I could get used to this whole happiness thing.

About Me


Generally speaking, I dislike people. The irony is, I am currently employed in an industry that requires a tremendous amount of contact with the public and the ability to please them. Despite all my best efforts to hate people, I'm somehow very good at making them feel good. I suppose I don't really hate people; I simply find the majority of them unworthy of being anywhere near me.
BTW, please do not let the above deter you from attempting to get to know me better, I'm told I'm really cool... That's what they say.
I'm a complete and utter dork, but you'd never know it just looking at me. That's right, I am a total babe. Just wait until I open my mouth though... Do not let the blonde hair fool you.
I'm neurotic, paranoid and I require a lot of attention.
All I really want out of life is a good hug and kiss and an apple tree (I compensate my lack of one of these with shoes).
I enjoy my job and being right; I am very good at both. I concede grudgingly when irrefutably wrong.
I like big words.
I'm funny as shit.
Lately I haven't been able to shake this whole happiness thing. This is a new sensation for me, so please bear with me while I try to adjust... I still have some residual "shit" to deal with.
Oh, and if you would please show some love for the photos I've taken and posted it would be much apreciated. But only if you like them, of course. I am a compliment whore. I like to be told how great I am so that I can smile and blush and think to myself that you must be trying to blow smoke up my ass.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
