About Me

Im 32, dont look it, feel it emotionally and mentally, not physically. I dont eat meat, havent since 7th grade.... Admire perfection, but am envious and impressed by the lack of it as well. I am quietly eclectic... could spend a whole day in an art gallery lying on the hard wood floors, taking in the whitenesss, the minimalism, and the smell of paint, paper, and creativity.... Religion fascinates me and disgusts me. What I feel is what I believe in. I know I am here, dont know why, and could never begin to understand why one belief thinks it is the right one and the only one. Buddhist, Aetheist, Wiccan that Will continue to question until the one higher power ( if that exists ) taps me on the shoulder, extends an etherial hand and shakes mine.... I have lived on both sides of the USA, the middle, and the bottom... have seen parts of the world that have opened my eyes to what little we know about each other as humans. I will never pretend to know better, or more, but know what I see, feel, and when I am right, or wrong. Im quiet, passionate, and confusing.... people scare me, intrigue me, and make me crazy at times, but could never live without them. Ive lived many lives... dorky closeted outcast in high school, hardcore drugged up raver, club kid and freak, pretty gay boi... lived off and on the streets for 9 months, which taught me to appreciate hard work, a responsible lifestyle and my health. I am shy, but dont want to be, am misunderstood, but like it that way....

Movies:

Scorpio will rarely be found in the center of activity, but will always know just what is going on of concern to him. Their tenacity and willpower are enviable, their depth of character and passionate conviction admirable, but it is their deep sensitivity that makes them the best and most loyal friend. This same quality makes them the most treacherous of enemies. Personification of the Moon (Luna), seen here processing through the sign of Scorpio. Italian manuscript, fifteenth century. Their sensitivity, and pride allow them to be easily hurt, quick to feel insult or injury, even when none is intended, and easily roused to heights of anger. An angry Scorpio is a sight to see. Unlike Leo, who can have a temper tantrum and five minutes later be quite himself again, Scorpio seethes, and doesn't give it up. When they harness their abundant energy constructively, their self-confidence tempered with shrewdness, and their ambition coupled with generosity toward others, they excel at whatever they undertake. Scorpios are demanding of others, but never ask someone to do what they would not do themselves. They can be fanatically focused and work till they drop, and ask the same of those around them. No middle ground for a Scorpio, all or nothing. Scorpio imagination and intuition are excellent. They possess refined critical perception and strong analytical ability. In addition, they seem to demonstrate a natural healing power. These abundant gifts allow Scorpions to penetrate the most profound subjects. They are serious folk, but quite charming to people they like, and when social events call for it. Their tragic flaw is their immense pride. Once wronged, once Scorpio's pride has been diminished, the game of courtesy is over.
