Who's the real Methanie? Shoot, if I can answer that on this page alone, then I'll be set.

My name is Methanie Dempsay Binder. When I was young, my family and friends called me Meffie. I put a stop to that malarkey when I was fourteen. But now I wonder why.

I am:

• A photographer
• A Web developer and designer
• A bit of a writer
• The baby of the family
• Rather silly
• Occasionally sappy
• Bigger than a breadbox
• Sober for 11 years now, thankyouverymuch

I am not:

• A fancy lad
• Too big for my britches
• Very much like anyone else (or so I like to believe)
• Too picky
• As tall as Shaquille O'Neill

I like:

• Singing loud and/or dancing when no one else is around
• Weiner dogs, fuzzy kittens and Mini Coopers
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• The words "malarkey," "shenanigans," and "squirrel"
• My iPod
• My Powerbook
• iMovie
• Oh hell, who am I kidding, I like Apple, OK? Are you happy now?
• Reading. A lot.
• Albus Dumbledore
• Too many movies and musical artists to list here
• ChAH-lee MurphAY

I love:

• My husband. He deserves a medal for putting up with my shenanigans (see "I like," above)
• My nieces and nephew
• My family, although I have been known to hide from them on occasion (a necessary survival skill when you are the baby in the family)
• Skiing
• Swimming
• Kauai, or any of the islands, I'm not picky (see "I am not," above)
• Ice cream
• My birthday in ROcKtober
• Cold cereal

I often wonder:

• If I give blood, and then the person who has my blood goes out and commits a crime and leaves his/her blood at the scene of said crime, will my DNA then be at the crime scene? Because I don't always have an airtight alibi, and I don't want to go to prison as a result of trying to be a good citizen, you know?

Wow, there's something cathartic about summarizing your entire life in a bulleted list. Really.
