Name: Monique M.
Location: Canada. Prairie. Oil and shopping malls and city planners who didn't graduate fifth grade... You know. ;)
Hobbies: reading, gardening, vegan/vegetarian cooking, botanical photography, and I also do pretty much all the other normal things people do, like watch movies and offensive television, spend money wantonly, eat babies and the lot.
Note: I totally mean to expand this page sometime, but honestly, I hate talking about myself... so let's name drop! None of these name-dropping lists are exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination.
