CURRENT MOON moon phases
Aside from what I have already listed, I have recently taken up classical guitar (although my favorite pieces to play are adaptations of 16th lute music! *grins*). I am also somewhat of a pianist, and I have to say that Moonlight Sonata is my favorite piece to play. (I love classical music!) I have also taken a few years of Hebrew , and I like studying of the Tanach and Jewish mysticism. I am currently trying to tackle Latin ...oh why did I take French instead in high school?! I write a lot, mostly non-fiction right now, but I like to think I can still pen a sonnet or two. I also love to cook and I have been told I am pretty good at it...I haven't poisoned anyone yet anyway! I love art of any kind and I am addicted to visiting art museums. Most of all I like to learn about nearly everything! Education, both mental and spiritual , is very important to me. I am also a student of various healing arts. I am currently a Reiki Master Practitioner. (I don't know if I want to become a Reiki Master Teacher yet...it is a lot of responsibility!) I also did martial arts for a few years, and I am proud to say that I have broken a few boards in my day. I am also deeply involved in Goddess studies, gender studies, and women's history.
I'd like to meet:
Margaret Fell : to ask her about her life and what really happened the summer she was "convinced"
Rachel Speght : to ask her about her life after her last known publication
Dr. John Dee : to get some clarification on his journals
Queen Elizabeth I : to thank her for what she did for women's history
William Shakespeare : do I really need a reason?
John Donne : to see if he is more poet or preacher in real life
Henry VIII and his wives : to get the story straight
Roger Aschem : to thank him for what he did for women's literacy (though inadvertantly!)
Cotton Mather : to ask him to decipher some of his handwriting for me and to see if he was a closet hedonist or not
John Wilmot : to get his autograph in my 18th century copy of his works
****A NOTE ABOUT FRIEND REQUESTS****
I would be happy to speak to anyone with similar interests, however PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL BEFORE YOU SEND A FRIEND REQUEST!!!!!!!! If you don't stop by and introduce yourself first, then you will be denied. I don't add people with whom I haven't spoken to at all. I get dozens and dozens of requests a week from people collecting "friends" for no reason, bands promoting themselves, and random groups who want me to stop by their websites. I generally delete them all without looking, so if you really want to talk to me, then let me know up front. Thanks!
Music:
DJ Mark , Atlas Dropped the Ball , Mediaeval Baebes , LAGQ , anything classical guitar, Tomb Raider soundtrack, Tank Girl soundtrack, Romeo+Juliet soundtrack, Peggy Lee, and anything opera , Corvus Corax, classical music (Mozart is my fav), alternative, pop, rock, or Rat Pack.
Chopin and I are old friends.
Movies:
Tomb Raider, Clue, Tron, Dogma, Stigmata, Dracula, the original Star Wars trilogy (not the new stuff...blah!), Shakespeare in Love, all the Star Trek movies, Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, Serenity, Monty Python (you name it), Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Back to the Future triology, Spiderman series, Superman series, Ever After (a guilty pleasure...sad, I know), and many others I can't think of right now. I also totally dig martial arts films! I don't usually go for weepy chick movies, although I do have a few exceptions. I would most likely turn on an action flick over a romance any day! :-)
Television:
If I watch it at all, I will happily turn on the BBC Robin Hood series, BattleStar Galactica (old and new), Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Dresden Files, Firefly, Black Adder, Doctor Who (the new one is SO much better!), the Avengers (Emma Peel is the bomb!), Dark Shadows (yes, pathetic, I know...I got hooked on it in college), Book TV (woohooo!), Star Trek (TOS & TNG), any news channels, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Lost, all the haunted shows, and when I am feeling particularly poor I like to live vicariously through the travel channel.
Books:
Here is a list of books that I love, reference often, or have significantly shaped my world view. I know I have forgotten some titles so I'm sure that some books have been left off by mistake. I'll update the list as soon as I remember them. I have read an awful lot of bad books in my day, and I have left those off the list for obvious reasons. I've attached both fun and helpful links to some of the titles. (And if you are curious, yes, I own nearly all the books mentioned.) I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
