I try--always--to be as wise as I am powerful, as compassionate as ruthless. I may seem confusing at times, but to quote Walt Whitman: I contradict myself? Then I contradict myself! I am vast! I contain multitudes! The beginning of whatever wisdom to which I pretend has always been to own my contradictions, and to be true to myself and all others.
I like to spend time with people who are honorable and interesting, and being of a practical bent, responsibility is important to me. "The empire has to be run," I always say, and the critical affairs of my household and community (life and death, health and safety, and making sure the people are fed and live without fear, and have opportunity for the future) will always take precedence over the trivia-du-jour with which most of contemporary society seems obsessed. I really don't care who is a bitch, or whether a bag is Prada or Gucci, or what some celebrity allegedly confessed to a close personal friend who then naturally blabbed the confidence to the tabloids. I will, however, listen earnestly if these things are important to you insofar as I am able.
I have little patience for what is petty and shallow and vulgar, but surprise myself with my tolerance of and forgiveness for even those who do me harm. For after all, what do people most want from their parents--their lovers--their gods--but that they not take away their love from us because we're not perfect? Loving others for the sake of their Being instead of their being pleasing to ourselves is one of the Essential Enlightenments, and I embrace it as a core philosophy.
I am serious, but can be silly--am rational and temperate--laugh often and cry whenever I need to so I heal cleanly--try to think things through and make good decisions. **Always** on the lookout for those rare souls with whom I can form lifelong bonds of mutual love, friendship, and respect. Oh yes, and... I AM THE MASTER OF THE POSITRONIC RAY! (insert maniacal laughter here)
I don't have a lot of set policies, except to try to be me as perfectly as possible, and to govern whatever falls within my dominions wisely and well with the powers at my disposal. I make decisions based on my current priorities and objectives and the available information. I empower myself to perform all administrative acts of royalty and deity, and suffer none to encroach upon my personal sovereignty.
I like to spend time with friends, and sometimes I need to escape into a book or video game too. It just depends. I try to eat right and go dancing and to the gym, but Health is about finding the balance of indulgence and self-discipline that maximizes one's overall quality of life, not adhering to some rigid code of self-denial.
My home is my palace--the center of my kingdom--a place for the lords and ladies, minstrels and sages, craftsmen, traders, and all others to whom I open the pathways of my demesne, to gather for feasting and revelry. I work hard to make it safe and comfortable and hospitable
There is much to see and learn and understand about life and being the creature I am in it, and my observations take me everywhere there is something to be learned, which is everywhere.
