My name is Jill Ann Bal, but I like to go by Kite. As my sidebar says, I'm website designer, writer, and overall geek.
I've been married for nearly 5 years to the same wonderful man, who also happens to be a geek. We have a little boy by the name of Adam,
who has just become a toddler and attends daycare.
I have worked as an office manager, receptionist, operations assistant, IT manager, webmaster, general projects manager, and the
list goes on. Currently work for one of the last knitting mills left in the United States where I manage the website, the IT department,
some operations, and our two largest customers. Yes, we knit hats. It's kind of funny
considering I seem to wear all different sorts of hats for this one job. Silver lining is the fact that the klepto in me is
constantly satisfied with new hats, scarves, and other knits.
Web Designing is my hobby turned profession. Writing is my hobby turned ... well, it's still a hobby. I am capable of original
works, but I have a bad habit of writing fanfiction. It can be the ultimate high to take existing charaters you're in love with
and give them a enhanced background story or side story that reveals more about their character. Fanfiction is also known as writing
for a 'fandom'. My two greatest fandoms have been Star Wars (for obvious reasons), and a cartoon by the name of
Storm Hawks (which actually has a lot in common with Star Wars). But those are another discussion entirely.
Odd facts about me
- I'm actually a spiritual person
- An Aquarius to the bone and thoroughly eccentric
- I drive a Scion XB - Series 6
- I RPG online
Where to find me...
