About Me

I just started my third and FINAL year (thank GOD!!) of graduate school at the University of Washington. I am paying a lot of money to get my MFA in Acting (Master of Fine Arts, for those of you who've never heard of an MFA). In other words, I am the kind of person who would rather do something I truly love and believe in and be poor rather than sell my soul to the Corporate Beast and have things like a steady paycheck and a mortgage (no offense to those who like the Beast). Or I'm just really narcissistic and believe that no matter what I do, the Universe will provide so I can just fuck around and have fun in the meantime... Not sure which one yet.Although I may quite possibly be in debt for the rest of my life, I love my classmates, the majority of my teachers and feel very confident that I'm getting some of the best theatre training in the country. I also have some really great friends outside of school and feel so blessed to have them in my life. Besides that I live in the GORGEOUS city of Seattle with my FANTASTIC boyfriend and our BEAUTIFUL dog! I am very grounded and never overemphasize ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!Seriously, Life is good and the Universe has provided me with everything I need, so I really don't have any complaints. Except that George Bush is a punk-ass CHUMP and if our next president isn't at least somewhat trustworthy, I'm moving to Vancouver. For more info, visit my website at www.MaryBlissMather.biz. Okay?

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

My Interests

Sleeping, eating and occasionally having fun. "Fun" is herein described as anything that doesn't have to do with class or rehearsals.

I'd like to meet:

Not you. I've met all the people who I have on my Friends List, so DON'T ASK TO BE MY FRIEND IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME. Thanks.

Music:

Anything and everything. Yesterday it was showtunes and Vivaldi, and today it's Dave Matthews, Lamb and a bunch of celtic music I put on my iPod. I like variety.And EMILIA SOSA rocks my face!! Yes, I did just write that.

Movies:

Whatever I get on my Blockbuster snail-mail account.I guess some of my faves include THE PRINCESS BRIDE- yes, I know all the lines by heart, UNSTRUNG HEROES, AMERICAN BEAUTY and THE CHORUS. Also a big fan of period romances, a la SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, EMMA, and of course PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (both the BBC version and the one with Keira Knightley). Pretty much whatever floats my boat and inspires me at the moment.

Television:

I don't watch TV very often because I'm never home, but I tend to get addicted to Comedy Central from time to time. I love, love, love John Stewart and the Colbert Report!!! Oh, and Grey's Anatomy is good too.

Books:

Anything by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Susan Miller (the astrologer), Kahlil Gibran, Stephen King or whatever playwright I'm into at the moment.

Heroes:

As cheezy as it is to put your significant other under your list of "Heroes", my boyfriend Brent really IS an amazing, AMAZING person.Besides him, I'd have to say Ghandi, Mother Teresa, MLK, Jesus, Buddha, etc.... ya know, people who won wars without actually having to kill people. My Mama and pretty much any woman who has kicked some ass in her own way. Speaking of which, fankly my dear... Which Gone With the Wind character are you?
You're Scarlett O'Hara!
