I was in some chatroom many years ago and I needed a name.. so I grabbed a song title ("Misanthrope" by Death) but since it was taken, I female-ized it.. so I am MsAnthrope, not to be confused with Ms. Anthrope from San Fransisco! I found her on the net cuz she has my nickname (or I have hers) and we've become buds. Anyway...

What does MsA do? Do you care? Well then..... First and foremost, I am a guitarist! I've been playing since 1988 and have been in a few bands, I recently stopped playing with ARTISAN, but you shall go have a look/listen anyhow. There's old and new on the site. Before Arti, I was with RAPTURE - once we started getting pretty good recognition we had to break up. Grrr... Aside of that, I've done some session work and sound engineering for demo recordings. Music rules. Obscure Ana-fact: Ana is fluent in American Sign Language. Maybe so when all the loud music consumes my eardrums I'll still be able to function?

Next, I'm a G33K! I like to do webdesign, graphic shiz, play games sometimes and VERY OCCASIONALLY raise a stink in chatrooms when I'm bored (but usually end up finding other bands to listen to). I like hanging out with my real friends, in real life, I'm not one of those internet people who feels loved when random people I don't know show me attention. Everything makes me laugh, whether it's a good thing or I'm laughing at the general idiocy of the world. I love stupid random humour (cartoons, movies) I love my doggy - she rules! My horse rules too..that big silly boy he is...oh, how I must grab his nostrils and/or slap his cheeks right now! I like driving cuz I get a chance to get into the zone and listen to lots of albums without anyone around to bug me. I like the outdoors & watching my friends' bands play as well as performing. That's all - I'll waste bandwidth with something cool sometime soon..

Scratch that "something cool" reference. I want to ramble...

Things that are cool:
Sage, Zorak, Music, Aikido, Jackson guitars, Space Ghost episodes, Invader Zim, Sealab 2021, Ren & Stimpy, any cartoon/movie featuring satan, getting stronger, Agent Smith, dragons (especially TROGDOR), sbemails, Weebl & Bob, good Sci-Fi, bad Horror movies, sleeping, Dr. Pepper & popcorn, video games (particularly old Atari games, Soul Caliber 2, Age of Mythology), Sushi, InfernalCombustion.com, HTML by hand, Opeth, stuff... Hey, shh.. did the lights just flicker? Naruto, um..Opeth.. ;) collecting articles of clothing en masse...including some with the Opeth logo on them. HA! Oh yeah, and my collection of rare incurable diseases.

Lame, lame, lame:
Bad music, squidgy foods, cockroaches (shivers), getting up before 10, mess, drugs, druggies, cigarettes, people with no self-esteem, people who talk too much, things that stink (see: Justin's old leftovers in Artisan studio fridge, also see: cigarettes), wet socks GGRRR, people who walk too slow or drive too fast, impatience, incompetence, listening to complaints, lack of motivation, PEOPLE, people who waste bandwidth with personal websites ;)...
