I'm a somewhat typical 26 year old journeyman electrician, who lives in Nashville, TN, USA. I work standard 40 hour weeks, and try and get what overtime I can handle (not to mention those great-paying side jobs). Shortness runs in my family, for my mother only stands 4'11"... I too am somewhat on the short side, measureing only 5'6"... go figure. I live with my foxy lady, and four cats. My oldest cat passed away almost a year ago. I do have pictures of her though, her name was Divia. Our moma-cat also has her mug online, her name is Caylith. And yes, me and my foxy have been married since December 31st 2005, and we are soon to celebrate our second aneversary.
I am furry. For those of you who do not know what furry is... or what it means. Let me try and explain. A furry (also called simply a 'fur') is a person (read, regular human) who has certain tendancies and personality traits (social type, disposition, etc) that is like an animal. In my case, I grew up with 10 cats as siblings, or atleast very close friends. And to this day I have a few tendancies learned from them. For example, I shake my feet dry, dont like falling water on my head, lick my plate/bowl clean, and purr when content. I am a furry. More specifically... of the Lynx breed. You see, my father has always been the Lynx-like one... my mother, always the domestic feline type. As such, I'm a hybrid. I have the fur, tufted ears, etc of a lynx, but have a long, black tipped tail, like a domestic. Unlike the bob tail of full lynx children =^.^=

The Love of my Life. Her name is Tasha, and she is a fox. My foxy lady she is to me, and most kind, loveing, gentle, and understanding as a person can be. She is most simply, the one I love. Has been there for me repetadly in the past, and I for her, we trust each other completely, a rare thing in this day and age... And yea, she is cute. =^.^= Pictures of her, and of us together.
Lets just say... normal, if a bit more hairy (fur laden) than most. As you can see in the pictures I have here, nothing extrodinary. Just your typical TN working class Lynx. Pictures of Me.
One of my major hobbies, and interests, is obviously computers. I am somewhat of a computer geek, and in fact I was in IT before going into electrical contracting. I use Linux for my home computer, Gentoo Linux with KDE3 for my window manager, for those who know what I'm talking about. Its a Intel Celeron 1.80GHz, with 382M of RAM onboard, a 40gig HD and a 200gig HD. I do however, have two monitors working on it. Usually use one for my controlling terminals, the other for browsing the web in Firefox, and doing Misc. chat stuff. I can also, for example, watch a movie on one of em, while doing everything else on the other. I hope to be able to add a serial terminal, or a full third monitor as well, all dependant on time/$$$ two things I dont have much of.
I also get a world of enjoyment out of snow skiing, I'm what they consider 'expert' or thereabouts. My favorite place to go skiing is Copper Mountain Colorado. Some Pictures from my most recent trip.
I guess, you could call me a fur of many skills/hobbies. For I also greatly enjoy rideing horses. On one of my past jobs, that I have done, is out at Indian Creek Camp. Its a summer camp I even went to in my kitten years. So they all know me there. I got to work as an electrician doing the big addition to the dineing hall there. So, they let me ride the summer camp horses. Even took off with the wrangler one day, I took my favorite horse, Sandy, and he took his horse, Roy, and we covered all the camp's land (well over 100acres total). I used to ride alot more in my kitten years, but I still got the hang of it, and we had fun doing everything from galloping, to just walkin all arround the trails, and off the trails of the property. These are some pictures I got a friend to snap of me and Sandy. This was a day just arround the corral, but we were riding bareback, which makes the jumping there in the corral a bit more exciting =~.^= Anyways, the work is hard, but rewarding, and at this one job it was fun to be able to kick back for a bit. Anyways here are the pictures of Leonato and Sandy the Horse.
Online, I can apear many places. On IRC, I own and operate the Red Dragon Inn. Which is, at the moment, housed on irc.sorcery.net, in the channels #RedDragonInn, #TirahNosti, #Elsewhere, and OOC chat in #rpgclub. It also has its own web-page presence at www.reddragoninn.com, and a good healthy ammount of Forum RolePlaying happens there, of which I am a part. My nickname of course in IRC always being 'Leonato', no matter what network you see me on. I also apear on irc.oftc.net in the #linuxhelp channel, givin help to linux newbies. And in Planet Furry's IRC presence, on lion.anthrochat.net in the channel #PlanetF. I am a devout user of Planet Furry, it is a warm community, that has welcomed me with open arms. It is the reason I have done the recordings, and certainly a place I gladly spend a lot of my time at. I also have my desktop set to an official PF desktop image, to show my support. For non IRC chat I use 'GAIM', its an 'all in one' client for Linux, that is VERY stable, and very reliable. I can do AIM/YIM/ICQ/MSN, and could add more if asked to. Here are the myriad ways ya can get in touch with me on: AIM=LeonatoLynx YIM=rdisleonato ICQ=190976054 and MSN=leonatolynx@hotmail.com. And, as a passing mention... I type 80WPM or thereabouts. I have also compiled a website I simply call the 'rootsite'. It contains many documents, that I belive to be true. Showing various political, and social views. Many of the items there are very well writen (much better than I could manage on my own), and I suggest takeing the time to read some of them. I also have a LiveJournal, at: http://www.livejournal.com/users/leonatolynx/. The e-mail most likely to get a responce from me is rdisleonato@whatkindofspamdoyoutakemefor.yahoo.com (remove whatkindofspamdoyoutakemefor, from e-mail to send) =~.^=
