"Years ago I sang on a track using that voice and someone asked, 'Who is that terribly depressed man?' ... But Patrick loved it. He said, 'You sound like a young boy, like a child, like an old woman, like an old man,' and really, we all have all of those things inside of us. I don't do any vocal gymnastics to make the voice better as I age. If it comes out rougher, then it's true to what's happening. Singing is who I am. I didn't train for it, any more than I trained for anything else I did. I probably should take better care of myself physically, but it goes against the grain."
~ Lisa Gerrard
Give us a few words...or rather traits that we could pin to you.
Fierce, sage, assertive, tactful, affectionate, imaginative, eloquent, flirtatious, glamourous, confident, stressed, abstract, and I have an intense level of curiosity.
I'm [currently] a semi-vegetarian. I skirt dispositions within introversion and extroversion, frequently confusing friends and even Myers-Briggs typology. As a jack of all trades, I cannot be pinned to any particular interest or field of expertise. I make classification increasingly difficult, I know. Calling me The Helena will pose as an apt label.
I occasionally do some late-night cruising with friends, attend shows, randomly socialize and tease people with my cat-like tendencies. Sitting on the floating docks of Shorefront Park with my feet submerged in the water is a treasured past time worth reliving. Often, I was with a special person, submitting to the occasional shiver in response to the winter winds. Though the water was icy, I was at bliss, thorougly enjoying the experience.
You'll rarely find people like me: The insubmissive dominatrix who can go from Bohemian chic to Victorian/1950s vintage and even to the various dimensions of Goth. I am the curvy diva (still said in modesty here) who will lay on the grass next to you and hold an intellectual conversation, the free spirit who can lift you from the worst mood.
I evaluate and apply zen buddhist philosophies (the focal point of my religion/spirituality), wiccan principles, catholic imagery and grace, and hindu keenness. You may be able to tell by now that I am quite multiracial: native american (Blackfoot and Cherokee tribes), west/east indian, european (including German, Irish, Swiss), and middle eastern (Turkish). I also have some Egyptian ancestry. I've been put in the blender of racial diversity and am the sweetest daquiri of this generation. :P
For those of you interested in Myers-Briggs typology... testing reliably,
my personality type is INTP - Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving. My definition of INTP in regard to myself: Incommisably Manipulative, Theoretically Perspicacious - that said in honesty and humour.
By the way...you now know too much and must be killed. Have a nice day =)!
You're a Glass of Wine!

You are 'Latin'. Even among obsolete skills, the
tongue of the ancient Romans is a real
anachronism. With its profusion of different
cases and conjugations, Latin is more than a
language; it is a whole different way of
thinking about things.You are very classy, meaning that you value the
classics. You value old things, good things
which have stood the test of time. You value
things which have been proven worthy and
valuable, even if no one else these days sees
them that way. Your life is touched by a
certain 'pietas', or piety; perhaps you are
even a Stoic. Nonetheless, you have a certain
fascination with the grotesque and the profane.
Also, the modern world rejects you like a bad
transplant. Your problem is that Latin has
been obsolete for a long time.
