Survey Time!!!
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: Precia (aka Web Toye): [from www.kabalarians.com]Your first name of Precia has given you a rather quiet, reserved, serious, studious nature. You have sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life, the beauties of nature, music, art, and literature. The people who mean the most to you are those who can offer you intellectual companionship. It is only when you are among those who understand your deeper nature that you can really be yourself. The experience of having your remarks taken lightly or belittled, particularly during the early years of your life, has caused you to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. Your difficulty in putting your deeper thoughts and feelings into words can lead to problems in more intimate associations. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. You are rather easily hurt or offended. At such times you can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Aside from these points, this name contains many fine qualities. You are a thoughtful, analytical person, and you know your own mind, even though you may not speak it. You are very conscientious and competent in all that you do. You take seriously any responsibilities that you have--in the home, in the community, or at the job. Worry and mental depression could be problems in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.

CREATE YOUR OWN!
Your Seduction Style: The Dandy
You're a non-traditionalist, not limited by gender roles or expectations. Your sexuality is more fluid than that - and you defy labels or categories. It's hard to pin you down, and that's what's fascinating about you. You have the psychology of both a male and a female, and you can relate to anyone.
What Is Your Seduction Style?
WebToye Horoscoped
Sun in Taurus, Moon in Capricorn
You were born with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Capricorn. Because both signs are of the earthly element, you are very practical, a good planner, and clear about your purposes. Internally, you are given to self-evaluation and judgment. You are extremely ambitious and have a secret desire for a prominent position in either politics or finance. Money interests you very much, and you tend to be extremely careful in financial matters.
Deep within yourself you are warm-hearted, kind, and amorous. Others find you somewhat unapproachable because of your cool, indifferent exterior.
You must often show a selfish and calculating face to the world, because you fear you will become vulnerable by displaying kindness and warmth. If you allow your calculating, totally objective and detached self a position of dominance, you could be a very cold person.
The key to a more harmonious self is to temper your Moon tendencies with the more humane and sympathetic Sun influence of Taurus.
Ascendant in Gemini, Mercury in the Twelfth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Gemini was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the twelfth house.
Your ascending sign and the position of its ruler offers general information concerning the overall trends of the course of life and complements the data pertaining to your temperament, given previously by the analysis of the combined positions of the Sun and Moon.
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac and among its key psychological influences over life there are the following: intellectual activities, humanism, and abhorrence of violence, constant doubt of all mental concepts, hesitancy and academic interest.
People whose ascending sign is Gemini usually appear as elegant, slender, expressive, and with very humane facial expressions. They are individuals with some literary inclination, dexterous with manual labors and crafts, apt, able, witty, inventive and very curious and subtle.
A Gemini in the ascendant will always distinguish herself by her rather eloquent speech and writing, her much occupied daily life, and her perpetual lack of an ability to effect swift and determined decisions. As a Gemini, you should try to compensate your hesitancy with fast thinking.
Your disposition to life-events will be kind and generous (within bounds) but not always fortunate, because of too much vacillation in decision-making circumstances. You possess the capability of rising in life because of your own intellectual assets.
Your mind is open and generous, and your intellect self-sufficient; yet on many occasions, judgment will appear as "twisted". You should restrain useless discussion, strife, and unprofitable argument as they're your worst enemies.
To achieve success, you should stress your literary and scientific studies, give free hand to your brilliant intellect in warranted circumstances, and apply your diligent nature to writing, traveling, communications, and human analysis. In all these activities you are at your best.
Mercury, the ruler of your life, appears in the twelfth house. This is the house which represents the darker and uncounscious nature of people as well as sorrow. The presence of the ruler here inclines you to be extremely introverted and to conduct your life along lines that are private to the utmost degree. Because of your Gemini life-traits, your versatile and clever mind becomes very interested in the occult, loving to engender and implement intellectual plans with haziness and ambiguity.
Venus in the First House
Venus is in the first house. This is a strong position for Venus, for it adds charm to your personality and gives you an amiable and pleasant disposition.
You concentrate a great deal on your appearance and even if you are not especially beautiful or handsome, you have a quality of softness and friendliness, which endears you to many.
You like to keep beauty and grace around you as much as possible. You have a strong affinity with nature and prefer the quiet life of the country to the plastic constructions of city life.
It is likely that you grew up in an atmosphere of warmth and congeniality. Now it is easy for you to project these same feelings to family and friends, and others often count on you to restore peace in difficult situations.
You have strong inclinations toward music, art and drama and you may wish to cultivate a form of artistic expression.
You work very hard to get along with others, and you usually try to win arguments with diplomacy rather than force. You must learn to be self-assertive when necessary and to stand up for your own rights, forcefully if need be. Otherwise, people will not have much respect for you.
Relationships are important to you, and you often go out of your way to initiate them. It is vital that your associations remain harmonious, because quarrels and disputes affect you adversely.
Saturn in the Second House
Saturn is found in the second house at the time of your birth. This is not a very favorable astrological circumstance for the general course of financial matters in your life.
It might be difficult to maintain a relatively fair position because of financial losses. You might also take financial matters too serious, and burden yourself with worries about them.
Your arduous and dedicated work might produce little for you financially, but it does help to strengthen your self-worth and your appreciation of other values. Therefore, do not be discouraged. Saturn often grants a fairly normal financial status at an older age if one exerts oneself in this direction.
If you make an effort to acquire greater enthusiasm in business, coupled with more liberality, life will change by the same degree.
Moon in the Ninth House
The Moon was found in the ninth house at the time of birth. Your higher mind has the potential to expertly reflect the teachings of elevated knowledge that you may receive throughout your life. You will have an ability to quickly adjust to varying conditions.
You are endowed with a clever and resourceful imagination, and a mind which is receptive to ideals, higher thoughts, and perhaps even metaphysical matters.
Throughout life you are going to solve many critical situations by your ingenious and highly inventive mind which has an abundance of new and humane plans and ideas.
Sun in the Twelfth House
The Sun was in your twelfth house at the time of birth. This may indicate a life full of limitations, obstacles, and human opposition, but at the same time a lot of inner strength and energy.
You are urged to pause and reflect upon your own accumulated history. Take some time for introspection. It may result in a purification process accompanied by some remorse of conscience.
Internally, you are quite different from the way you present yourself externally. You possess a vast reservoir of energy that may be partially hidden even from your own awareness.
Your internal disposition is strong, commanding, open, and of a rare generosity. More and more you should try to bring these characteristics into the open so that they can overcome some of the less desirable aspects of your personality.
On the Love Side of Things ...
Ascendant in Gemini
With your Ascendant in Gemini you have a talent for variety in personal relationships, and you can enjoy many different kinds of lovers. A stick-in-the-mud partner who liked the same thing every time would be very boring.
Since you are an inventive lover, you need a very sensitive partner who can respond to your delicate touch and lively imagination. In fact, imagination is the keyword to your style.
Sun in Taurus
You are a meat-and-potatoes person when it comes to loving, possessing both consistency and endurance.
You are very good-hearted and generous with your lover and will go to any length to lavish favors on your partner. In return, you expect great loyalty and consistency more than physical generosity, although you do prefer a physically demonstrative partner.
You would do well to choose a lover who is emotionally adaptable, for you are not one to give in very much.
The ideal partner for you would be someone who enjoys sexual variety, someone who can introduce you to new and exciting forms of lovemaking.
Unlike some others, you seldom fall into the trap of jealousy, for you value your lover's feelings about you more than technical chastity or faithfulness. For this reason, you are one of the most easy-going partners a person could have.
Sun in the Twelfth House
You have a strong sense of privacy and individuality. You disclose your inner feelings only in the most intimate circumstances and only to those whom you feel are your closest friends. Such openness is, in fact, the highest honor and token of love that you can bestow upon a friend or lover.
Because of your natural reticence, you don't actively seek new relationships, but rather tend to wait for others to seek you out.
Others may see your personal life as quite mysterious, attracting speculation about behind- closed-doors affairs. They will seldom be able to assess your private life accurately, but the very mystery will make you seem more attractive and desirable.
Moon in Capricorn
You are not one to rush into a relationship, but you don't usually back off from one, either.
What you do want is a partner who is basically committed to you, so you know you are working with something real and lasting.
For you, the most important aspect of sexual expression is sincerity.
You have a significant ability to sublimate sexuality into other realms of affection. You may find much emotional satisfaction in caring for your partner in ways that are not physically sexual. The best relationship for you is one that is long-lasting, so that you have ample opportunities to express your love over a long period of time.
Moon in the Ninth House
You gravitate toward people with whom you have a lot in common philosophically and spiritually.
In the philosophical realm you are an explorer, and you thrive on a love relationship that allows you to broaden your horizons. You will be most drawn to a lover who can open your mind as well as gratify your body.
With the right lover, you are willing to make changes in yourself and your lifestyle, if that will further the growth of your personality and enrich your life.
For that reason, you are best off with an adventurous partner who will respond to your initiative and be ready to explore new areas.
Venus in Gemini
You enjoy delicacy and finesse in love, and you treasure the touch of an experienced and thoughtful lover. The softer and more ethereal the physical quality of love, the more you respond to it.
However, you also appreciate being told how much you are loved. Not everyone can express loving feelings so fluently, however, so do not feel rejected if your lover is not verbally affectionate.
Love at its best is a happy, sometimes complicated game of constantly changing stimuli, but underlying it is a much simpler emotional base of mutual friendship and companionship.
Venus in the First House
This position lends a good deal of social charm and grace as well as physical attractiveness.
You are naturally responsive to other people's needs, and many will look to you for sympathy and understanding. Don't let anyone mistake your empathy and diplomacy for weakness, or people will try to manipulate you and take advantage of your willingness to listen.
Anyone with such a great natural advantage should use it to seduce and enfold a desired lover rather than take him or her by storm.
Mars in Pisces
You have a particularly subtle form of active sexual expression that requires a rather sensitive lover in order to bring it out most fully.
You are capable of great self-sacrifice as an enjoyable outlet for tendencies that might be extreme in everyday life. Just remember where the bedroom ends, so that in other areas of the relationship you can be equals.
Your relationship will be most enjoyable when there is a high degree of unspoken understanding between you.
Mars in the Eleventh House
You expend extra energy in any close personal relationship even if it is not sexual, for you place a high value on loyalty and friendship, both in yourself and in others.
For this reason you prefer a long-lasting affair that has time to develop, rather than newer and less firm attachments.
On a more mundane level, because of your desire for excellence in a relationship, you gravitate toward partners who have a good reputation in such matters. As long as you remember that internal qualities are paramount, this path will be continually rewarding, but if you concentrate on external qualities, you may be just a social climber or trend follower.
In lovemaking itself, you strive for excellence and make every effort to create a graceful aesthetic experience that has substance as well as form.
[from astro.com]
Openminded people, other cool cats, visual artists and graphic heads, potential sushi partners and everything else in between. As long as you are honest and non-judgemental, we can be cool. It's not my job to judge you, only to kick it with you from time to time.
Light baggage preferred, cause I know everybody's got theirs ...
Users and liars need not apply!
Non-violent souls ... creators & builders ... spiritual people ... underground music lovers ... jokesters ... souls who accept life as what it is and roll with the hits and kisses that it has to offer ... sweethearts and thinkers ... elevated individuals ... and people that are always smiling ...
I'll meet a monkey if it was a good person. Good people that border on quiet appeal to me most.
I don't care about your background if you don't care about mine. With that being said, venture onward ... of course I wouldn't mind meeting you, Silly!
Pretty much open to everything. Before I was a Multimedia Major, I was a Music Major who worked in the Music Dept at CSUN. But now that I do computer work, I make my own. I play quite a few instruments, mess around on many music programs, including Fruityloops, Acid .. trying to learn Reason, ProTools and Cubase. If I am "just chillin'", I do listen to quite a bit of Madlib, 4 hero and a lot of Hip Hop Instrumentals [i.e. Pete Rock, Little Brother]. Some others would be Meshell Ndegeocello, Dwele, Prince, DJ Peshay, Bob Marley, Talvin Singh, RJD2, MF Doom, Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, Ursula Rucker, Bahamadia, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Common, D'Angelo, Floetry, Curtis Mayfield, Tribe Called Quest [still] and all of that era of music. I really enjoy long mixtapes and compilations. I do listen to alot of eclectic music programming [89.9 KCRW] as well as the regular stuff [93.5 KDAY], attend concerts every so often, and have a varied music collection. Some music types I enjoy are: Jazz [old and new -- the more distinctive and varied, the better], Afrobeat, Hip-Hop/Rap, Old Funk [like deep 70's stuff], , Drum 'n' Bass and Jungle, Techno and House [Los Angeles influence, I guess], R'n'B [especially the slow stuff], Gospel and Classical, Rock and Alternative, European, shit with tablas --- EVERYTHING. Hell, I've even listen to Country music a few times. I find that music, especially current stuff, becomes your life's soundtrack.
Fuggin Kill Bill (orin-ishii-i!), Napolean Dynamite, Fritz the Cat, Damage, High Art, The Matrix (all of them), Closer, Fahrenheit 911, Cat People, Flashdance [hee, hee, hee], The Triplettes of Belleville, Boomerang and Grease ... Team America, The Godfather, II & III, West Side Story, Trainspotting, Interview with a Vampire (but I liked the book more), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, But I'm a Cheerleader, Casino, and yes ... I do like the newer Star Wars movies, too.
All I've got to say is Desperate Housewives, South Park, PBS and The L Word. Other than that, I don't watch too much television. I'm more of a music head and will watch educational programming, though. And maybe the Simpsons and music videos on cable from time to time.
Right now??? I start and restart a lot of books, so currently, my car is scattered with: The MAD Reader [a reprint of the first MAD reader], Obstinato Vamps [poetry], Fun and Games in Flash MX [which isn't really fun but I will deal], Soul on Ice - E. Cleaver, Art of the Northwest Indians, MAD - Terd in a Series, The Dream of a Common Language - A. Rich, The Autobiography of Malcolm X [something I reread every 10 years of my life], Lingo for Games, Zami: A New Spelling of my name - A. Lourde, Dali - R. Negrete, Typography, and the book I'm working on. Basically, put some words in front of my eyes and feed me pictures and I am all ears.
Damn, does the world even have any heroes anymore???
OK, ok ... a small list: Dali, Malcolm, and my Father. All of my friends, my many aunts, my younger brother, and my Mother. It's all an education on the daily ...
