Flamma

Flamma finally gave in..

About Me

A vegetarian witchy-goth with a long, dark and floaty style lightly scented with 'Rush'; living alone with a trio of dark cats and cackling as the neighbourhood children challenge each other to knock on the door. In the real world a research scientist working on catalysts for catalytic converters, but in another world a writer of theological and philosophical ponderings - one day the Great Work will appear.. somewhere.

“You got to be careful with isolation. It can escalate. Before you know it, you're the crazy cat lady living in the rundown house. People stop coming by to visit. You go outside, your neighbours run across the street to get away from you. Eventually, you stop going out altogether."
Grissom; CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

"As the actress said to the bishop
The rabbi and the priest
My eyes have seen the glory
I'm a born again atheist"

"I've had a GREAT time tarting with Flamma. Everyone needs to tart with Flamma."

Flamma has been flirting with the darkside : My LJ ...She can also be found on Facebook, if you know where to look ;)

My Interests

Architecture - specifically the arch part, obviously Gothic but Arabic/Moorish styles come a close second; Gardening - cultivation of a variety of useful herbs as well as ferns and shrubs, but not flowers (not even white lilies); Outside - I like being outside.. walking through woods, dozing by a river, even stomping across fields. The sounds and smells remind me that I am alive; Decorating/design/DIY - candles and candlesticks, crystals and gemstones, elephants (apparently), soft furnishings, cushions, throws and long curtains; Spirituality - everyone needs to find a reason for existing.

Random other things : fast cars, men with long hair, real wood, the moon, shopping for pretty things, sandalwood, gargoyles....

I'd like to meet:

My Sun : application forms available on request..

CURRENT MOON about the moon

Music:

Very much a trad. goth.. the Mission, (Fields of the) Ne(f)/(ph)ilim, Sisters, Depeche Mode, Xymox, Rosetta Stone, The Bolshoi, Rose of Avalanche, Bauhaus, .. et al.. More recently Mesh, VNV Nation, Covenant (bleep and glowsticks infect everyone eventually).. and never forgetting where it all started - PWEI, Carter USM, Wonderstuff, New Order, Stone Roses..

Television:

Yes, frequently. One needs something to talk to..

Books:

Factual - usually occult, science and religion/mythology.. Especially where modern science and historical magic and mythology merge.

Heroes:

No man nor so-called god is worthy of worship. True divinity lies inside.

Lazy Blogger!

The Easter Weekend

Friday - Went for a long walk, across a variety of strange fields, to the Thames somewhere in Sonning.. The weather was perfect for such endeavors - not too hot for walking, not too chilly for sitting...
