About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Things You Need to Have on a Need to Know Basis:
*Yes, the name given to me @ birth is Ember Rose. It is not a pen name or alias.
*I know I have a tough exterior, but I really am a total sweetheart that loves to meet new people.
*Never believe you have me "figured out." Never trust that you "know" me either. There are many "peices" to my "puzzle."
*The first thing I do in the morning is shuffle to the coffee pot, but what gets me up is my passion and the new things I can create that day.
*Yes, I am one of those people that is nasty (and not pretty looking either, I'll admit it) before I have my first cup of coffee.
*I don't get my self-worth from anyone else, but myself.
*The written word is my art and my power. I use it to my advantage everyday. It is one of the most teasing and seductive forms of art ever invented. I can create a world for you that you can only wish to be sucked into and never return from.
*My bullshit indicator is pretty high so if you feel like bullshitting me . . . feel free. Just know that I'll bullshit you back.
*Do NOT be put off that I am in your face and do NOT take it personal. I am raw and real.
*I reserve the right to be as PROVOCATIVE as I want to be when I want to be.
I also reserve the right to be as CONSERVATIVE as I want to be when I want to be.
*I am an artist and am very creative. I work with my hands and I work from my mind. BUT I am not that tortured soul that people tend to depict artists to be. I am very down-to-earth and loving.
*I live in the "New York Minute" when driving.
If you don't know what that is . . .it's the amount of seconds between the light turning green and me blaring my horn at you.
*It takes me a long ass time to do almost anything. It doesn't take me long to make a decision, it just takes me a long time to DO it.
*Fiercely Independent, but am fiercely protective of the ones I love.
*I am a private person and really only share myself with a selected few. Not by exclusivity, mind you. It just takes a while to get to know me.
*I have a tendency to shriek and run from loud noises.
*I have a tendency to spontaneously burst into a song. (FYI: This is how I annoy my brother.)
*Love anything decorative – from Fashion to Tattoos.
*I like to talk with my hands, and have a tendency to overwhelm people with my flapping about when I get excited. Well, that and I talk really fast too.
I HATE clowns.

- Get Your Own
*Appear to be tough and a snob – almost to the point of elitist- but really am a sweetheart that will fight tooth and nail for the ones I love.
*My trust does have to be earned, but once you have it you can bet your ass I’ll be stupidly loyal to you.
*I am a total foodie that smokes too much, drinks too much, and drives way too fucking fast.
* I love a red wine and a bloody steak. And if you don't like to see meat eaten the way it should be (like a feral cat) don't invite me to your house. Especially if you're making ribs.
*Somedays I don’t even bother getting out of my pajamas, or even out of bed for that matter. I’m happy playing around on my laptop, until I feel the need to go online. Then I move my ass. Because when you live in BUMBLEFUCK there is no wireless connection. Forcing me to use dial-up.
*I am also a huge insomniac, and internet/computer addict. In fact, if you can't find me . . .
Chances are I'm at the computer.
Or in bed . . . it's not what you think people. I happen to have really whacked sleeping hours. I fall out 8-9pm and wake up around 3-4am. Then fall out about 2pm and wake up whenever, the majority of the time . . . with a book on my face.
Pimp My ProfileI'm always changing and re-arranging. Both my life and my page. I get bored easily and am always on the look out for ways to broaden my horizons and my creativity.

-- There's a lot to be said for self-delusionment when it comes to matters of the heart.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schnieder, Nothern Exposure First Snow 1993
-- Complaining is good for you as long as your not complaining to the person you're complaining about.
Lynn Johnston, For Better or For Worse 11-06-03
-- Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.
Edith Sitwell, Taken Care Of 1965

Someday this bitch will be MINE . . .


My Interests







My Latest Obsessions *Shoes. I woman can never have enough shoes.
*Neon Pink
*Sleeping (I'm not longer the little insomniac anymore, yeah right)
*Silent Hill. I can NOT get enough of this movie! It is so surreal and freaky, I keep coming back to it . . .
*This little girl here:

*FairyDust Font: If anyone can tell me where I can download this, possibly for free, I'd be estatic!

(More to come. There are always is . . .)



What I Consider Sexy:I so had to put this here . . .
*The Harley I have pictured here.
*Stilletos
*Thunderstorms
*Horror Movies than crawling into bed with sig. other.
*Leopard Print
*Intelligence
*Neon Pink (hmmm . . . notice how this manages to show up twice . . .)
*The color RED. *Passion
*Ambition
*Creativity
*Red Roses
*Feather beds
*Mounds of pillows (and anybody whose seen my bedroom knows I have exactly this . . .)
*Guys with long hair, great eyes, big hearts, and are not intimidated by a strong personality like myself!
*Rockers who know how to hit the guitar in such a way it makes me wet.(We're all friends here, I can tell you this shit, right? ;))
*A nice long shower then sleeping nekkid in a nice clean bed. *This picture right here:

I'd like to meet:



I like people who are authentic and true to who they are. I love people who "shoot from the hip" and the heart.
People with my sense of humor, btw I do dry/sarcastic wit. I like people who take their job seriously, but not themselves.
I love people who aren't afraid to ask questions, who aren't afraid to be raw, provocative, and real. People who challenge this life, and refuse to be put in "their place."
I love meeting "strong women." Women that know who they are and don't compromise themselves for anyone. I also like meeting women that can do anything a man does, "but backwards and in heels" because god knows, I've done that pretty much all my life.

People that have a wild streak and refuse to be tamed, welcome!

I don't go cuckoo for celebrities. The following people I do NOT idolize, not even the women I say is my idol. Each of these "celebrities" are very passionate and intelligent people that have made an impact, and I would give anything just to talk to them for five minutes. Unfortunately, two of them are no longer with us.

*My idol Stevie Nicks.
*Kevin Aucoin.
*Jonathon Larson.
*Nikki Sixx.
*Mick Mars.
And I can't forget this guy!

Music:

Music is my life. I'd die without it. One semester left of classes, can't wait to graduate.
