| + | == Real Life == |
| + | |
| + | A Colorado native growing up just north of Denver, Dayle grew up with both sides of her family all within a radius of a few miles. She graduated from the same high school as both of her parents, making many teachers feel old as they recognized her last name. |
| + | |
| + | Her family has a summer cabin near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary%27s_Glacier St. Mary's Glacier] that was built by her grandfather back in the 1960's. |
| + | |
| + | Dayle graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from [http://www.mscd.edu Metropolitan State College of Denver]. She graduated just 6 weeks shy of her 30th birthday, having attended college while working full-time and paying her own tuition. |
| + | |
| + | She works full time copying medical records, a job which affords her the luxury of setting her own hours but requires her to be well-versed with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Insurance_Portability_and_Accountability_Act HIPAA]. |
| + | |
| + | == Hockey == |
| + | |
| + | Dayle's standard internet handle comes from a joke made by a friend during a particularly brutal hockey game back in 2000. Down by several goals, Dayle refused to let her team give up, and tried using inspirational quotes to rile them up. While she normally was a stay-at-home defenseman, with nothing to lose Dayle decided to go for glory and challenged a much more talented player at the blueline - managing to steal the puck in the process. She blazed down the ice and scored her first (and not surprisingly, last) goal ever. Her friend dubbed her the Blueline Goddess, a name which Dayle put into use not long after. |
| + | |
| + | Dayle loves her Colorado Avalanche, routinely attending around 20 games per year. |
| + | |
| + | == Horses == |
| + | |
| + | Dayle owns a 17-year-old American Quarter Horse mare named Mollys Baby Pearls. Dayle first started working with Molly in 1993, when Molly was just 2 months old. Molly was purchased as a birthday present (spanning over several years) in 1995, and Dayle trained Molly herself. Molly spends her days on 20 acres of land near Elizabeth, Colorado. |
| + | |
| + | In addition to the real pony, Dayle also collects model horses - most notably [http://stonehorses.com/ Peter Stone] and [http://www.breyerhorses.com Breyer] models. A project of hers that never seems to be complete is the complete pictoral cataloging of [http://picasaweb.google.com/dayle.steinke her collection]. |
| + | |
| + | == Relationship == |
| + | |
| + | Dayle and [http://speedrunwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Steve_Bryze Steve] met on TKEP back in 2003, but they wouldn't fall for each other until 2005. On a whim and a lot of hope, Dayle flew out to meet Steve. They met on July 22, 2005 and it was love at first sight for both of them. They began a long-distance relationship that spanned over 3 1/2 years, flying out to see each other whenever they could get time off of work (which wasn't very often). On February 14, 2009 Steve told Dayle he was going to move to Colorado to be with her. After a wonderful vacation together in Florida (where they met [[DK]] and [[QB]]), they packed up Steve's belongings in his car and drove from Indianapolis to Denver, encountering blizzards and the vast waste of space and sanity known as Kansas. |
