*** Seriously Guys, if you created a mostly empty Myspace account just to invite people to chat with you on Yahoo or some other chat program, then you are wasting your time emailing me! I DON'T CHAT! I don't even have any chat programs installed and I WON'T install any because of anyone's sweet talk. I have a LiveJournal account and this MySpace account for communicating with, so if you can't use these sites for communicating then you are out of luck with me. Sorry, I just had to post this because I'm getting WAY too many email requests of this nature! ***Your thoughts become things every single day, no matter what the occasion, no matter where the energy vortices lie, no matter when the equinox starts, no matter what the economy is doing, no matter who is in office, no matter what you want, no matter when you want it, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what.Any other thinking just gives your power away.Love you by leaps and bounds,

Rainbows and butterflies, cattails and dandelions, waterfalls and rainforests, puppy dogs and dragonflies, sea foam and orcas, sunshine and comets, snowflakes and ice cycles, wildflowers and Astartiel....Did I think of everything, or what?Crazy, sexy, cool,

Who am I? I am a poet, philosopher, writer, singer, songwriter, photographer, future cinematographer, future film director, reiki master, eft tapper, new ager, daydream believer, computer wizard, daughter, mother, sister, lover and friend - just to name a few things.I am Jenny Johnson. I am also Guinevere Hempstead. And finally I am also Astartiel. One is my real name, one my poetry name, and one my online name. There are a million or more Jenny Johnsons in this world and as much as I love my name, it does get a bit old. Guinevere Hempstead, though is a pretty rare name. I choose the name because I almost was named Guinevere and it has always been my other name. Hempstead is a great grandmother's maiden name and I've always loved it.The name Astartiel is part of the evolution of my online name. I wrote a poem once with the made up word "Astare" in it. Then I learned of the goddess Astarte. When I started going online on a regular basis around 1995, I choose Astarte as my username. But when I would go to New Age websites, I'd find that the name was not uncommon. So, I changed it to Astartae (which I found out later is literally plural for Astarte). Then that name also began to get use. SO, I thought about it and played around with my username until I came up with Astartiel a few years ago, and it's been that ever since.I have a challenge to meet:To go beyond what I've done, where I’ve been and who I have become. To do more, go more places and be more.I am dedicated to the depths of my soul and down to each strand of DNA in my body to meet this challenge.It is a challenge I must meet every second of my life – every heartbeat of my body – every fiber of my soul - and I'm dedicated to meeting it totally and completely.If anyone making a film, public television program or documentary of any kind filming in the South Western Black Hills and Plains areas of South Dakota and surrounding area needs another person for pretty much any job, I'm your woman. I will work for next to no pay - just gas money to get me there will do. I'm looking for experience. I can't afford to go to school right now and I can't uproot my daughter that way. So, I have only the school of life - all of you already trained and working in this business - to teach me. I'm a willing student wanting to learn all about cinematography and digital film work as I can. I learn computer and camera things very quickly and find I enjoy working equally with both. Currently I make my living doing computer installing and repairing but I'm more interested in using computers in the entertainment and educational purposes of "moving pictures." I'm quite amazed at what you can do with a computer to help make a movie like an old film-maker who remembers the beginning might. Perhaps I reincarnated from another life as a film director back in the 1920's or something but I have deep feelings about film-making from very early on as a child that has never left me despite all efforts by others to grind me down. So, here I am online trying to let others in the world know what I'm about and what I'm striving to become. What do I want to become? I want to become someone that knows all aspects of film-making from sound mechanics to camera operation to editing to directing to even acting, if I have to. And I'm willing getting coffee or whatever to start. Like I said, if you are in the area and need another person for pretty much any film or television job (nothing naughty now! ;-), then let me know through here or my email address astartiel at gmail.I am currently seeking a creative position with a television, radio, film, video or photography company where I can engage in work that contributes my comprehensive computer, writing, music, photography, multi-tasking, research, editing and interpersonal skills to both my and my employer’s greatest advantage. Please contact me, if you want to see a resume and consider me for employment. ;-)I desire to spend my life traveling and immersing myself in the many varied and amazing cultural experiences, events and places in the world from local theatre to far-flung ancient monuments, from art museums to anthropological digs, from giant skyscrapers to small, out of the way Indian resturants. Fantasies of traveling and seeing all there is to see in the world seem to fill most of my spare hours.I believe in art - poetry, music and film especially. I am seeking to find employment that lets me express myself through poetry, music and film.I am very interested in finding film work as a production assistant, film director or other "entry level" position. ;-) If you find you want to give a girl like me a chance to change the odds of women making movies these days and help me try to do what I just might love, then please let me know. I'd also love to get paid for singing, songwriting, poetry writing, photography, research, numerology reports, reiki, eft, editing or writing. If I can't make money off my talents and interests, then why have them at all?PS - I recently worked as an extra in National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. ;-) Yay me! Look for the back of my head at the end of the movie when you watch it in the theater this winter!My Online Presence: Astartiel's Expressions & Creations - My personal website - which houses my biography, my goals, my resume, my favorites lists, some of my poetry, numerology reading stuff, reiki stuff, Jane Robert's quotes (Seth & Tweety's Little Book), Motivational Quotes, political viewpoint pages, and my "Love of Viggo" page (about a crush I have on some weird Danish-American artist guy for about ten years now). So, reader beware. You may find out more about me than you'd like! ;-) Astartiel's Dream - This is where I have a few of my humble attempts at singing my more musical poems. If you want to add me, then add my myspace music profile too. Thanks! Astartiel's Talent Profile - I just made an account here so there isn't much to look at yet. Eventually I'll add photos, poetry, etc. Go check it out and make one for yourself while you are at it! Astartiel's deviantArt - My photos and poetry - I've been scribbling words and taking artsy photos since I was a teenager. Now, thanks to the internet, I can subject the world to my odd viewpoint on it and everyone and thing within it. Astartiel's LiveJournal - My day-to-day journal about my life and thoughts, dreams and ideas I have about it. Astartiel's Facebook - I'm just starting an account here, so if you have an account there too, I'd appreciate you adding me there too. Astartiel's Resume - Perhaps after reading all of the above, you desire to hire me. Stranger things have happened. If so, then go take a gander at my resume and by all means do hire me!..
