"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here.
It's a wonderful life and I love it."
Jim Henson
"I'm pretty, but I'm not beautiful.
I sin, but I'm not the devil.
I'm good, but I'm not an angel."
Marilyn Monroe
Ahem. I am not as cool as you think I am.
I resigned a long time ago that I cannot change the world; I can only strive to change my world.
A lonely, old, lost soul wandering the human world looking for the way back into the realm of Faerie... I love persons, but loathe people; and I love animals and rescue kitties. When on my own schedule, I sleep by day and rise for night. I grew up in South Louisiana and spent much of my youth wandering around New Orleans and all its gothic glory. I miss New Orleans.
I love thunderstorms: running through the cemetaries in a storm, dancing barefoot in the streets while the water pelts and soaks you, or sitting on the porch watching the heavens play tag with the earth.
I love to laugh and to sing and to dance and to love. I am a wonderful friend and a giving person, but I have a mean streak like anyone else. Cross me as much as you would like, and I tend towards forgiveness; but cross my loved ones, and learn the true meaning of "bitch".
I am a stereotypical Capricorn. I'm a workaholic; I'm fiercely loyal and loving, but I am emotionally distant to most. You will always see my true nature, but you will never see my the full range of my true emotions until you have earned my trust completely. Be warned that once you have lost it, you will never see it again.
I change my haircolor. Often.
I cannot categorize myself other than I am me.
I enjoy art, poetry and literature, and music.
I love looking through kaleidescopes.
I am addicted to Coca Cola and anything Muppets.
I lika da spicy.
I also lika da funky. If it's got horns, baby, I am all over it.
I miss Tri-Met and park benches. I even miss the screechy brakes on the Max.
I play darts rather well and curse rather fluridly in French when I lose.
I can be quite silly and have an extremely dirty mind. You have been warned.
I am "Agnostic" with extremely heavy Pagan tendencies; I am an old, faerie soul trapped in this world looking for the truth and searching for the door back to the other world. I am fascinated by religions of the world, and I have the utmost respect for all cultures and everyone's search for and relationship with "God", their creators, or as I like to say, "The Powers That Be." Do not try to convert me, but do educate me and do respect that I respect you.
I love ballroom dancing. Though my mastery is rapidly losing its hold. I seem to excel in American Rhythms, though the smooth International Standards hold my fancy.
I can stare at Chagall for days. His works--especially his stained glass--hypnotize me. (I miss Chicago...)
I can sit on the porch and stare at the leaves on a tree for hours. I can watch the wind chase a leaf round and round. I can look at my world through the eyes of a child. I cherish innocence and value perspective. If the whole world could see what I see and look as I look, they would be in awe and wonder everyday. There would be no time for the troubles that burden us.
But don't let that fool you; I am certifiably warped. And I like it that way. I like it a lot.
I do not like long term goals. I prefer to live more for the day, the week, at most the month. "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry." Learned that one the hard way. My only current goal: I want a car that looks like a T.Rex song sounds. Anybody got a decent condition 70 Mustang Mach I CJ428 for sale? LOL.
I am currently between Oregon and Louisiana for an inderterminate amount of time. Life moves pretty fast (Ferris Bueller), and it has currently whipped me around quite a bit. The room is still spinning, and I don't know which direction I will be facing once it stops.
But no matter what I do, I simply want the whole world to be beautiful and interesting to and for everyone. So everyone do what you love, and if it's not this or here, then go away!

You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Alias: Fertility
General Meaning: Traditionally entitled "Empress," this major arcana or "trump" card portrays the energy of the Great Mother. She is Nature, around us but also within us, the ever-unfolding Source of life-giving power. She is often pictured as a pre-Christian Goddess, as the one whom the High Priestess is channeling down to earth for the rest of us.
In medieval Europe, the Empress card was painted to represent whatever Queen currently ruled the land, probably to satisfy the Inquisitors. But the scholars of the Renaissance and beyond had no doubt of her true identity, although she could not be fully revealed on Tarot cards as the "woman clothed with the sun" until after the French Revolution.
This supreme archetype of femininity also symbolizes fertility. It is She who provides us nourishment and security. She is also sometimes seen as delighting us with flowers and fruit. A potentially terrifying aspect of this archetype manifests itself whenever karmic mood swings wipe out our plans, like a storm that has come upon us. Whatever happens, the Empress is the Source of our Embodiment and of Natural Law. She might even be called "the Great Recycler."
SO YA BEST RESPECT BITCHES!
