[Percy's Mom]

Hey! I'm Percy's Mom, PM, P, Percy, or if you want to go with my real name, it's Elizabeth, Liz, or Libby. I'm 30 years old, turning 31 on August 27th, and now that you know my birthday, I'll be expecting gifts.

Currently, I live in Richmond, VA surrounded by my very tight knit family (human and furry). Most of the time, I think the animals are the sanest among us. The humans in the household are Bruce and Gayle (my parents), Matt (my brother) who graces us with his presence occasionally when he can get leave, and myself. The furries are Jasper Arthur (beagle), Lancelot and Guenevere (cats), Percival a.k.a Percy, Morgana, and Lynnette (guinea pigs), and Branwynn (hamster). No, you're not seeing things, they are all named for characters in the Arthurian legend.

I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC, went to college in Greensboro, NC as a Pre-Med/Chemistry major with a Biology minor that became an English major, joined a service sorority, and moved to Richmond about 9 years ago when the cash ran out for tuitition.

I now work in Store Support/Help Desk for Circuit City. Basically, my team makes sure the equiptment keeps working. It's a boring job. For the first 6 years I was in Richmond, I worked in a Circuit City store as a Customer Service Manager, but I got tired of customers yelling at me for things that weren't my fault and throwing things at me (a DVD player missed my left ear by 2"), so in the middle of Hurricane Isabelle, I had my Store Director sign my transfer forms and came over to corporate. I'm still not sure if that was the best move. I could be an SD myself now living in Hawaii or something if I had stayed. C'est la vie!

I joined Cavy Cages in mid-May 2005 after buying Percy 2 months earlier and realizing that there was more I should be doing for him. Yep, I'm outted. I have a pet store pig. But I've been educated, and am still in the process of mending my pre-CC evil ways. In February 2006, after several months of reading, paying attention, absorbing information, and dispensing it back out to a plethora of CC newbies, I was deemed worthy to become a moderator.

My name here is pretty simple. I'm hardly creative with that sort of thing. Percy is my guinea pig. I'm his mom. I'm sure you can put it together. You'll mostly find me here, but occasionally, I pop into guinealynx or The Pigloo with this same name.
