About Me

I spend more time with my computer than with my books, but that's been changing a bit. With Hannah not just walking, but gearing for Olympic speed events, books are more portable and survive being tossed across the room when I have to put the pedal to the metal to catch up with my small grinning speed demon. Add two days a week with a midget version of my younger son, um, I mean, my beautiful granddaughter, then the competitive spirit generated by two divas-in-training and you can imagine that I'm pretty busy. Reading books or screens isn't my main occupation these days. NickJr seems to be my favorite network.I'll tell you the joys of having a semi-pseudo-adolescent 12-year old daughter who is developing into a ravishing young woman. A very social and ravishing young woman. She doesn't yet realize how beautiful she is and that her main beauty radiates from within, from her beautiful personality and generous soul. Shhh. Don't tell her. Let me enjoy a few more days of her being my baby still. At 5'7", she doesn't look like a baby, but she's still mine.And REP SoCal has the D-i-T, along with an equally ravishing 14 (I know, almost 15) year-old niece added to my responsibilities added to the scenery and my responsibilities. No, I'm not ready for those fellows in their cleanm white coats to drag me off. Not quite yet.I pimped my profile at freemyspacedesign.com , check out these Free Layouts, Graphics, and Generators

My Interests

My family most of all! I'm blessed with two sons, two daughters and two adult stepdaughters. I have the most gorgeous and smart granddaughter in the world. I'm a reader, I love and collect books! Johnny Depp occupies a huge amount of my time and interest - I think that I've collected almost all of his movies. Movies and music are collectable, too! Taylor Hicks is cool and I love his voice and style.

I'd like to meet:

People who love, people who like to talk, people who have compassion, people who are family-oriented, as am I.Or, Johnny Depp. Yes, that would be very nice! Johnny Depp is the exact person that I want to meet. I hear that he is very kind to his star-stricken fans.

Where was your soul born?[pics + detailed answeres]
Your soul was born in the Shadows.Your soul was born in the shadows of the moon at night. You're all mystery and enigma and your element is the Moon. No one really knows who you are, but they might think they know you. You only tell people fragments of who you are and never show your true personality. That doesn't have to mean that youre being someone you're not though. You're always yourself and you never do something just because someone else does. Some might think you're a little cold or dull, but you're just hiding your true self for some reason. Maybe only a couple of selected people have ever seen the true you. You are loyal to these people and it will take time if anyone else wants to gain your trust. You let people think that they know you and that you trust them. But sooner or later they will realize that they never really knew you. Be careful. Someday you might need someone who knows what you need. Trust people. You prefer silence and tranquillity. You're calm and collected and a nice person most of the time.

Music:

Vanessa Paradis is my most recent musical fixation. The Monkees are the most senior. I enjoy Celtic music - my all-time favorite show at Faire is put on by St Andrew's guild. I've loved them since first sight in 1989.
Where Did Your Soul Originate?
You come from Dark Water. You are solitary and find peace in yourself, or maybe you're turmoiled but pull off peace.

Television:

Television is mostly for watching movies, but I have a few guilty pleasures. Greys Anatomy rocks, I really love to watch it. I greatly enjoy American Idol - Constantine was cheated, but Taylor Hicks wasn't! I don't do reality shows - give me a break. What reality? I do like Rugrats and lots of Nickolodeon cartoons! Give me Disney movies!

Books:

Gone with the Wind is my ultimate comfort read. I know I've read it more than a dozen times. Diana Gabaldon is a dream - I've been in love with Claire and Jamie's story since she was first published. The Lord of the Ring books. I'm on my third read-through. I love history, biographies, mysteries, young adult novels and sf.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
