Live...Love...Laugh!

About Me

I like to talk...The Phoenix represents all the changes I've had in my life. (Hence my tattoo.) And each phase is better than the last.
I'm probably one of the happiest people alive..Life is good, or at least I choose to see it that way. I believe in Magick, and that there's a bit of a Witch in everyone.I believe in Love, and know that love is the strongest Magick. I have a wonderful son, who is my best friend (I just don't want any MORE kids). The greatest people around are my friends (even if they don't all have myspace accounts). I am a Solitary eclectic witch, and am getting to know a few witch friends. I recently bought a very cool house that was built in the 1880s in the middle of downtown, where I live with my three indoor cats, Cash, Jet, and Binx, and my outdoor cat, Bastet. My business is amazingly successful,and I love my clients so each day is a wonderful day at work. I love and respect animals. I have a lot of fun traveling and camping, and in the book club I started two years ago. I know I'll write a book myself someday. I definitely am one to keep myself busy. I'm
- just using myspace as an opportunity to make even more friends. For those of you who might think this is bullshit and no one can really be this happy, all I can say is that it's your choice. Live the life you want to, no matter what.
Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Universe card, sometimes called the World card. The Universe is the complete, perfect whole. The spiritual path has come to an end and enlightenment is reached. Events have reached completion. The different facets of your life are well-integrated and harmoniously balanced. This is an ideal state in which to rest and feel the true state of your vibrant physical being. Your creative potential is maximized and you have achieved goals that you have set for yourself in the past. After enjoying the pleasure of this state, a new cycle can begin with new challenges and triumphs that will keep you feeling alive and keep building on the foundations you have planted thus far.

Art (Fantasy and Erotic especially. Love artists Linda Ryan, Jon Hul, Dave Nestler, Gina, Olivia De Berardinis, and Luis Royo). This painting is another by the greatly talented Matt Hughes;Being with my Friends, Learning, Reading, Laughing. I just found this, and even though I feel sorry for the little cat, I laugh every time I look at it.

A friend recently photographed these Goddesses painted on the walls in Pompeii.
I'd especially like to go to Egypt.Brainstorming, Helping people, Learning languages, Photography.

I'd like to meet:

Friends. As I said, I'm happily single. And individuals whom I admire for their art, whether it's in the form of beauty, music, humor, or inspiration; their minds, which are open and seeking to grow; and their spirits, in which love is predominate.
People who like to laugh, pay attention to people's names, and know we all are of equal value; people who let people love whomever they are attracted to,respect the earth, can be silly but can also have great intellectual conversations about anything, harm none, and who tip big. It helps if you, at least occasionally, see faeries.

Definitely Nathan Fillion, who is one of the coolest, funniest guys ever. Nathan is a part of a great movement called Hero, which you need to check out below. As if he hadn't already won my heart, all of you who know me and my book addiction can appreciate how I adore this man even more for his contribution to encouraging literacy in children. You can hear him read a children's story and learn more, if you follow the link for Kids Need to Read; a great organization.
Christian Bale, Ewan McGregor, and Gary Oldman absolutely.

I'm growing and learning, and I'd like to be...
stronger about using the inherent power that I have, that we all have. Life is magick.
And we all have to care.

It's taken a long time for me to feel that I could share this part of myself. If you have questions, ask. This video is about twenty three minutes long, and answers a lot of questions itself.

Music:

Almost anything, but especially upbeat happy music.I'm seriously hooked on Vienna Teng's voice and piano. (She's in my Friend section and you should check her out.)I love KD Lang's voice; would pick Elton John if I could only ever listen to one artist's work; believe Weird Al is incredibly creative and hysterically funny; and I really get into songs that make me want to close my eyes and move, like Son of a Preacher Man.And there's always room for more cowbell.

Movies:

There are far too many to list. Here are the favorites that come to mind. Shawshank Redemption, the best movie ever,the Matrix (but just the first one);Children of Men;Equilibrium; actually anything with Christian Bale,Prestige; American Psycho;
the first three Alien movies;Young Frankenstein; Keeping Mum because it is just cheesy good fun, and who doesn't adore Maggie Smith?I idolize Matt Stone and Trey Parker;
While You Were Sleeping; Galaxy Quest;
Kiss KIss Bang BAngRun Lola Run; 300
Crash,Memento; Serenity,I had to put this on here - he cracks me up;
absolutely anything starring Gary Oldman, who is the most diverse actor I know of;
Stay; Pillow Book, because it's so odd; Moulin Rouge (because he's singing); and anything else with Ewan McGregor.And then there are the classics...
You scored as Lara Croft. A thrill-seeking, slightly unscrupulous, tough-as-nails archaeologist, Lara Croft travels the world in search of ancient relics perhaps better left hidden. She packs two Colt .45s and has no fear of jumping off buildings, exploring creepy tombs, or taking on evil meglomaniacs bent on world domination.
