Mike aka PageDollMy name is Mike (Pagedoll). I live in sunny southern California and am a San Diego native.

My hobbies include, Kicking up the sand in Glamis, “The sand toy capital of the world”. Cruising the beach on my bike. Occasionally racing ABA BMX at the local track, as well as a few nationals. Indoor go-karting, a swift round of paintball, and of course, hanging out on the HotForWords site.

My job is in the construction field, hardwood flooring sand & finish to be exact. I’ve been finishing floors for a little over 20 years now and take great pride in the work I do. My attention to detail has allowed me to work in some of the finest(and biggest) homes in San Diego.

I came across the HFW site over a year ago while clicking through YouTube for the very first time and have been hooked ever since. After watching I said to my self, “This girl is going places”. How understated that was. In the past year I’ve watched Marina go from a kitchen as a background to a blue screen, HD, and Twitpics from Cannes. Something tells me this adventure is far from over! Thank you Marina for taking us all along for the ride with you, its been a blast!!

People have often asked me about my screen name and its origins. This is my brief explanation. I have a wonderful friend named Page. I’ve known her my whole life and care about her as if she were my little sister.

We like going to concerts together, visiting Las Vegas every now and again for a weekend of madness, trying out fancy restaurants, watching episodes of Entourage, and just hanging out. Some words I would use to describe Page would be, beautiful, astute, elegant, witty, charming, and yes, Doll. As for the gravatar, Cinderella, in some ways, reminds me of her.

The equivalent to the world’s total population in the year 1 A.D.! If I was living back then, then every single person in the entire world would have seen my videos, but would they all have had Internet? Hmmmm…I wonder… Oh.. sorry.. got off track there!

Anyway, I will make a video shortly thanking you all!  But, with toxic black mold taking over my apartment, then zombies eating my head, followed by me having to move out of my apartment (still headless?) to escape the mold.. and now a FULL MOON hitting tomorrow, it will be a miracle if ever manage to make that video!!!

In the mean time, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making me reach that milestone!  You all ROCK, I love you!
