Welcome!
[edit]I am a Southern California native— specifically Orange County. I grew up during most of my childhood years in Riverside County, and the heart of Orange County is where I continue to call home. I lived a few years, in the late 2000's, in Phoenix, Arizona where I got a different taste of life. I've been using Wikipedia, steadily, since 2004, and just now (January, 2013) have I decided to create a profile and finally start contributing— which makes the heart of this online encyclopedia. I'm here to learn, research, contribute— and have fun.
My username
[edit]One of my favorite trees is the Blue Jacaranda— a South American tree commonly seen lining many streets in the suburbs of Southern California. They are known for their purplish-blue flowers that bloom leading up to the summer months, and their large-sized woody seed pods. I have collected many seed pods over the years and presently maintain several successful seedlings and young trees in my backyard. So I wanted a unique username and I chose this. I am not an expert of this tree— so you won't find me doing any edits on it's page. 
Some of my Interests
[edit]I have a wide array of areas that catch my interests— including those on the hobby front. I love nature, specifically the outdoors. I have kept a large amount of different species of tarantulas for over twenty-five years. I also am an aficionado of Disney voice-over artists; I've studied those to as far back to some of Walt Disney's earliest works. I also am a huge Knott's Berry Farm history buff. One set of my great-grandparents were great friends to the Knott family as far back to the 1920s when they were neighbors in East Anaheim. I once had worked at Knott's, and got to know some of the Knott family and upper-management. I have a lot of historical data that I hope to add to there as well. Other areas of interest include planted terrariums, autograph collecting (huge collection there), cartooning, gardening and a host of others that would simply be too much to list here.
My views on Editing on Wikipedia
[edit]This is pretty much the deal— I contribute what I can, where I can. Wikipedia is not my life, nor do I make it a habit to edit on a frequent basis. To be brutally honest I don't care for edit/revert wars and arrogant editors & admins— especially those who are cavalier with their wordings as such in edit summaries. I despise aesthetically-edited content; it's painfully obvious when you see it— done to self-please the editor's own tastes.
