About Me
My name is Nicole, but both online and off I go by Cole and other variations there-of (Colio, Nicolean and Oscar). Online, I have gone by the names anaesthetic and LadyCrow. I was born on the last day of May in 1986, which makes me 24 years old and kind of your stereotypical Tiger/Gemini.
I am currently living in Central Wisconsin in an apartment with one of my best friends. I have two cats, Phantom and Goliath who are less than 1 year of age. Phantom is a beautiful Russian Blue and Goliath is a silky domestic shorthair in black.
I love to write, and although I do not write as much as I used to, I’d love to get something I wrote published. I believe that I have some talent, but nothing great. I write stories, articles, reviews and poetry, but anyone who knows me knows that I quickly quit what I start. Finished projects aren’t my department. My written works can be found at Lyrical Musings.
I also like to occasionally sing (and dance around the house when no one is looking). I am a fan of board and card games. I often see pictures, paintings, and drawings in my mind but one of my biggest problems is creating. You can ask me, but I do, and always will, tell you that I’m not an artist. However, the artist in me is never completely happy with what I create, and in the end I will always be on to another, bigger project.
One of my artsier hobbies is that of web design and maintenance. However, I tend to revel more in the coding side of that. I have found that I excel creatively only within some guidelines which, if you really think about it, isn’t that creative.
I rationalize a lot. I will come up with reasons for everything I do, everything my friends do, and even everything my mother does. I need a reason. I always need to ask “why?” This may be the cause of my tendency to overthink things which, in the end, only causes more hassle and torments me from the inside out.
I spend much of my time on the computer, web designing, reading online comics, and at forums. I love to be involved in different communities and do so in many different capacities.
One of the most important aspects of my life in my interest in music and I spend much time with my headphones on, or listening to music on the computer. In sixth grade I was drawn to it by an unexplainable force. Since then I’ve been listening to local radio stations, buying CD’s, and downloading songs as much as possible. I also think that whoever invented MTV Rock is perhaps an ingenious person, and whoever took it away should be shot.
My favorite for quite some time was Metallica. I find that I love music that’s fun and have found myself becoming increasingly attracted to pop and dance tunes. My favorite artists include Pat Benatar, Metallica, Cold, Elvis, Depeche Mode, Sarah Mclachlan, Tim McGraw, Queen, Within Temptation, Pink, Matchbox Twenty and A Perfect Circle. My interests are extremely varied and cross many genres. I enjoy country as much as I do pop or hard hitting metal or rock ballads.
Currently I am self employed as a freelance writer. Most of my income comes from Demand Studios.
Another important character to mention here is my kitty, Floppy. (= He currently lives with Mom and Tim and I miss him, but he has a happy life where he can eat and sleep and bask in his 35-pound orange glory!
