I move the stars for no one!

About Me



Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning...

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
-Leonard Cohen-


This is what I would look like if I were an English gentleman of stature:

But as it happens, I am not English. I am Sicilian and Swedish. Which--if you're into humorous racial stereotypes--says quite a bit about me. I am also, in fact, a lady. The stature part is still TBD.
BEFORE I DO ANYTHING, THIS IS WHAT I ASK MYSELF:

My Interests

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC. Art-I love pencils, charcoal, pastels, conte and Trias (I also love starting pieces and never finishing them...) Pirates. Dinosaurs. Dumb jokes. History. Biology. Astrology and astronomy. Central/South America (namely Chile, Guatamala, Argentina, Mexico). Comic books. Video games. Ponies (I won't give up the dream). Pro wrestling. Jumping around. My boys (Zack, Race, Shea, Dario, Franky). People with mustaches.
I love to have fun and keep moving!

I'd like to meet:


Incisivosaurus Gauthieri!
I want to take him to the prom.
NOW I'M DONE WITCHOO
I'M DONE WITCHOO


Music:

The kind that makes you want to jump and yell and clap and snap and stomp and sing and smile and laugh and cry and shake, shake, shake and then get up and change the world.
I also greatly enjoy songs that include "whoa-ohs!"

Movies:

The kind that make me think about them for a long time afterwards and the kind that make me feel like I could float. And the really quotable kind!
"Hey..it's dark!" "Yeah...a little TOO dark." "That was easy!" "Yeah...a little TOO easy." "Hey! It's Raph!" "Yeah...a little TOO Raph!" "MIIIKEEEYYY"
"It just feels so wierd." "What, that Mr. Arrow's dead?" "Yes, that, and my pants are filled with starfish."
"Big gulps, huh? .....Welp. See ya later." "I don't know...and I DON'T CARE"
"We are men of action; lies to not become us."
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy. Without precise calculations, we'd fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova, and that would end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"
"There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool."

Television:

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER reruns. The Office is probably my favorite show right now. But cable is expensive and too many channels make you sit on your ass and stare at the boob tube all day, so I don't have it!

Books:

COMIC BOOKS (Ultimate Spidey, Sandman, Fables, anything Vertigo, even though I prefer Marvel-verse. And the old stuff--old school X-men and Spidey--the classic story arcs that made the series amazing!) and Peter Pan and Harry Potter and Discworld and Good Omens. Most everything Neil Gaiman's ever touched. Most importantly, the classics: Tennysson, R. L. Stevenson (read some of his poetry sometime, you'll like it, I promise!), Shakespeare, Frost, Donne, Silverstein (you'd better believe I put him in with the classics). The written works of Leonard Cohen (I'm including song lyrics, but not necessarily the songs. Read the poem, "One Night I Burned." No actually, just read the whole book--"Parasites of Heaven!"). Historical books, mostly about pirates, Central/South America or bad-ass ladies. Old fairy tales and fables. Mythology, too. Join me, come be a nerd with me, mwahaha.

Heroes:

Fictional villains. I could be SUCH a good henchgirl (with aspirations of taking over) if I was only given the chance!

And of course, my main man:

I know that's a lot of awesome all at once, but just sit down for a minute and you'll recover.

A God-built maze would be, I’m sure, The Universe in miniature.

I sincerely love W.H. Auden. I know that I read too much poetry and I probably care about this way more than I should, but seriously--read this. It's one of my favorite poems by him. The Labyrinth Ant...

The sky isn't evil. Try looking up.

Joss Whedon is a writer. He created a world chock full of way too many characters whom I love. He writes sci-fi and comic books. And he's smart. This was posted on his website and brought to my a...
