About Me

Me a Nutshell

My Mottos Are:
Embracing the basic absurdness of life and reveling in it.
&
Don't wait for miracles be the miracle.
-both are easier said than done-
Hi, I'm the Keltic Kat's Minion Tail Stomper, aka Joanne.
Gosh, how to explain who I am? We are defined by some many elements in our lives.
I’m a writer, artist, gamer and all around flake.
Someday I'm hoping to get myself together and become a real writer, with a paycheck and everything. I publish here and there nothing big. The strange thing is I know lack of confidence is my biggest obstacle and still can’t seem to overcome it. Seriously all an editor can do is say, "no".
My artwork is showcased in my Café Press shop “the Keltic Kat” it's in the Pretty Scribbles section. I won’t claim to be the next Van Gogh or Evard Munch, though sometimes I’m almost crazy enough. Almost.
Most important definitions of me, right now are; mother, daughter, sister, aunt and a cat slave. My only child is will be 16 years-old soon, he's a darn good kid. I wish I could give him the world, but he'll have to go and find that for himself. I have two bothers, one sister, five nieces and no nephews, on my side of the family on my not-ex-husband’s side I have two sister’s in law, two brother’s in law and a niece and a nephew. They are my boy’s family so they are my family, too.
There was also a very strange cat that came to live with shortly after we bought this house the infamous Peanut Underfoot. He went on to the next leg of his Journey in Sept. of 2006. -see the Blog for my tribute-
We adopted another cat from the local shelter his name is Buster. Although my vote was Dash, because he doesn't walk anywhere. He's like Tigger in a gray tux. Late this last summer a small black and white tuxedo cat showed up under the neighbors truck, we call him Squiggles. He is even crazier than Buster.
Well that's probably way more than you really wanted to know, so I'll stop there.

My Interests

I have a Café Press shop:

the Keltic Kat

full of my pretty scribbles (artwork) and bizarre humor. Eccentric doesn’t begin to cover it...

The Keltic Kat

is my very eccentric website.

Laff Katz Blog

Thingz dat mek meh laff! Cuz life is short!

My Special Pet Hobbies:

Pottery ~ there is nothing like feeling the wet clay in your hands as you mold into something. It’s very therapeutic. Did I mention you get to smash things and pound on stuff?

Refinishing Furniture ~there is just something about taking some old thing someone didn’t want and making it into something people oh and aw about that makes you feel like you really accomplished something.

MMORPG’s –Massive Multi Player .. Role Playing Games- that’s really more of a vice though, but sometimes the only way to slow my mind down is to throw it into something like that.

I keep a number of Squidoo Lens...

Fun Links for MySpace

Basically Absurd the Adventures of Me!!

Every Death from Cervical Cancer is Preventable!

I'd like to meet:

.. View Album Get your own MyGen Profile Generator

Music:

The Springfield Marching Band..
Go Blue Devils!!!

It doesn't matter how the football team does as long as the band sounds good!!

I’m pretty eclectic on music it really depends on my mood. Usually I like a song that’s got something to say –it’s a writer thing live with it. Artists and groups I like Sting, the Police, Billy Joel, Duran Duran, The Beatles, Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall, 80’s retro stuff like Blondie, Madness and Modern English but also classical, celtic and folk music too. Just sounds of life are their own music too. I just don’t understand people who can’t sit and listen to world without trying to fill it with other noises.

.. I played the piano for 3 or 4 years and the violin for 6 years. I loved it, but I'm not very musically talented.

Movies:

In no particular order!
Eragon
~That's the spirit - one part brave, three parts fool.

Serenity
~Define interesting. ....Oh God Oh God we're all gonna die.

X-Men the Last Stand
~In chess, the pawns go first.

Alien
~In space no one can hear you scream
Aliens
~But its dry heat man
The Princess Bride
~Inconceivable!
~Never get involved in a land war in Asia
~Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.

The Lord of the Rings
~Nobody tosses a dwarf.
Be on your guard. There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world.
This is no mine. It's a tomb.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!
You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
I've been sent back until my task is done.

The Highlander
~There can be only one.
Indiana Jones
~Very Deadly Indie you go first

Television:

Torchwood

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Stargate SG-1

Stagate Atlantis

Dr. Who (the new one)

Battlestar Galactica (the new one)

LOST

Heroes

I cried when Dark Angel was cancelled after Serenity was cancelled I started boycotting FOX

See a pattern here? Yep, Im a Sci-Fi grrrlll!

Books:

I don't think there is enough room on the Internet to list all my favorite books. I'll read just about anything once. My all time favorite are the Pern books, by Anne McCaffrey I still cry when I read the Dragon Song and Dragon Singer. I know I'm a big baby.

I have so little time to read anymore. ..

Heroes:

If I can find this person... then I'll have found my hero. I thought I knew him once but I was wrong.

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
