If God hadn't rested on Sunday, He would have had time to finish the world. [Gabriel García Márque

About Me

I got suckered into making a myspace. If you know me, you already know that I am a thinker, all the time and any time. I am really a philosopher at heart. My goal right now is searching for my spiritual self, though I do not personally agree with organized religion. I am also trying to develop my writing, which is one of my talents. You can see my poetry page at www.eliteskills.com/u/WolfStar.
I'm in IB, which makes me busy, stressed, and moody some of the time. Enough said. Also going slowly vegetarian, just to try something new.
I believe in the fight for equal rights and hope to make a difference one day, particularly with the issues of sexism and homophobia. I love to discuss/debate religion, spirituality, social issues, and political philosphy, but I do understand that no matter how I justify my opinions, my beliefs are personal. My opinions are just as valid (or invalid) as anyone else's.

Results:You are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone. Stressful and frustrating situations can often be upsetting to you, but you are sometimes able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. Novelty, variety, and change spice up your life and make you a curious, imaginative, and creative person. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You set clear goals and pursue them with determination. People regard you as reliable and hard-working.

My Interests

I love writing (especially poetry), reading, and listening to new music. I love cats (want to be one when I grow up). I also have a bit of a fascination with cannibalism.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Alex Band again (for more than the two minutes I met him before), but other than him, I'd like to meet someone who isn't afraid to argue with me.I edited my profile at Doobix.com
Myspace Layouts

Music:

Soundtracks, world music of all sorts, anything with good lyrics. Strong aversion to rap.

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride, and I've seen it so many times that I wrote the whole thing down from memory. Other favorites include V For Vendetta (the best movie I've seen in a long time), Donnie Darko, and Mommie Dearest.

Television:

I like shows where girls kick some serious ass, like Xena and Alias. I also like Six Feet Under (the best series I have ever seen) and The Golden Girls. And of course, Daria.

Books:

My favorite book is the The Mists of Avalon, mostly because it was the book that made me think about my spiritual self and what it means to be a woman. My favorite author is Anne Rice, who makes me challenge what I believe every day. I also like Sara Douglass, Jacqueline Carey, and David Eddings.

Heroes:

My hero is definitely my sister. There has never been another person in my life who has sacrificed more for me, and her strength and her determination make me want to be more and do more with my life.

Celebrating nature

I've taken to meditating lately. It's really helped me decompress and let go of all the stress I feel during the day. It's good to feel still and enter a quiet space. I don't think I'll ever need reli...

We hurt each other and laugh about it. We miss others when they are gone, but do not value them when they are still around. We keep people alive in us long after they have stopped thinking o...
