My name is Teri. I am the mother of a beautiful little girl named Eleanor, who is 3. Her father and I split on her 1st birthday. I work, I go to college, and I game.

Yes, that's right. I'm a gamer. Ladies, don't get mad when your husband/boyfriend wants to play games; give them a shot yourself. You might find them addicting. I play console games as well as table-top RPGs. (Think "Dungeons and Dragons.")

I go to Cons (conventions). Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comic, Anime, Multi-fandom conventions. I am on the staff of Con*Nooga. (Check out www.connooga.com for more info)

I love rock music. Hard rock and heavy metal are my favorite genres, but I have a particular soft spot for Irish music, be it Irish folk or rock or a combination. (Think Flogging Molly or The Pogues)

I smoke, I drink, I curse like a sailor, but I am a genuinely nice person with a big heart. I just prefer to put my flaws out there. To quote a favorite song of mine, my flaws are open season.
