DRUIDIC - You have to live close to nature to survive. You dream magick. In the deep woods you gather, bringing together mysticism and philosophy, insight and learning. Your spirit emerges from the the tides of the sea, the light of the sun, the wind in the Oak, the cry of the deer.

My Interests

Art...Painting,photography,cooking, music, superhero comics (I freely admit it), love being on my bicycle..don't own a car, swimming whenever I can. Meeting diverse people.

I'd like to meet:

Just about everyone i've asked to be my friend, really....I mean it.

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Music:

Alt. anything,punk, goth, electronica,some country, anything danceable...and all the iconic artists from the 60's till now.Salut

Movies:

Horror movies, and comedies...there...I admit it. Personal favourite is "The Haunting" the 1964 version directed by Robert Wise (not the Jan de Bont remake). Another fave is"A Fish Called Wanda" is still laugh out loud funny for me. Loved just about every movie from Tim Burton...esp. "Nightmare Before Christmas". "The Prestige" is my most recent favourite movie...but hey....Hugh Jackman & Christian Bale...together. What's not to love? "Donnie Darko" is a head scratcher but it has a nice dark twisty vibe. An hey..."Brokeback Mountain" of course should be on everyones view list. "Shortbus", interesting...Finally saw "Children of Men" on DVD, WOW..very moving.

Television:

"Heroes" is my current fave. also anything with Joss Whedon's name attached to it(Buffy T.V.S., Firefly, Angel etc.).Recently discovered "Veronica Mars"great writing on that one. "Dante's Cove" is my favourite guilty pleasure, that spot was previously held by "Charmed". Reality shows for me are: "Canadian (and American)Idol", "So You Think You Can Dance", "The Amazing Race" and others . Those great fake news shows, "The Daily Show" & "The Colbert Report", they keep things real. Did I mention Joss Whedon?....Finallly what the hell happened to "The Class", best sitcom ever, is it gone, been renewed ...what?

Books:

I could list a bunch of pretentious "hip" books, but honestly I likes me da scary horror thrillers! "Hyperion" and "Olympos" by Dan Simmons are the most recent SF that I've read. And yes I am awaiting the 7th Harry Potter book. Currently reading "Night Watch" by...er...that Russian guy. Just got the new "Harry Potter" in the mail...Wahoooo!!! Oh...and raise your hands if you know who H.P. Lovecraft is......you know who you are.

Heroes:

Any guy in tights with superpowers, or anyone with the guts to try and change the world.Your results:
You are Green Lantern Green Lantern 90% Supergirl 81% Spider-Man 80% Iron Man 80% Hulk 80% The Flash 75% Wonder Woman 66% Superman 65% Catwoman 60% Robin 58% Batman 45% Hot-headed. You have strong
