Everything you ever wanted to know about me, and then some

Unbelievable's Story

So, you want to know where I got the name UnBelievable, do you? You may not believe this but, my username was acquired during the act of creating. When I first ventured into chat, back in early October 1996, I was a guest (4685) at Chat Now!. Upon my next visit I figured I should be somebody, so I got to creating. My first try was "Shasta" (don't ask why)--no luck, already exists. My next try was "Dazed" (for dazed and confused)--also already exists. I sat back and thought to myself, this is unbelievable. Thus the beginning of a most unbelievable adventure. Since then, I have created many other usernames ie: Catbaloo, Thelma (with BethAnn as AndLouise), MrsClaus, and Incroyable (thanks to Sirejacques), just to name a few. But I always revert back to Unbelievable, although Catbaloo sneaks in now and again.

Now for the Real Life Me

I was born on a cold winter's morn....well actually afternoon, in November 1961. My name was decided upon on the way to the hospital (something familiar about that name creation) One sister and two brothers preceded me in birth, and three brothers followed. With all them brothers, I was naturally a tomboy, but emerged very much a woman.

I was raised in many small towns in the midwest (USA), and so attended many different schools. By the time I was in jr. high, I was so shy, one would be lucky to get "hi" out of me. I attended college for about 1 1/2 yrs. This, along with entering the work force, began my emergence from my shell. I returned to college fall 1998 in a program for Computer Networks Specialist and graduated with a bachelors degree in summer 2001. I was married in August 1991 and divorced in July 1998. I have 2 daughters, a step-daughter and a step-son. I work as a Control Room Operator for a company that processes the Lottery. I would like to work out of my home, so if you have any ideas, let me know.

The things I love are reading and writing poetry, photography, music, dancing, singing, camping, kids, cats and horses.....OH! And I almost forgot, MY COMPUTER!!!

The things I hate are beets! UGH!! Liars, and people clanging and banging on instruments and wailing noises claiming to be making music and singing.

The types of music I like--everything. My favorite groups, too numerous to mention them all but heres a few of them: Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Tracy Chapman, Beatles, Wallflowers, White Town, Merril Bainbridge, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Phil Collins, Alanis Morissette, Collective Soul, Eurythmics, Meredith Brooks, etc, etc.

What I like about T.V.--the comercials! I especially love the 'Got Milk?' ones. My newest favorite are the Hardee's commercials "If your gonna go, go all out"
