Hey everyone, Mary C. Tripp or The Planet Mary here, welcome to my ff.net page. Hope y'all are here for a certain reason. because if it's not the right one then...sorry can't help ya.

I'm twenty one years old... and it does feel old. And live down here in the midwest, on the Kansas and Missouri border and right in the middle of Tornado Alley (I love tornadoes and Gary Lezak, he is the man and his little weather-gasms...). I'm Irish Italian with the stubborn, determined, compeitive attitude and temper to match.

I aspire to be an officer for the Police Department of Missouri (possibly in Montana sometime in the future). I hope to either end up in Homicide, Narcotics or the K-9 unit for my career with he PD. I am currently looking into joining the academy class for Spring of 2010 and in the same year being established in a local department for patrol and uniform work before testing into a specialty squad. I'm hitting the gym, have the majority of a degree in Criminal Justice (Police Sciences) done and I'm looking at defense classes in preparation for academy.

I have great respect and interest in the Southwest and West. Including the history (good and bad), culinary, national sports, geology, biology and culture, especially in the Native American and equestrian culture of the regions. This is why most of my original characters and stories are in/from the Southwest and typically are Native American in heritage (though I am not myself). I try to remain as realistic to the area and culture, including the current and historically resident Native tribes, including geography, language, wildlife and so on, please forgive any inaccuracies or stretches to fit my imaginary designs.

I am an equestrian, have been an equestrian all my life and will remain absolutely obsessed with horses until the day I die. I participate mainly in Western style riding, mostly trail and pleasure riding with intention of advancing towards reining, barrel racing and cutting with time and experience. I am especially draw towards American founded breeds; the American Quarter Horse, the Pony of the Americas, the American Mustang but am particularly fond of and obsessed with the American Paint Horse and the Appaloosa. As well as draft horses; the Clydedale, the Percheron (I LOVE Percherons), the American Cream Draft, the Belgian and the Gypsy Vanner/Irish Tinker. This is why most if not all my stories contain horses at one point or another, particularly those breeds. I probably know more about horses and get along better with horses than i do anything or anyone else.

I currently own two American Paint Horses that are both registered with the APHA. Ricka's Magic Song (Magic) is a breederstock black overo mare that is 11 years old this October. I have been with her for five years now and she is my sis, she's my near bombproof horse and I can take her anywhere. I plan on eventually breeding her out to an overo stallion to start my own bloodline. Seh has shown a natural talent for cutting and cow work. I also own Willie Damerius (Voodoo) who is a black overo gelding with a little coloring and one blue eye. He's going to be five years old this year. He shows some signs and behavior of being abused and i am currently helping him to trust people again and rebreaking him to ride. He has the build and intelligence to be a great reining or barrel horse and I have yet to try him out with cattle.

TELEViSiON: I have particular interests and obsessive love for SUPERNATURAL and LAW AND ORDER: CRiMiNAL iNTENT currently as well as on again off again interest in CRiMiNAL MiNDS and LAW AND ORDER:SPECiAL ViCTiMS UNiT and I look forward to checking out SOUTHLAND. I am also very fond of the PBS hit ANTiQUES ROADSHOW. In the past I have loved watching THiRD WATCH.

MOViES: Well... damn near anything with a horse or centered around horses. I especially like black and white Westerns and and war movies from the thirties, forties and fifties. HiDALGO, SEABiSCUiT, and BLACK BEAUTY are all favorites. I also like horror movies. Especially the HANNIBLE series. I'm a sucker for anything PiXAR has made or ever will made and I have a new love affair with the STAR TREK:2009 movie.

BOOKS: I have a love for memoirs, especially by soldiers, police and equestrians as well as studies made on the criminology, criminal psychology, criminal mind and criminal behavior. favorites of mine are TAO OF EQUUS and ANGELA'S ASHES as well as WiTH THE OLD BREED: AT PELiLUE AND OKiNAWA. I had some interest in the Harry Potter series up until the seventh book, I thought it was terrible.

STUDY: Criminal law, criminal psychology, criminology, sociology, psychology and equestrian.

SPORTS: I cannot live without the NFL and the MLB. I'll root with ugly love for my home teams the KANSAS CITY CHEiFS and the ROYALS. But I also love the HOUSTAN TEXANS, the ARiZONA CARDiNALS and ARiZONA DiMONDBACKS.

FiREARMS: I love guns and hunting of all kinds but I have specific love for the .50 AE DESERT EAGLE, BERETTA 9 MiLLiMETER, COLT 1911 and all kinds of rifles and shotguns.

FiCTiON: Of course I'm into seeing what people like to write about SUPERNATURAL but for the most part but I'll glance at a little bit of everything. That affair with STAR TREK:2009 has me looking that that page everyday, too.

i CAN'T LiVE WiTHOUT: A pair of good fitting jeans, my favorite flannel shirt and a soft knit sweater. A study pair of boots and a saddle that your children's children will be able to use. A truck that that can haul as much hay, straw and grain as well as a trailer. Solid ground. A good book, a cup of bitter coffee or sweet tea and spring morning in the hammock. A cold beer and a shot of tequila. A notebook and a pen and of course a good horse.

THE MEANiNG OF LiFE iS A GOOD HORSE, STRONG COFFEE, AND FRiENDS STRONG ENOUGH TO RiDE NEXT TO YOU ON ROCKY TRAiLS.
