You Are a Haunted House
You are a deeply complicated and sometimes deeply disturbed person.
You can't help but be attracted to the dark side of life - even when it's pretty gruesome.
In relationships, you are honest and real. So real that it's definitely a little scary.
You don't fake it or play along just to get along. And people either respect this... or deeply resent it
Your life is thoughtful, deep, and even philosophical at times.
You see the world as it is. You don't sugar coat anything.
Facing and fighting your fears is important to you. You believe that too much of life is whitewashed.
You're not too morbid... you just believe that you can't enjoy life without exorcising a few demons first!
At your best, you are brave, intense, and fearless.
Not only do you face the abyss head on - you challenge your friends to do the same.
At your worst, you are depressed and morose.
If you're not careful, your thoughts take over your mind... and they aren't pretty! What Carnival Ride Are You?..

Mourning My Cat

After two months, my beloved cat, Bob, passed away (for some reason I can't bring myself to say "died") on 24 January. He would have been 20 years old in April, so I had him in my life for a long, lon...

Happy Birthday Severus Snape!

Kudos To JK Rowling For "Outing" Dumbledore--Finally!

Okay, so, I was (and still am) miffed at how JKR chose to wrap up the HP saga. However, I may have to find some forgiveness in my heart of hearts for her. I applaud her for "outing" Dumbledore! It's w...

A Quickie Post From London!

Well, I am in London, but will be heading home this afternoon. I saw EQUUS twice, and it was a dream come true. Once I return home (if I survive the 10 hour flight!) I will write with more thoughts an...
