Tarot, The Moon, Metaphysics vs Theology, Middle Eastern (belly) dancing, dressmaking, corsets, swimming skyclad, cooking, hiking. I love meat. Purple candles. Ooh, and I love minor league baseball. GO 51's!! Victorian Halloween stuff. Tambourines. Primal rhythm.
I'd like to meet:
Nivek Ogre, Udo Kier, Joe D'Allesandro, Jim Heath to name a few. Johnny Cash's ghost would be really cool to meet! I want to kiss Kate Bush's collar bone. Know what? I meet amazing people already. There is a purpose to every relationship I have in my life. Trusting Her on this! I've never had casual come-and-go aquaintances! Whomever the Goddess sees fit to send my way, I try to make the best of it, no matter what the outcome. I can tell you that there are people gone from my life that I miss dearly, that I would give anything to be near again. I learned a lesson in March 2006 about being excited to meet someone 'famous'. He turned out to be a weenie. *cackle*

Television:
Kinda disappointed with tv. I turn it on for noise in the morning, when I get ready for my day. And, since I don't have time to read the paper, I can check out the weather forecast, etc. My new favorite chanel is History International. They have some good documentaries and about spooky stuff. On more than one, I've heard The Changelings, so that's pretty cooL! None of you guys must be paying attention to this, because no one told me I was a dumbass for putting "whether" when it should have been "weather." Thanks! I'm such a tool. Old episodes of MADTV are good. Ummm, yeah. Not much else.

Heroes:
My Mom, who had to be Mom AND Dad since 1989. May She Rest in Peace (1947-2005). My Brothers for being the two men in my whole life that have never waivered and for reminding me from time to time where I come from. It's the little things that count, People, not huge heroic gestures. Jimbone for taking good care of us and supporting me while I went to school so I could still concentrate on The Family. He sacrifices every day to put the wellbeing of the Wee Ones first. My High Priestess for never sugar coating the Truth about everything from The Craft to her opinion on diamonds.
