About Me

Who Am I? A good question with no facile answer. I wear many masks. I'm a mother - times two, a lover, a friend and a sister. The list is endless. But that's who I am to others. To myself, I'm a reasonably intelligent person who cares deeply for others, and tries to do the right thing. I'm fun loving and adventourous. My heart rules me more than my head. This has it's up sides and it's down sides. I'm also a dreamer. I'm the parent of one beautiful 9 year old boy, Tristan, and Rowan Phoenix my two year old daughter. They are the loves of my life. ..

My Interests

books, politics, occult, cooking and gaming of all stripes

I'd like to meet:

People who have different thoughts and ideas from my own, free thinkers, people with open minds

Music:

Type O Negative, NIN, Concrete Blonde, Evanescense and a assortment of other artists too numerous to count. It depends on my mood what I listen to on any given day.

Movies:

Underworld, vampire flicks- I'll see almost any vamp flick once even the cheesy ones just for the hell of it. I've seen some bad ones believe me(picturs vampires in the outback of Australia), I also liked Frightners, the Hellraisers- But here to it depends on my mood at the time

Books:

I've read all the Harry Potter books. I just completed the 6th book. Can't wait for the last. I also read Laurell K. Hamilton, both the Anita blake and the Meredith Gentry books. One of the best books i have evr read would be Enders Game by Orson scott Card. I also found the celestine prophesy interesting. I am now also reading Kim Harrison's series of books. I highly recommend them. Oh, and Neil Gaiman is a god as far as I'm concerned.
