Over the past 24 hours, I have begun to get to know (and enjoy) the company of Anky. The playful banter he is exhibiting has been refreshing when compared ... others ... It got me to thinking... Who are you all? Where do you come from? What do you like to do in your spare time? What makes you, you?
I will start by sharing a bit of information about myself. I am looking forward to getting to know you all also :)
My name is Rhianna, but most of my friends call me Rhi. I am a 36 year old woman living in the far north NSW regional area of Australia. I have a 13 year old daughter, and a wonderful partner who started me off in TS last month. I am a computer programmer who is has just finished studying, and I just won the "Student of the year" award last month for the previous year. I am currently looking for work also.
My main passion in life is Australian Wildlife. I work with animals that other people love to hate - specifically reptiles and bats. I am the reptile coordinator for the largest wildlife care organisation in Australia, and the second largest in the world. Over the past 2 years, I have cared for and rehabilitated over 700 species, returning the vast majority of that number to the wild. Yup - I deal with deadly snakes on a daily basis. In fact, I deal with a large number of the top 20 deadly snakes in the world. Bats are my other passion and each year I raise a number of orphaned flying foxes - an endangered species in Australia. More information about my involvement with wildlife can be found at www.rhianna.id.au
When I find the inspiration and time, I also like to paint. I work mostly with oils and acrylics, and have won a lot of awards for my paintings. The subject I am most happy painting is (surprise surprise) wildlife.
So that is a bit about me, and what I do. I would like to hear about the other regulars. If you ever wanna chat with me, you can find me on msn - rhianna2000@msn.com
Looking forward to reading about you guys now! :)
