Sic Vita

'I have immortal longings in me' - William Shakespeare

About Me


"Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain."

-Leo Buscaglia

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

My Interests



"classic literature", writing, science (biology and genetics), psychology, dancing (techno and swing), travel, gourmet food (my husband and I own a BISTRO), flea markets, antiquing, interior and exterior decorating (I fix up old homes and resell them as a pastime), landscaping, art, museums, theatre (particularly Phantom), music (I play piano and flute), and humor

I'd like to meet:



Music:

That does depend on the mood that I'm in... and I have many of these...

Movies:

Phantom of the Opera (better than broadway, in my opinion), Mel Gibson's Hamlet, Gladiator, A Mirror with Two Faces, The Matrix, Batman Begins, Spider Man (all of them), Forces of Nature, Return to Me, A Beautiful Mind, and Constantine.

Television:



Books:

Good writing speaks to my heart more than any other art form. I am an avid reader and student of classic literature. The most notable of my collection, and therefore my favorites are: Les Miserables (Victor Hugo), War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy), The Brothers Karamatzov (Fyodor Dosteovky), and Hamlet (Shakespeare).

Heroes:



God, father, mother, brother Aaron, and Fr. Erik are those most admired. Of all of the people I have known and loved, these have triumphed in doing good despite all temptation, criticism, and suffering.

Attractiveness

I've been thinking for a while about the word 'cool'.  What does it mean to be cool?   I was inspired to ponder this the other day after a friend sent me a message that I...

Mask or manifestation

I am, once again, thinking a bit on myspace.  The reason being, is that myspace is my new, and most passionate, love affair.  From the very beginning, I was struck by&nbs...

Mystery

As for the mystery of changing spaces, I can only say that I was spending an inordinate amount of time on myspace and attempted to give it a change.  I give up.  I'm hooked.  Se la...
