Who am I?

Hmm, let's see. Long story short:
My name is a combination of part of my first name stuck on to my middle name & I really do answer to "Dylea". I'm not positive where my head was at when I made my KoL name, but the "Metal Weaver" is a reference to one of my hobbies: making maille (or chain mail, if you prefer) jewelry and what-nots. I've been on KoL quite a while, but had to take a break for a while due to offline issues.
I have red hair, green eyes, am almost painfully shy, have a hot temper (but
usually get over it quickly), can hold a grudge on occasion, I haven't danced on anyone's grave yet (but could make an exception to that if I wasn't a couple thousand miles away from my ex-husband's <evil smirk>), I am a couple years younger than dirt, owned by 3 cats, and I'm co-caregiver for my father-- which means despite my age, I live with my parents.
I'm addicted to books (my bedroom looks sorta like the public library with a cot & a tv, as I have book cases on 3 & a half of the 4 walls-- we won't mention the bookcases in the hallways or other rooms.

). I love orchids and have a small collection growing in the house.
Yes, that was the
short version. Trust me, I'm keeping this brief, but I tend to ramble a bit. Or more than a bit. Or... nevermind.
So, hello and nice to meet you all (eventually, maybe)!
