Miri doesn't much like talking about herself, but under duress, she would tell you that she's not that much different than any other female gaming enthusiast with an online presence. When she doesn't have a controller in her hand or a mouse at her fingertips, she's rolling dice and enjoying make-believe stories about fairies, wizards and dragons. Protip: The quickest way to impress Miri is to indulge her unhealthy obsession with fairies.
A former English teacher, Miri gave it up when she discovered that while she enjoyed teaching the language, she was not as enthusiastic about teaching English Lit. Instead, she makes her money as a computer technician and office administrator, often at the same time.
Miri lives in British Columbia, Canada, with her girlfriend and her cat. She loves pretentious-sounding labels and frequently uses selections like "polyamorous homoromantic bisexual" to describe herself. She's a bit of a new-age hippie chick, which really just means that she's a sort of hipster-in-denial, just... without the glasses.
As a Sub-Admin, she does not suffer fools lightly and has little patience for those who would inject negativity into the site she loves. Since joining in 2007, Miri has made a great many wonderful friends, many of whom have passed through that ethereal online barrier to become fixtures in her real-world life.
