Now that we have this wonderful place where we can introduce ourselves, I thought I would formally introduce myself and tell everybody a little bit about me.
My real name is Mary but online I go by the name owlwatcher_974. I got the name owlwatcher because I used to watch the owls fly up at my mom’s house. I added the 974 because there is at least one other person on the net who uses the name owlwatcher. Several people have asked me what the 974 in my name stands for. Sometimes people think it’s the year I was born but it’s actually the numbers from the license plate of a car I used to own. The car was a 1974 Pontiac and, somehow, the numbers on the plate wound up being 974.
I am 40 years old and I live in Southern California, with my roommate, two kitty brats (Shiva and Mamma Kitty) and one puppy brat (a 6 yr. old German Sheppard mix named Trinity).
I just recently went back to the local community college to get a degree in Computer Information Technology and I am hoping to transfer to the state college later on.
My interests are: computers, owls, music, writing, church, bowling, video games and pinball just to name a few. Probably a hundred other things I could add to that list but I can’t think of them right now.
