About Me


Buried at PhotoCasket.com

I'm a a huge rock n roll fan...I have been since I was young. I got my first album when I was about 5. I grew up on The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and all the 60's and 70's bands...but soon graduated to 70's punk and 80's metal music. My music tastes is very diverse.....from The Carpenters to Motley Crue, and so on and so on. It's in my blood and will be forever. I'm an avid supporter of local bands...as well as nationally known acts. I'm a groupie in the sense of the music really.....I can't live without 'em and I love every single one of my rocker boys and girls. I have a respect for someone who goes out and fulfills their dreams. You make my life complete. Thank-you.

ATTENTION!!! If you know me..then feel free to add me. If you're seriously into wanting to make friends and chat then fine. Please...no stalkerish e-mails or posts. You freak me out when you do that. If you're trolling for a lay, you're looking in the wrong place, so please move along and go onto the next victim. Read that again please......NO.....I DON'T WANT TO HOOK UP WITH ANYONE........so your messages to "meet up" will be ignored and or deleted, depending how funny or stupid they are. I may chose to use them to metaphorically bitch slap you in public. I come here for shits and giggles...and to keep in touch with my friends, and to network with others that have similar interests. I have a life off the internet. Yes, I want to meet friends (ONCE AGAIN)....FRIENDS. Enough said.

Onto more pleasant things......

Well, I'm a full time Mother, full-time Photographer and a full-time student and teacher to myself. I'm a busy girl...but I'm always up to meeting people from all over the world.

Aside from my seemingly normal, boring life, I consider myself very creative...with a taste for the dark and erotic. Self-expression is the ultimate release. I love my artsy-fartsy alter-ego..and hope to do more with it in the future. I have an interest in the darker side of things. I have an unstopable, strange, borderline unhealthy obsession with medival folklore, myths and history. I thrive on it. I'm a collector of any history books on european history........such as the true folklore behind our childrens tales.....like Snow White, Cinderella, Bluebeard, Robin Hood. I also have countless books on Joan of Arc, witchcraft, celtic history, the Roman Empire and Greek mythology. I also have an odd interest in old, cheesy movies from the 20's and 30's....especially silent movies. The allure of them is undeniable. I love vintage jewelry and clothes and black and white film. I love the digital age...but nothing beats a good ol' B&W pic. Anything antique, used and abused with a story to tell. Classic, classic, CLASSIC. Paranormal investigations are cool. I have lots of books on the subject. There's alot that can be explained away by simple logic and common sense. In retrospect....there's so much about this earth and beyond that we don't know about and couldn't understand. Not all of them are hoaxes. Interesting....to say the least... Also, trivia always sparks my interest. Ya know...the stupid shit that noone thinks or cares about.

FYI...I have an Online Dead Journal so if you have precious time to waste, go over and check out my tantrums and blurbs! If you don't like what you read, then tough shit. Life sucks sometimes, doesn't it??

XOXOXO~Amy

I love this website...I've always had a love for myths, folklore, medieval history, etc. I have a Unicorn tattoo... and The Eternal Phoenix will be added to my body art collection very soon. Check it out!Lady Gryphon's Mythical Realm

My Interests


Buried at PhotoCasket.com

Reading, CREATIVITY...physically and mentally, the protection and care of animals, spending time with my 3 cats...Nicodemus, Chyna and Shamhna, animal rights and the ASPCA, conservation, obsessively recycle everything ( I hate wastefulness....it makes me crazy), educating myself and learning from others, lasting periods of time with complete silence (silence is bliss), playing in the BOYS CLUB, pondering, history and folklore ** Antiquity, The Dark Ages, Medieval, Renaissance and Victorian times**, antique jewelry shopping...then thinking things like "I wonder who this belonged to? Did they love it? How did it end up here?", photographing cemeteries (I don't find them creepy...I find them peaceful), sitting on the rocks by the light house at dawn and watching the waters of Lake Michigan crawl up the sand, tigers, leopards, cheetahs ( or any of the large cats), gladiators, barbarians, celtic tribes, the druids, Romanian gypsys, pirates, hearing the fog horn blow in the night, taking very loud motorcycle rides at 3am on silent streets and hearing the rolling thunder bounce off the passing buildings, loud concerts and gleefully being in the front row.....the lights, the rush, slicing the breeze on horseback, appreciating light and shadows, living within the dark and the light, healthy balances, history of Samhain and witchcraft in modern times, breathing in fresh air, individuals who appreciate a warped sense of humor, the smell of burning leaves, camp fires and wet pine trees, unicorns and horses, gourging and endulging on sea-food (crab legs are my reason for being), giving and getting a hug from a friend I haven't seen in years, exercising....favorably running on a cool, fall evening, marital arts (I've competed in the past and won 1st place in sparring), watching my Son grow into a man, crying over stupid shit (like commercials), exploring, adrenaline rushes, understanding human emotional strengths and weaknesses, laughing, spirituality, becoming one with the mind, heart and soul, supernatural phenomenon, paranormal investigations ( I would totally love doing this...and my photography background and knowledge of electronical devices always help) , hauntings, ghosts, things that go "bump" in the night, historic religions and the scientific relics that lay in the dust for thousands of years, the Salem witch trials and the hysteria that surrounded it, the Black Dahlia murder,fear of the unknown, psychology, archaeology, having an occasional glass of champane while enjoying fine food.

I live a sober life and gave up the bar-fly lifestyle many years ago. I rarely drink (only on occasion) and don't do drugs. I've watched too many friends struggle or lose their lives because of addiction. There's nothing wrong with enjoying life....but please be responsible. Life's a gift and there's so many that throw it away. Enjoy every minute...every second. Make it count.

I'm a photographer...so I spend alot of time with a camera in my hand. I'm adverturous and like to have a great time....where ever that may be. Going to concerts during the summer is basically my full time job. Being a sometime R&R photographer is a hobby...but I'd love to do wildlife photography or filming.

******************************************** I'M A PROUD & AVID SUPPORTER OF THE ASPCA!! ASPCA OFFICIAL WEBSITE

I'd like to meet:


Your aura shines Green!
You are Bettie Page
Girl next door with a wild streak
You're a famous beauty - with unique look
And the people like you are cultish about it What Famous Pinup Are You?

Anyone that is creative and loves music. I'm classic in my tastes. I'm one of those strange, artsey girls that has been known to hang at art galleries and cafes during the day....but then I hit the divey clubs, and loose myself in our little nothing local scene at night. Very dorky...but fun. I've had the pleasure of being in the presence of some awesome people. I want to meet people who inspire me to further my creative endeavors.

PLEASE READ: Meeting new people is always fun...but a gamble. I adore kind, considerate, compassionate people. Example: I absolutely love animal lovers and those that rescue them from the clutches of heartless, worthless, abhorrent pieces of sub-human filth. I hate abusers, users, liars, etc. It's a relatively simple concept...but easier said then done. I've had enough of backstabbing, self-centered instigators. I've had enough of false friends. I keep to myself...and stay tight with people I trust.....but am more then willing to allow my trust to flow to others....if they win my trust. I'm fiercely independant....too much so sometimes (raising a child completely on your own for 19 years will do that)......to the point of being alone and enjoying it. I put my energy and dedicated the better part of my life into my Son and provided a stable, decent environment. My sacrifices have paid off....a hundred fold.....and he's a decent young man who's finding himself and starting to build his own life.....not a loser that gets in trouble, runs around acting like an ass ( like sooooo many young men his age). I've came to the happy conclusion that I will die a lonely old maid.....and I'm content with it. Call it an "issue"...call it fear....call it whatever you want. I hate ass-kissers and ego-strokers. I'd rather be honest then participate in the mechanical head-nodding that I've seen time and time again. I love to learn from others and hear different opinions about subjects...as long as everyone stays in check and behaves. I love people that can win the intellectual arguement and do so by means of the higher ground. I adore my close friends... I can be the best friend in the world...or your worst enemy. I'd rather be locked in a room by myself for the rest of my life...knowing I'm being true to myself and those I care about, then deal with the endless parade of bullshit/drama/nonsense that constantly occurs on the internet and elsewhere. I took an extended leave of absense from the cyber space for a long time. Life is too short, and frankly, I don't have the time or patience to deal with it. DRAMA QUEENS NEED NOT APPLY. Time is precious...don't ever waste it....and please don't waste mine. Keep it real. I try my best to keep in touch with as many as I can....but my online time is very limited. Don't take it personally if I don't respond back to you. It's a matter of the time I'm allowed. Hopefully in the future, I will be back up and running at home. Until then, this is it.

I grew up loving the New York scene...Ramones ( RIP :( ), Blondie ( my all time favorite), Talking Heads. I love the old school punk like the Dead Boys. I also love old Ziggy Stardust & Sex Pistols. I've also had a taste for the goth scene for years. (This section will be edited alot...cuz there's too many to name!)

Heroes:

..I actually have many heroes that I look up too. I love people that stand up for what is right, despite pressures from the opposition. I can't stand spineless cowards that go along for the ride....even when they know that ride goes against what they believe....or could hurt someone else. I hate followers, cattiness, narcissistic chumps and self-glorifing attention whores. The world doesn't revolve around you and you're no better then anyone else........so get over yourself.
