WOW WEE!
.. Mythology: Norse, Greek, Roman, and Celtic. I've been studying Mythology since the fourth grade when I did a book report on Greek Mythology.
History especailly Ancient and Medieval periods. I Love history and the past. I also have a big interest in the World Wars. I have a lot of history books and study it on my own. I like visiting Castles, Cathedrals and old graveyards. I've been to Europe like 12 times, it's my favorite place to visit.
I love and respect Mother earth and all her beauty.
"They come with fire, they come with axes. Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning! Destroyers and usurpers, curse them!"
Spirituality Goddess Worship, Sacred feminine and Witchcraft, Wiccan, Eastern and Old Religions (Hindu and Buddhism). I despise monothesic relions.
Music, especially Heavy metal.
Here are some of the heavy bands I listen to regularily. See below for other types of music I like!
..
The Occult, Horror books, films, etc.
Architecture, esp Medieval, Gothic, Baroque, European.
Art, classical, Romantic, Pre-Raphaelite. My Favorite artist is John Williams Waterhouse and my favorite painting is "The Lady Of Shalott" Most of his subject matter for painting comes from mythology and poetry.
Here is some of his work, including my favorite painting.
..
Animals and nature. I'm getting very upset about the plight of Polar Bears right now. Something must be done. I have given to animal charities (and the American Red Cross too!) in the past (when I can afford it). Recently I adopted a Polar Bear through Defenders of Wildlife.
Do we really want this to go extinct? NO!
Adopting a Polar Bear is only $25.00 for a year. You can also adopt Wolves, Panthers, Penguins and other endangered animals. I might be broke, but I feel really good about doing this, and plan to adopt an animal every year. Defenders Of Wildlife

Music (classical, new age, movie soundtracks and world) and Heavy Metal. See The music section below!
Cooking and baking. I love to cook, although it's starting to show in a BAD way these days! (meaning, I love to eat what I cook too!
I collect action figures, mostly from horror movies and music personalities. I have the first Ozzy, Kiss, Metallica and others. I practically have the whole set of Lord Of The Rings action figures. I have every action figure ever made of Johnny Depp (Charlie, Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, Jack Sparrow [2]) I have the first edition of Pirates of the Carribean. I have A few NASCAR ones. I think/know I'm forgeting a bunch. Two that I don't have that I really want are The Crow and the Motley Crue ones!
NASCAR. Yeah, I said Nascar. I love stock car racing and have been a fan for about 15 years. I usually attend both Pocono races in the summer. My favorite all time driver is Dale Earnhardt. He was killed in February 2001. I still get sad about it. I like his son Dale Junior a lot and and I'm rooting for him to win the championship. I also Like Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart. I like and respect most of the drivers, but I don't particularily like the Roush drivers.
Congratulations to Jimmie Johnson for winning the 2006 Nextel cup! Better luck next year Dale!
My Beloved Football Team:
Other sports I like: American Football, and Figure Skating. I love watching the Olympics, summer and winter, I never miss them and am usually glued to my TV the whole two weeks they are on.

I'd like to meet Vikings and Rohirrum. Guys in chain mail... with swords...BIG SWORDS.
I'd love to go back in time and meet J R R Tolkien.
And Johnny Depp of course.
BUT anyway...I'm not looking to "hook up." Please don't bother contacting me if that's your intention. I just want to keep in touch with my friends who are scattered far and wide. Here are some of my far flung metal friends (Miss a lot of you terribly, kiss kiss):
If I don't know you already, please don't be surprised if you do not get a reply from me. I'm a little too busy to spend hours and hours and days and days here like most of the crazies on here. I repeat, I'm just looking for my friends. (Seems like this is the only way to get in touch with them) I'm pretty anti-social these days, and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't, because they were holding onto something ... That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!" -Peter Jackson, Fran Jackson and Phillipa Boyens.
Home is behind
The world ahead.
And there are many paths to tread.
Through shadow,
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow,
Cloud and shade.
All shall fade
All shall...fade.
And that was the Professer again...

the Lord Of The Rings trilogy is the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. 'NUFF SAID.
Just saw The Dark Knight, it was fabulous, amazing, but disturbing and dark. One of the most intense movies I have ever seen. It has easliy moved into my top five favorite movies of all time. It was highly disturbing though. I was so shaken up afterward, I left the theater with tears running from my eyes and actually, phyically shaking. I couldn't drive for ten minutes, I needed to calm myself and stop shaking. Heath Ledger was incredible, his Joker was the most treacherous, evil movie villian since Hannibal Lechter. Absolutely frightening. Kudos to Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhardt also, great performances. the story was profound and engaging and the special FX stupendous. the movie had everything, action, edge of your seat suspense, good character development, heartbreak, horror, triumph and tragedy. You run the whole gammit of emotions while watching it, but alas, it does NOT end well so you feel sad at the end.Braveheart, Almost Famous, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2, ANYTHING with Johnny Depp, Legends Of The Fall, The Crow, Se7en, Seven Years In Tibet,The Lost Boys, Forest Gump, King Kong, Last Samurai, Sid & Nancy, Hero, Star Wars (mostly all)The Red Violin, A Beautiful Mind, Platoon and JFK, WWII films, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy At The Gates, A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day, Interview With A Vampire, The Omen (Is anyone else as pissed off as me that someone thought they could remake this????) The Name Of The Rose, Harry Potter's, Casulties of War, Scarface, Bourne Identity, Charley & The Chocolate Factory. And so many more I can't list them all! (I would be here all day, in fact, I HAVE been here all day, and I want off this damn computer!)
And Da Vinci Code WAS NOT EVEN HALF AS BAD AS THOSE CRITICS MADE IT OUT TO BE! I liked it, a lot. You have to remember, it's an intellectual thriller, not an action thriller. And it's very bookish and wordy, but if the subject interests you, you just might learn something!
Recent Pretty decent: V for Vendetta, United 93, March Of The Penguins, Serenity, Memoirs Of A Geisha, Cinderella Man, Stage Beauty, The Libertine, The Brothers Grimm, National Treasure.
And I like period/history pieces, even when they're not really very good! These I think are worth seeing:Kingdom Of Heaven, Troy, Alexander, Beowulf and Grendel, Luther, Tristain and Isolde.

Johnny Depp Rules. Great Actor, Great looking.
Which Pirates of the Caribbean character are you?
Two words: LOST and ROME
Well, Rome is gone now, But Showtime has a series about Henry the 8th, The Tudors, which is pretty good! Still not as good as Rome though. So I guess I should change it to-
Two words: Lost and The Tudors! But that is three words actually. I Have been watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO. It is Terrific. It gave me chills watching the birth of our nation. Every American should watch it.
I'm still watching Lost!
I have been watching Lost since its first season, and even though its been pissing me off, I'm going to see it through.
I have a secret. Don't laugh. I watch Brett Michaels ROCK OF LOVE. It's like a train wreck, I can't look away.
HBO's Rome was the best television series EVER! I miss it. Two seasons was not enough, I want more!

This Tarot card is very fitting for me these days! Click the link below and see what card you are!
You Are Death
You symbolize the end, which can be frightening.
But you also symbolize the immortality of the soul.
You represent transformation, rebirth of a new life.
Sweeping away the past is part of this card, as painful as it may be.
Your fortune:
Don't worry, this card does not predict death itself.
Instead it foreshadows the ending of an era of your life, one that is hard to let go of.
But with the future great new things will come, and it's time to embrace them.
Mourn for a while, but then face the future with humility and courage. What Tarot Card Are You?
