Priorities change, so here’s a new “About Me” section for the 4 people a year who come on by.

I am all about these things:

• Diet Coke
• Having a fully charged iPhone at all times
• My scooter, Lola
• Living in Vancouver
• Wishing I was in London
• Wanting a pug and 9 more kittens
• Being an information architect in the mobile industry
• Taking pictures of things
• Embracing my inappropriateness
• Worrying about my chipped tooth
• Not having babies
• Procrastination over the workshop I’m supposed to be architecting

Holla.

Alright, time for an update.

Kimli at a Glance:

• I started my blog in 2001
• I live in regular Vancouver with 3 cats, 6 computers, 10 video game consoles, 2 scooters and one boy (hitched, not bred)
• I’m a technical writer by day, masked crime fighter by night
• I love Diet Coke
• I am painfully shy around people I don’t know
• Yes, they’re real and I’m aware I should probably cover up
• I do crafty things for fun like make pins out of porn and sometimes jewellery (not out of porn)
• I truly love Vancouver
• My life is often ridiculous but I wouldn’t change it for anything
• I don’t drink – allergic – but am not straight edge
• I am inappropriate
• I love genitals of all kinds
• EVERYTHING is a dirty joke to me
• I do not have or want children – I’m the president and founder of Team No Babies
• I am frequently outraged
• This list is little more than procrastination over the presentation I’m supposed to be writing

I suppose this is worth a shot: I’m looking for a job in the video game industry. Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated; I can be reached via this website or by email: kimli at this domain dot com.

Now, the obligatory “About Me” section:

The longer the meme sat here, the guiltier I felt.

Also, the random spike of people checking out this profile had something to do with it.

So, in a less bullet-pointy kind of way, I finally unleash About Kimli: Now with More Paragraphs!

My name is Kimli. I live in North Vancouver with three cats, one boy, many computers and 8 video game consoles. I like the following things:

• Bulleted lists (hey, I managed to get four short paragraphs in before I resorted to one)
• Scooters
• Video games
• Writing
• Diet Coke
• Snails
• Falling down

Delicious Juice Dot Com (née deeay.com) has been running since March 30th, 2001. I am a frequent updater – I try for at least 5 days a week, and often run the full seven. This makes for a lot of content, but I honestly do try to keep it interesting. You’ll rarely see updates about what I ate for lunch that day unless on my way there I fell off my scooter, saw some snails, played a video game, and was wronged in some outrageous way. I love to tell a good story, and things – be they bizarre, horrible, wonderful, painful or just plain ridiculous – often happen to me. What else is there to do but share it with the world? Nothing, that’s what.

Recurring Delicious Juice Dot Themes will include all of the above list and more. Those are the things I’m passionate about – for example, scooters. I ride a scooter, a 2006 Yamaha Vino 125 named Oscar the Lady Tickler. In 2007, I was emphatic enough to get my closest circle of friends on scooters as well, and now our group is six scoots strong. I love having people to ride with, but I’m also happy riding alone. Scooters are awesome.

I’m also a die-hard gamer. I’ve been part of professional gaming teams since 1997, starting with the original Clan PMS, QGirlZ, and most recently, the Girlz of Destruction. In addition to PC gaming, I’m a huge console fan. I spend most of my time divided between the 360 (gamertag: kimli), my DS and the Wii, but we also have a few Sony consoles thrown in for good measure not to mention the Sega Dreamcast and Genesis systems. I’ve played a lot of video games and I love to write, so I put the two together and started keeping track of what games I play and what I think of them. Also, I just needed an excuse to add more content to the site because frankly, there just aren’t enough words.

I like snails. I do not know why. I only recently discovered our garden has snails in it, and I spent most of the summer taking pictures of my little slimy friends.

Oh, I guess that’s one other thing I forgot to mention – I like taking pictures. I’m hard-pressed to call what I do “photography”, since I am friends with real live photographers and other people who actually know what they’re doing with a camera, but I take pictures of stuff I like and I post them on my Flickr account. I’ll never win awards or make money, but I like my photos – I think they turn out well, for the most part.

Falling down: I have a very high center of gravity and I fall down a lot. I’m also accident prone, so much so that I had a special bag made. I had to stop keeping track though; it seemed like the damn thing never went any higher than 7 or so.

So, yeah. Thanks for stopping by!

This “About Me” section is a little disjointed, but you’ll have to forgive me for that (mostly because I said so).
