What to say? Well, there's a lot for me to say, but to sum it up in just a few sentences is like reading half a book or watching half a movie. I'm Wiccan and Christian (Methodist), I'm a singer/songwriter, I love to read, write, and do anything that involves creativity. I'd love nothing more than to do something with my writing and my music. Not to sound evil and mean, but I'm extremely tired of being "someone's big sister". I like to follow my own bliss! So sometimes I look clueless, but I know where I am in life and what I want to do, and that's something that I've accomplished on my own and it makes me very proud. I may not be rich and famous, but at least I can say, I did this or that! There was a time when I used to be a total recluse because of the people who used to seriously pick on me. I'm far from being that girl/woman anymore! No one is going to rain on my parade. *laughs and thinks about the movie, American Beauty* My motto for living these days is, "Bonny Tyme Pyrate"! A concept thought up by Emilie Autumn. Here's a tid bit on what a Bonny Tyme Pyrate is all about. Quoted by EA herself..."What is "BTP"? "BTP" is a bit of an experiment in how quickly a small group of people can create an international trend (think EGL, GLA, etc.), and you can be at it's forefront. "BTP" is all about nabbing elements from any and all eras and bringing them together to create a brand new look. Think of it as fashion time travel. The use of Old English spelling signifies the trend's leanings towards antiquity. And "Bonny"? Well, that just means you'll want to kiss your reflection in the bathroom mirror. So go on, help spread the word about "BTP", and be a fashion pioneer!

Good question...right now I'm just being a social butterfly. I've put my music and writing on hold. Not by choice because I have mad writer's block right now. So basically I'm just hanging out with my best friend in the whole wide world for the time being and contemplating.

I'm really good at developing an ego that I never use. HA HA HA! I'm "really" good at screwing up things. Example: breaking my poor computer because it's being pushed to its limit with all my music, writing, and computer art. Some say I'm really good at writing, singing, and performing. I don't like to judge myself because I know that no matter what I do, it'll never be perfect. I'm a horribly obsessive compulsive woman.

My hair. That's being a bit vague, but in my case, people either notice how long my hair is and how "not so thin" I am. A lot of people have told me I have very expressive eyes and lovely pouty lips (which was also a great "Pick on the freaky girl with big lips"...yet another ironic situation! I get tired of that crap! You can't judge a book by its cover. I forgot to mention that usually people notice how I carry myself. Even though I'm full-figured, I like to show that it doesn't bother me. Smile, and the whole world smiles with you! Lame excuse, but what can I say? I'm lame sometimes. Let's see, long red hair (natural redhead and damn proud of it! People actually used to pick on my red hair when I was little...how ironic is that?), dog collar, pentacle and Goddess pendents, nose ring, eyebrow ring, tongue ring, and a few tattoos. I used to dress real Gothy, but I've calmed down quite a bit. But given an endless amount of money, not saying I would rob you blind if you're rich, I don't care about money. I'm just saying, if I won the lotto, I would buy Victorian clothes and striped stockings and dress like a Punktorian. Check Emilie Autumn out. You won't be sorry. She's a bright musician. And she has inspired me in many ways.

I'm known to some of my friends as a music Nazi because I'm not into the music of today. There is some I'll listen to, but for the most part, give me strange, give me dark, give me talent! I'm tired of whiny and growling guys!

Foods: my Vegan chili, zucchini casserole (or anything with zucchini in it!) I love to cook. I'm not a chef or anything like that, but I do love a good meal. And life would never be complete without pizza and ice cream! For the most part, my favorite things just tell you a little about me. In all honesty, if you can handle someone with horrible mood swings (and NOT PMS mood swings), I'm manic/Bipolar...that's what I meant about mood swings and someone who generally stays at home and listens to music, write, drinks absinthe ritualistic, feels nostalgic, plays with my kitties (I own eight wonderful kitties). Watches crazy movies...and I mean crazy. *laughs* Some people say I'm one of those ageless types. I may be 35, but I look 25 and act 25, to some degree. I know when to be mature. I know when to be funny. I can be morbid at times, but that's a good thing. My favorite quote, right now is a lyric from Emilie Autumn's song, "Heard It All". "Somebody called me a Paranoid Angel". If you're interested in learning more about the violin faery, Emilie Autumn, let me know. Seriously. www.enchanting-violin-faery.com/ is my EA fanpage. I play "The Sims" on my computer (but NOT for days and days on end) I tend to play The Sims when I'm all stressed out and no one to choke or throw something at. I love making houses! They're always Victorian! I love the Victorian era. Hence the obsession with Absinthe. I love La Fee Absinthe! It's something I don't indulge in all the time, but when I do, I am very ritualistic about it. I know I just repeated myself. I tend to do that. Short term memory loss from the years of smoking pot! hee hee

My computer (w/ internet, of course), my keyboard, my eight cats, especially my favorites, Spooky and Tristan, my best friend, my family, music/writing/reading (and endless amount of pens, pencils, and tablets), my MP3 player, headphones or speakers, and an endless amount of battery power to use all of my equipment...hee hee) So sorry I named more than six things...I don't like being limited to a certain amount of things.

I spend a lot of time thinking (obsessing) about love (the "true love", that is), fame, and health. Or if you want to REALLY know what's on my mind (don't shudder, I promise I won't scare you)...I spend a lot of time wishing I could find the perfect girl or guy to complement me. Example:a young woman or man who isn't afraid to be artistic and strange. I have a pretty good Gothic attitude. I'm not into posers. Give me a raven colored hair (or redhead *winks*), blue-eyed, Wiccan who loves cats (or animals in general), poetry, cemeteries (I love to photograph cemeteries. The older the better! *smiles* I'm obsessed with beauty. Dark beauty.)on a silver platter, any day! I'm tired of the crap that I've gone through with men and women, posers, and users and especially alcoholics!

What do I do? Well, I either play on the computer, listen to music, write, watch movies, read, whatever. My day begins after sundown. I stay up all night. I'm a freelancer, what do you expect? Hanging out with my best friend. We'll either ride around in my car, listening to music, go to a cemetery and take pictures or sit around her place and hang out. I love to go for walks in the cemetery in my best friend's back yard (she and her husband are cemetery care takers) and take pictures of the tombstones. Especially at night because it's the most peaceful time to go to a cemetery.

You're kidding, right? Okay, the most private fact about me that I'm willing to admit is...NOTHING! Actually, that's lie. What I want to say is I haven't been with someone for a very long time so I'm very shy. So basically, it's up to you to make the first move. But don't take advantage of that. I will call the cops if something happens. I've been a victim before and I won't go through that again. I refuse to be used.

You're not looking for a so-called sister or "good" friend. I'm tired of being treated as everyone's sister or friend and not someone else. I'm not in the mood for games, either. I may sound like a bitch with a bad attitude, blame that on my small town upbringing. Small town suburbs suck losers dry!
