"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 fourteen (!) 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 really enjoy travelling. Driving through seven states when I moved out to California, I decided I wanted to see the rest of the United States. I finished my quest to visit all 50 states on October 29, 2005 when I visited Montana. I hit 23 states in one year! Next up, all seven continents? (Only four 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:
"Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun."
--- Kierkegaard
