About Me

A boat, beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July---
Children thee that nestle near,
Eager eyes and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear---
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream---
Lingering in the golden gleam---
Life, what is it but a dream?

-Lewis Carroll

I know my limits. That's all that matters now."I shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence: / Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- / I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference."
From "The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost
I model; mostly nude, erotic, fetish, bondage. I have mostly worked with M. Schechtman for Retinal Fetish and MAS Voodoo productions. I'm on Model Mayhem, my ID is 510994 and my screenname is Kallisti.I am a practicing Witch and have been all my life. I'm a member of the Witches' Voice, which can be found here .Please -- do NOT message me to flirt. I don't do the 'MySpace hookup' thing.I'm really politically active... totally left-wing, bleeding heart liberal, I eat Republicans for breakfast.I'm a member of the Human Rights Campaign... go check it out - we need all the help we can get.

I'd like to meet:

"The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers', or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade."
-from Le Fantôme de l'opéra, by Gaston Leroux, Prologue

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.

~William Cowper

Heroes:

Vernon has changed my life in such a profound way that I cannot express it in words. Whatever the future holds, I will always be thankful for him.

Once, I met a boy named Mud , now a man named Alex. Our connection goes beyond any definition.Danielle is my best friend in the whole world. Yes, we're dysfunctional and I fucking love it -- even though we're far away from each other now in college, we can always pick up where we've left off even if we've gone for months without talking to each other. Like a game of pickup sticks, played by FUCKING LUNATICS.

Joe represents all my hope for the next generation. Serve the Music.

Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione ( The Dresden Dolls ). Amanda is simply amazing in every way she chooses to express herself. Her obsession with creation may save us all from our comfortable, boring lives. Long live the underground mindset she calls punk cabaret. Brian I not only admire for his amazing skill, but for his performance style. Seriously, watch him. It's like watching an elephant tap-dancing; you just don't see that every day.

Has anyone noticed my heroes list is shrinking?

No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.

Fast.

And a long one. Last night (not sure if you were coherent enough when I told you on the phone), my friend fainted in the subway and cracked open his skull. This is not what has me upset. What has me u...

Rose pretty.

Just because every rose has its thorn doesn't mean you should be frightened of them. A little pain gives edge to beauty that would otherwise be dull... but that doesn't mean you need to be clutching a...

Death comes for us all. Even for kings he comes.

I am very disappointed in all of you on Xanga, MySpace, and especially Facebook since most of my friends are classical musicians. Apparently no one cares that Luciano Pavarotti is dead, and the world ...
