» Work: Currently unemployed. I do art commissions

» Where I Can Be Found: When not at work, I'm more than likely at home, painting miniatures, knitting, doing some crosswords, making jewelry with my mom, playing a video game (either on the PS4, Switch, or on the computer; Katamari Damacy is a recurring favorite and I'm all over Final Fantasy XV, FFXIV, Breath of the Wild, and various visual novels like DRAMAtical Murder), watching streams, playing D&D, or working on my current website/obsession. I don't go out too much lately, but I love Outback Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse, and Chipotle. I'm also sometimes found in Akron, visiting my best friend, and even more rarely in New York to see Broadway shows. And sometimes in other countries as well...

» Random Weirdness: My last name is now a domain name. The company in question is Thalner Electronic Labs, formerly run and originally founded by my grandfather; it weirds me out nonetheless. Why couldn't they have registered TEL or somesuch?

» And in case you were wondering: Jazmer is the name of one of my most treasured roleplaying characters. I chose the domain name because she means a lot to me. There is also a band named Jazmer, and I apologize to them for getting the domain first.
