Name: Elizabeth Chin
Bio: I grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii with my two older brothers and two little brothers (who were, by the way, extremely hairy and short). Just before I turned 12, I got uprooted and sent to Kona, Hong Kong, China, and the Philippines for a grand total of about half a year. We moved to Colorado after that, and I've been here ever since. I graduated high school at sixteen, and went straight into community college, where my self-unsurety coupled with my mom's premature empty nest syndrome ensured me a super-sophomore year.

There's many more, though! I like every genre but rap, country, and disco. Though bad singing like falsetto and screamo hacks me off too. (I am classically trained, after all.)

I've always enjoyed art, writing, drama, music,--almost every creative expression out there (though I've always been too tall and ungainly for dancing). I started this site on September 13, 2003, where it's been home to many different comics of pathetically short life--Anitales, Game Logic, Ki's Quest, Soul Gateway, and Mura Lake, to name a few. Eh, that's life. Better get used to it. I mean, before Simply Complicated,--which died too, for the record,--my record was 14 strips.
Thanks to deviantART, there's really little reason for me to upkeep this site except as a hobby. I'd probably go nuts without a site to mess around with. So, I still update here as often as I do on DA--minus journal entries and comment conversations, anyway.
