I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Virgil reminds us that accessories are always important: .....And Venus answered: "I am not one to claim any such honour as that. It is the usual habit of Carthaginian maids to carry a quiver and to wear these high-laced hunting boots of dark red. The country which you see is ruled by the Phonenicians from Tyre, and Agenor's dynasty reigns in their city. But around them is Africa; and no war can subjugate Africans. Queen Dido, who directs the counsels of our state, came here from Tyre, wishing to escape her brother. It is a long and intricate tale of wrong; but I shall trace for you the main events of the story." ..http://victoriafotios.blogspot.com/

My Interests

Most things interest me. My lover and friends never cease to amaze and delight me. I love to cook for friends and it is a skill that kept my marriage going for as long as I could be bothered to provide a decent dinner, though as I am now separated it goes to show that though it is the way to a mans heart he cannot ultimately live on bread alone, albeit Polaine. .

I'd like to meet:

people, though obviously aliens would be very cool. Also, people who agree with this..gifted to me today., "... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone." Adrienne Rich.

Music:

It evolves and varies which is how it should be. The last cds I bought (still not added to the ipod) were The Artic Monkeys (1st album), Kings of Leon and Editors though I find that I am loving listening to the Libertines, Joy Division and the Delays right now. If I am feeling a bit epic and angst ridden, Snow Patrol does it for me. Razorlight, the Chilli Peppers and The Stereophonics are constantly evocative. UPDATE.. i found sooo much stuff under the stairs.. stared at it.. ironically.. then went and bought the new stuff from Gomez, Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse and the Frattellis.. who sound like the Wombles, but in a good way.. shallow?.. si, absolutemont...

Movies:

like films.. see them about four years after release.. makes me a dead loss at dinner...

Television:

yes, have one.. it's big.. so big i can't be arsed to watch it.. the boyfriend loves it...

Books:

book collection growing like topsy.. what a wonderful phrase and what a wonderful thing...

Heroes:

good tv programme i hear..actually its not bad but then that is a cop out.. my heroes.. my boyfriend, the tenderest man I know with a heart of pure love, my sister.. strong Amazonian heart with the insight of the elders, Amanda Joy.. without doubt a poet of vision, Si.. the man defines altruism.. look him up. My Grandmother Eva.. I loved both my Grandmothers with utter equality but my Grandma Eva was my pre incarnation.. and I miss her at every breath. Bono.. many now believe that man is nuts but he is walking, talking, poetic bundle of belief and positive action.. and a fellow poet.. dare I? I love my brother.. he is my fledgling hero..

Lying in Bed

Laying in bed, can't you hear the bum note in my "Oh, Oh, Oh!"?   Pre-programmed incorrectly to smooth your ego.   Simple physics tells me if you feel good, you will love me.   Simpl...

The garden is dark.   It sinks with it's own weight and the cloak of night drags the trees deep towards the core, sucking down, down, down.   He floats.   He is suspended.   ...

The Adored

My feet are cracking through my new shoes, as my weight spreads me down into the earth.   Your foot, placed upon my forehead, to help you boost into the wild arc of the hemisphere, lingers, a...

You blame me for finding you out and fucking throwing you out, yet not wanting to.   This was nothing I wanted, I reject it with every seething fibre and yet, what foolishness would carry on wi...

Cuckoo Mother

They are not mine, though they will hate me as though we were bonded at the umbilicus.   My milk-less love is so easily spat out, but coats their beaks in spite, with the residual nutrients of ...

My garden is planted with seeds. I dibble and furrow, so sure of germination, crouching and cramping over my babies.   Fight! Fight, through the dark crumble of the Earth plucky little sprouts. Y...

Hardbacked

A Slow Beating Heart

It flutters upon the ground, quivers. The sound is so deep, it could be just a suggestion.   It is the base, it thumps a tune that we all march to.   Dumb terminal, but we follo...
