About Me

I've always hated this kind of thing. If you know me, then you know what I'm like. If you want to know me, just ask. Knowing someone can be very relative, as different people have different relationships with those that they have in common. So, I'd rather just let you form your own opinion of me...

What Classic Pin-Up Are You?
You are the Strength card. Strength occurs when we
are able to work with our primal instincts. In
Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth, this card is
called Lust. Lust can be thought of as the
source of our inner power. Our desires, when
firmly held, provide us with the energy and
direction we need to achieve our goals.
Strength relates to the practice of magick.
Magick is the ability to use the will to alter
reality in some way. In the strength card, we
see a woman, by way of her gentleness and will,
tame a wild lion. Her own inner capabilities
have enabled her to perform this magickal feat.
This is the kind of spiritual or primal
strength that is indicated by this card. Image

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: Let's just say that I can claim FOUR names as my own. God forbid I ever get married and take on my husband's name; my poor hand will cramp every time I need to sign something.
Birthday: 08 April 1978
Birthplace: Sacramento, CA.
Current Location: Same as above, for now.
Eye Color: Well, that's been up for debate in the past few years. I've gotten brown, light brown, tiger's eye, whiskey-coloured (this was my favorite), and I've gotten hazel a couple of times. So, who knows? What I DO know is that my right eye is slightly lighter than my left one. It's neat.
Hair Color: What, natually? Dark blond? Light brown? Both? Eh, whatever.
Height: Two inches below the national average.
Right Handed or Left Handed: Right. My left hand is inept at doing anything other than holding a drink, or gesturing wildly.
Your Heritage: Almost half Norwegian, a quarter French Canadian, and the rest is Euro-mutt.
The Shoes You Wore Today: I've been barefoot all day. It's been great!!
Your Weakness: Chivalry.
Your Fears: Growing old.
Your Perfect Pizza: New York style, extra cheese and pepperoni... oh yeah, and free. Free is always good.
Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: Figure out what I want to do when I grow up. ;)
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: Probably all of those silly lil' smiley faces.
Thoughts First Waking Up: Gah. Morning.
Your Best Physical Feature: Everyone is there own worst critic. I'll leave this one up to those that know me.
Your Bedtime: Well that just depends on what time I'm flying out the next morning... or night; it all depends really. Thank GAWD for thick, light-blocking hotel curtains.
Your Most Missed Memory: All of the ones that the Army erased.
Pepsi or Coke: Even though I HATED working for them, I'll have to go with Coke.
McDonalds or Burger King: Nationwide, thank you very much.
Single or Group Dates: Single, for the most part.
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: The sweet-tea that you can only get in the South.
Chocolate or Vanilla: Ice cream? Vanilla.
Cappuccino or Coffee: Triple white mocha, extra white, extra hot, with an obscene amount of whipped cream. Needless to say, I only treat myself to these on the weekends... I can feel my arteries clogging just by reading it.
Do you Smoke: Cigarettes? Nope. But I HAVE recently found that a bit of the hookah is nice every now and then.
Do you Swear: I was a tomboy growing up, I was in the Army, I worked in a warehouse for over five years, I was in heavy construction... what the fuck do you think?
Do you Sing: Every day.
Do you Shower Daily: Every day; I'm a total product whore as well as a wee bit OCD about the whole bathing thing. Smelling or looking funky is RARELY attractive, construction workers and fish mongers aside. ;)
Have you Been in Love: *smiles*... Oh, yeah. It's the best thing to be in.
Do you want to go to College: Been there, did a BIT of that. I'm just not a big fan of being forced to learn something that I have no interest in.
Do you want to get Married: I do... I mean, if anything, for the dress and the party, right? ;)
Do you belive in yourself: Sometimes.
Do you get Motion Sickness: Only if I sit in the back seat. I've also found that I can get a touch of the sea sickness at times, depending on how small the boat is and how large the swells are.
Do you think you are Attractive: Once again, everyone is their own worst critic.
Are you a Health Freak: Not really. I don't live on junk food or anything, but I also don't stress over my daily caloric intake either. Good thing, considering that I mainly eat out of airports and hotels now.
Do you get along with your Parents: Pretty much, yeah. My Father, I've always had a connection with. And my Mother and I have recently found and are in the process of nurturing a special bond of our own. It's a beautiful thing.
Do you like Thunderstorms: LOVE THEM!!
Do you play an Instrument: I used to play guitar. Now, I just bang on a drum (or a countertop, or a table, or a fence, or...) every once in a while... ummm, but not well.
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: I DO enjoy a few drinks with friends most weekends, and will occasionally curl up with a glass of red and a book while at home.
In the past month have you Smoked: Nope.
In the past month have you been on Drugs: What happens on the playa, stays on the playa...
In the past month have you gone on a Date: Nope. Kinda sad, huh?
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: Only to drop off some film that I needed developed.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: Nope. If I'm going to sit down and gorge myself on cookies, they're gonna be the gooey chocolate chip kind.
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: Mmmm... sushi. My Godparents were Japanese, so I was introduced to it at a very early age.
In the past month have you been on Stage: Only my own.
In the past month have you been Dumped: Not in the past MONTH, no.
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: Thanks to the Canadian, yes.
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Nah, not since I was a kid.

Ever been called a Tease: Oh geez, I'm sure I have at some point.
Ever been Beaten up: Nope. I'm all hard core and shit, yo. *grin*
Ever Shoplifted: Once again, only when I was a kid.
How do you want to Die: Without pain, without disease, without regret, and knowing that I am loved.
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: Gah. Hell if I know. As long as I'm happy and I get to travel, I'm sure I'll be fine with it.
What country would you most like to Visit: Scotland or Ireland. There's something about those yummy accents that make quiver in a very delicious way...
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: Usually light.
Favourite Hair Color: Usually dark.
Short or Long Hair: Usually shorter, but I've got a real weakness for shoulder-length, wavy locks, if worn well.
Height: I tend to like my men a bit above 6'.
Weight: Well, I'm a big fan of my men weighing more than me. ;) I'm almost half Norwegian, which, roughly translated, means that I'm built for raping, pillaging and general asskickery, so I prefer a man who can throw me around a little.
Best Clothing Style: I like a man to be comfortable, yet able to clean up REAL nice when the occasion requires it. I know that there's a certain type of style that I like on a man, but it's hard to put into words. I just know it when I see it.
Number of Drugs I have taken: Only three... wait, does hippie crack count? Stupid playa.
Number of CDs I own: Hella.
Number of Piercings: Used to be hella (30, total), but now I only have 8.

I'd like to meet:

Look, I'm not a trading card. For the most part, I'm really only here as an added way to keep in touch with those individuals that I already have included in my life, so if you're looking to lump me into your group of 70,000 myspace friends, well then, no offense, but you can just bugger off. With the exception of a VERY few, I actually personally know and interact with those I have listed as "friends". If you find that you are intrigued by my profile and would honestly enjoy getting to know me beyond the basic bare facts, then by all means, feel free to send me a message. I'll not guarantee a response, but at the very least, you won't have annoyed me. And for the love of all that is good, do NOT begin said message with any variation of proof of your socially-inept idiocy; it's called an introduction, not a pick-up line. I can generally be a very sweet and considerate person, but I find that I have to employ a few of my more skeptical and cynical traits when it comes to dealing with those over the internet. Please understand this, else I'll be forced to throw a frozen, pudding-filled pygmy elephant at yer head at mach looey.

Music:

Whatever I'm listening to at that moment in time. Whatever stirs my soul, and entices my body to move. Actually, I'm a bit embarassed at some of my musical tastes, so I'm really just declining to list specifics...

Movies:

300, Atonement, Becoming Jane, Beetlejuice, Blood Diamond, The Boondock Saints, Braveheart, The Breakfast Club, Brokeback Mountain, The Color Purple, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Dark Crystal, Dazed and Confused, Dirty Dancing, Eastern Promises, Edward Scissorhands, The Flight of Dragons, Forrest Gump, Gangs of New York, Gladiator, The Goonies, Heathers, The Holiday, Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Labyrinth, Ladyhawke, Last King of Scotland, Last of the Mohicans, The Last Unicorn, Legend, The Lost Boys, LOTR Trilogy, Moulin Rouge, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Neverending Story, The Notebook, Pan's Labyrinth, Pretty Woman, The Princess Bride, The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy, Pump up the Volume, The Ring, Roadhouse, the entire Rocky collection, The Shawshank Redemption, Six String Samurai, Sliding Doors, Snatch, Titanic, V for Vendetta, Varsity Blues, Walk the Line, The Wedding Date, What Dreams May Come, most Disney and Pixar films... Oh, crap. You know, there are just too many; individual films and genres. So, let's just leave it at that. Although, you would be surprised at the sheer number of movies that I HAVEN'T seen because I grew up under a rock, in a cave. It's pretty sad. I don't know how many times someone's screamed at me, "WHAT?! YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ________?!!"

Television:

Angel, Beauty and the Beast (THERE'S an old one for you), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Friends, Grey's Anatomy, In Treatment, LOST, The Nanny, That 70s Show, Sex and the City, Whose Line is it Anyways? (British AND American version), Will and Grace, a lot of what the Discovery Channel puts out, and the random reality show to round out the rotting of my brain...

Books:

"The Mists of Avalon" by Marrion Zimmer Bradley, Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series, Jacqueline Carey's "Kushiel" series, George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, "Atonement" by Ian McEwan, Terry Brooks "Shannara" series, C.S. Lewis's "Narnia" series, "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden... Basically, the same thing applies here as with with my musical preferences. For those of you who are familiar with some of these novels, go ahead, laugh it up; I don't care. Reading, for me, is escapism, and these books have taken me farther than any other, and have evoked more raw emotion than I ever could have prepared for.

Heroes:

I've actually come to realize that I have no heros. Not to sound pessimistic, but when I sat down and thought about the meaning of the word "hero", and more importantly, the meaning that I, personally, place on the word, I came to the aforementioned conclussion. There are many people who I look up to and admire, for many different reasons, but to qualify them as actual heros would be to belittle the definition that I have placed on the term.
