"the meaning of life is to be loving and open-minded and full of spunk."

Hi there! Welcome to stjarna.com. My name is Shannon and I've been doing this web thing for over thirteen (!) years. Lately, I've been pondering the purpose of a personal web site. Vanity online is an odd creature...
Since you're here, I might as well tell you a little bit about myself.
- I love photography, especially nature scenes. I moved to San
Francisco eight years ago which has changed my life in countless ways, including
giving me gorgeous nature scenes on a daily basis. ;)
- I love to travel. In October 2005, I finished my quest to visit all 50
states (last state: Montana). Next up, all seven continents? (Only four left to
go...)
- I like almost anything with silver stars (which helps to explain stjarna), and in
1994, a group of amazing friends had a star named after me.
- I'm a media junkie. ;) I like music, though not to the extent I was a
decade ago (and my bank account is grateful). I also enjoy movies and books and magazines and
fun web sites. :)
- I'm striving to be more crafty and always learn new things. I enjoy
cooking and trying new restaurants (always wishing for good Greek and
Cajun restaurants to set up in the Bay Area!).
- Many years ago, I started collecting quotes and lyrics, enjoying when
I've found someone else's words describe a situation I know well.
Random quote o' the moment:
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
let him step to the music which he hears,
however measured or far away."
--- Henry David Thoreau, "Walden"
