The Obligatory "About Me" Page

Above is an example of my own, original artwork. Yes, I DREW that--by hand, mind you, not computer. It's not one of my best but I thought I'd show it to the 'net world anyway. The two characters are Lady Keela Shanri (left) and Ranger Lufa Caldoni, on the right. So now you know what your Webmistress "looks" like...



Okay, if you've waded through all the stuff at this site so far (and more to come, I can promise you that!) you are probably wondering by now--just who IS "Keela Shanri"? And what is up with this chick--does she REALLY think she is an alien or something?
The answer is, no, I don't. My real name is Tiffany J. Knox and I'm an American but I spell things the British way because I feel like it. I just happen to have become hooked on Babylon 5 very recently, so I decided to make this page. I noticed that there were plenty of Minbari pages, and a Narn homeworld page, but practically NOTHING for my very favourite race, the Centauri. Well, I found some page names, but the links were all dead. So I decided to make this site to help fill a very unfortunate void.
The traditional thing to do with an "About Me" page is to post a picture of yourself, but in case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly traditional. So I'll just describe myself instead: 5 feet NO inches, pale complexion, shaggy medium brown hair (no, I'm NOT really bald!), greenish-greyish-blueish eyes (it depends on the lighting and what colour(s) I'm wearing), about 105 pounds, and small boned, with glasses. I tend to wear colourful clothes and to be out of style on PURPOSE. I'm left-handed (like Sheridan and Garibaldi, from the show) and I was born in 1974.
I love '80s music and some '80s clothes and have a rapidly-growing collection of the former. I enjoy creative writing, reading, science fiction and fantasy, ancient world history, role-playing games, drawing, and bicycling.
As for how I got hooked on B5--that's gonna go on another page, which will be about B5 in general as well. Stay tuned.
My alter-ego "Keela" is a Centauri character I made up for a B5 RPG--which then fell through, leaving her with nothing to do. So I gave her a job--make up a website! I think she's doing a pretty decent job so far, considering this thing only went up on September 25, 1998, don't you? If you wanna know what she looks like, go check the Royal Court page. I have a picture I drew of her but no scanner, so that description will have to do for now.
And...I am also responsible for anything "Emperor Cartagia" says around here. Of course, I did not make up THAT character--J. Michael Straczynski did--but I sorta adopted him as my favourite villain on the entire show because of his dashing, flambouyant costumes, his campy mannerisms, and his creepy/funny, lightning-fast mood swings. I thought it was a shame he only lasted 5 episodes. Here, he will live on (in a way) and constantly make sarcastic comments and corny jokes in an attempt to spice up this site.
And finally, on a real-life note, I would like to thank my brother Matthew for helping me with some of the technical stuff involved in getting this site put together.
If you're still awake after all this, I commend you! Now go outside and get some excercise!
