The Lensography of Silvara Wilde
The Usual Information
I'm 4'11", with straight hair past my butt. This means I frequently get mistaken for much younger than my 31 years. How many 31-year-olds can say they get given the 12-and-under menu at restaurants and offered a lollipop?! *laughs* This has amused friends and family to no end over the years, it used to be a game. Find a restaurant we'd never gone to before, and see how old the server thought I was.

Interests
I also love to swim, go horseback riding, ice and roller skate, read, spend Way Too Much Time on the computer, and hang out with friends.
My favorite ice cream in the world is Ben and Jerrys Wavy Gravy. Unfortunately, they discontinued it years ago. It was caramel, cashews, brazil nuts, all swirled together in vanilla ice cream. They keep saying if enough people Request They Bring It Back they will. But it was discontinued in 2003 and I haven't seen them resurrect it yet.
I'm also addicted to nearly everything Peter Pan. I've loved that mythos ever since I was a small child. I must have more than 20 versions of the book, as well as other books written in that world by other authors. I played both Twins in my high school play senior year, and it was such a blast!
I also love and collect My Little Ponies. I have over 300 from the 80's, plus a number of the playsets. I have less than 15 of the newest version, but they look much more like the origional than any of the versions that came between. So I may start picking up a few here and there.
Anime is another thing I am addicted to. My favorite over-all that I've seen so far is Fushigi Yugi. I also like Fruits Basket, Utena, Saber Marionette J, Ranma, Kenshin, Inuyasha, and others. I love it so much, I created an amazon store dedicated to Anime, Manga, and 80's toys. Silver Fantasy Anime

My Pets
I have 2 cats, sisters from the same litter. I got them in late 2002 when they were 6 weeks old and on their way to the pound. On Halloween day. They came from a litter of 7, all female, all calico, and all but the runt were polydactyl. That means they had more than the usual number of toes. That is apparently a normal mutation in siamese.
Miles is the short-haired one, she's dilute calico. And while she is every bit as stubborn as her sister, she also usually does what she is told. Even if she knows she's going to the vet (which she Hates!) she comes when I call her. She is deffinately the one in charge, as if her sister doesn't listen to me when she's in trouble, Miles will run up and smack her across the back of the head with her paw! She loves when I sing Phantom to her, and will climb into my lap and paw at my face if I stop.
Kaylynn is a total brat child. She even answers if I yell "Brat child!" She never comes when called, and when she gets in trouble she assumes one of her 'aren't I so cute?' poses. She was the runt of the litter and is the only one that had the normal number of claws. She also got the siamese love of talking. While Miles hardly ever speaks, Kaylynn only shuts up if she's asleep!
I also have a 55-gallon tank, and 2 20-gallon tanks. In one 20, I have 4 female betta, 3 mystery snails, and 3 oto catfish. In the other, I have 6 longfin danios (3 leopard and 3 gold), 1 cory catfish, and 3 yo-yo loaches. The 55 isn't set up yet, but it will hold a Black Ghost Knife fish, which has been my most wanted fish for 3 years now. You can read about 3 of my betta, and the mystery snails in my lenses below. The newest betta is named Insanity. This is because when I went to add her to my sorority tank she promptly came out in mating stripes, dropped a load of eggs, and then tried to kill my top betta. Thus a partition has been added to keep her away from the others. She wasn't a planned purchase, she was given to me by a friend who knew I had betta already. Luckily I had an extra tank! I'd put her in the 10 with the snails and danios, but all my betta seem to like the snail food better than their own. And turn into little floating blimps if they eat even a mouthful of it.

Of course I don't want to make you sad and frankly, I had no idea what a "lens" was. I got to your web page on a deep Google search. So, consider me enlightened. Interesting "lensography" you have here. And....sure you can order from the "Kid's Menu", but also hope that you can ride the roller coaster! :)
Enjoy the New Year!

Wow, this is a super lensography. I really enjoyed it and enjoyed learning about you and your lenses and passions. Loved your cat pictures. We have two calicos and also have lots of fish but they are in an outside pond. We have a turtle (red eared slider) in the aquarium so have to keep the filers cleaned out regularly and water changed. Looking forward to reading more of your lenses.
