Hi Everyone!
I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
