Jen.  Amaranth is a descriptor that I'll answer to, and that manages to separate me from the seven billion other Jens that seem to have been born in the seventies.  I ended up here by googling "geek forums".  Well, sort of.  I found this place by way of google.  I decided to stop and visit because I saw pbsaurus's avatar and about fell out of my chair laughing.  Had to see what kind of strange place hosted such things.  Once I'd looked around a bit, I couldn't not register.  Go fig.  You people are funny.

Necessary things to know about me:  I like RPG's (both of the video and pen & paper variety), comic books (anybody here read Phil Foglio?) and toys of most kinds.  I'm a divorced mom of two; they eat up most of my time & energy but in the end I don't mind so much.  Also, I'm a smilie addict.  I will use them entirely too much, and then go find new ones to use.  I do try and restrain myself, but the little faces are just so damn expressive.  

So that's me in something slightly smaller than a nutshell.  I'm sure more will make it's way out later.  In the meantime...um, hi?
