| Name: | Allison E. Kaese aka Aylinn Von Kaese | |
| Website: | Lady Aylinn's Demesne | |
| Bio: | I'm me. <G> I have freckles, blue eyes & auburn brown hair. Normally it's worn in a ponytail 95% of the time but I got it cut this spring & it's still growing out. I'm a Stellium Sagittarius, Moon in Pisces, Pisces rising. Water Rabbit according to Chinese Astrology. I'm mildly Bi-Polar, moderately Asthmatic & tolerably Overweight. However, my doctor thinks I'm being optimistic in all three cases and would probably rate each of these conditions as being more severe. I wear glasses and walk with a cane due to a major car accident in January 2005 that broke both my legs. I have metal plates on both ankles & a rod in my right thigh. I was born on Long Island in NY, raised in Central Islip/Islandia, ranged through various parts of upstate NY in the Central NY/Fingerlakes region, and currently have escaped to MD. I have never lived in NYC or Washington, DC - but I have worked in both cities. I do not have, nor have I ever had a "Lawn Guyland" accent. I'm married to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} tth & we're happily going strong since 9/23/1995.We're owned by 2 cats: Kisha http://www.ravyn.com/aekpics/march18/kisha-fink.jpg & Athena http://www.ravyn.com/aekpics/march18/athena.jpg I had the dubious "honor" of being born the day that President John F. Kennedy was buried. With the attendant claim by my mother's obstetrician that she got him out of the funeral services at his local synagogue. Personally, I prefer to think of it as having been born two days after The Doctor announced his existence on Earth. Other interesting facts about my birthday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_25 I became involved in gaming in high school when a friend introduced me to Blue-Book Basic D&D. Since then, my repertoire has expanded considerably to include most of the major systems available. In the mid 90's, I found a letter requesting play-testers for Chivalry & Sorcery 3rd edition on the wall of a local game store. The request was answered and as a result I earned several publishing credits as a play-tester, author/designer and editor. In 1999, my husband and I formed Mystic Station Designs, LLC. This is a small company devoted to distributing various game systems (C&S and BITS among others) and publishing additional supplementary gaming material under its own banner. http://mysticstation.com/ I'm also a 3rd degree Wiccan Priestess, able to perform marriages and other life ceremonies in NY, MD & VA, & serving in the EarthWalk Spiritual Ministry. http://www.earthwalkspiritualministry.org/ My Day Job is usually in Technical Support. Right now I'm the Deskside Technical Support Dispatcher @ NASA in DC. Yes, That NASA. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/hq/home/index.html I'm currently off the "front lines" of Technical Helpdesk work, but I did do my time there. (Roughly 20 years, thank you.) I can even say "Been There, Done That & got the t-shirt!" thanks to Shark Tank & Mother's Day: http://www.computerworld.com/action/sharktank.do?command=viewDailyFull&date=20020621 (I'm admitting to this one because it's been more than 10 years since the events depicted occurred.) I have been spotted online at http://www.geocities.com/lady_aylinn/ and http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?randomfriend=aylinn  IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: This Blog is my personal venting space. Anything can & will be posted here. As my Yahoo quote says: "I will do what I HAVE to, sometimes even what I am TOLD to, BUT. I formally reserve the right to gripe about it!" And I do a LOT of griping, kvetching & bitching. I'm entitled to whine a bit - I bring my own cheese! (Look up the last name on google.) Needless to say, my LJ opinions & commentary are mine alone. These opinions are only valid at the time they are posted. In NO way are they official commentary for anyone BESIDES myself. In point of fact, they may not even be MY official commentary anymore, if you quiz me on them at a later date. ;) -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT/O d-(-)@>+ s+:(+)>++ a+ C++$@>$ U>$ P+?
