My real name is Sherry Champion,
(Hence the choice of midi for this page *L*) I'm 160cm tall, have very long black hair (recently dyed - incase you remember when this said red or brown hair *L*) and grey eyes. I'm 26 years
old, and living with a wonderful man, called Kim. (and I look nothing like this pic *L*)
We live in a small city, called Timaru, which has a population of about 26 000, which is situated on the east coast, of the south island,
of New Zealand and is about 45mins from the mountains, about 2 hrs from the inland lakes and about 2 minutes from the beach *G*.
Timaru is famous for a lot of things:
Jack Lovelock - New Zealand's first official world record holder
Phar Lap - A world famous race horse (who's it is believed was poisoned because he was unbeatable)
Richard Pearce - The first person in the world to fly...yes, before the Wright Brothers
Well, not any more. We've just shifted to Wellington, as Kim has got a job with IBM there. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, and has a population of around 400 000 people. Wellington has been a big shock for me...it's HUGE. It has huge 3 lane highways, overbridges, and tunnuels, all of which I didn't encounter often when driving near Timaru. I've been lost soooo many times *L* Aside from that I like it so far *G*
I was working as a telemarketer, but am currently on maternity leave and Kim works as a Computer System Supervisor at the local paper.
Kim and I have two daughters, Rowan (named after the Anne McCaffrey character) who is 4 years old and Rhianna, our wee baby, who was born on the 29 April 1998, weighing in at 7lb 15oz. She is now 15 months old.

I also have a cute pet black cat, Rasputin, named for her 9 lives, who loves to spend her time sitting on my mouse pad, bitting my fingures whenever I reach for the mouse! *L*
My interests include reading fantasy
books, going to the gym, and of course chatting! *s*
To show what living in New Zealand is like, for the average person, I thought I might keep an online journal, of what I've been up to in the last couple of weeks
