I like a pretty vast array of things, My two major favorites being classical/opera and metal... especially when combined! I love all kinds of metal and ambient music, some folk and various forms of cultural music. Anything that obviously took more than two brain cells to make, and is made for people with more than two brain cells. ;) Anything unusual, provocative, and thoughtful. I don't like generic, thoughtless, ultra-commercial music.

"Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized." - Albert Einstein
For my dreams, I hold my life
For wishes, I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
-Nightwish, "Sleeping Sun"
Angels... they fell first, but I'm still here
-Nightwish, "End of All Hope"
Just a foreword: I have alot of friends on here, but I am NOT merely a friend-collector! When time allows me to, I will respond.
Anyways!
Hello there, I'm Leja Siv. I'm a free spirit. I consider myself a very well-rounded person, and seek out similar minds to reflect with. Welcome to my corner.
Let me just say that I am EXTREMELY opinionated: If you can't take the proverbial heat, stay out of the proverbial kitchen. If you don't like outspokenness, you will NOT like me! I believe that "tact" is a thinly veiled euphemism for lying, therefore I ignore it entirely! >:)
I am a mezzo-soprano vocalist currently studying classical singing and piano (I can also sing "normally"). I have an unusual dark color in my voice, even for a mezzo, and no clearly defined "breaking point". My love of classical singing was ignited by Finnish soprano Tarja Turunen, but my other influences in singing include everyone from Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, English soprano Sarah Brightman, Greek-American soprano Diamanda Galas, American lyric soprano Emmy Rossum, Norwegian dramatic Wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad, and of course my amazing teacher, coloratura soprano Johanna M.R.!) to non-classical singers like Italian contralto Cristina Scabbia (from Lacuna Coil), among many others.
I'm also the founder, editor, contributor, and general overseer for HAILSwebzine, a web-based magazine focusing on metal music that I began in October of 2008 with a few friends. However, I am currently the only permanent contributor on board with the project. Out of all the genres of music in the world, metal and classical are the only ones I CAN'T do without.
I'm inspired by metaphysics, spirituality, and all things esoteric... things that are perhaps too big for people to fully comprehend in our delicate mortal forms... Out of personal curiosity, I devote some time to the studies of philosophy, religion, and theology. I'm in the process of writing a few Astrology books that combine Eastern (Chinese) Astrology and Western.
I'm a Sagittarius... which is symbolically a centaurian archer (Sagittarius is Latin for "the Archer"). I personally think it's the most badass Sign in the Zodiac.
I'm single, and I'm enjoying it. I don't date for the sole sake of dating; I like people who are intelligent and informed. No dumb-dumbs and meatheads for me, kthxbye.
I'm quite friendly but I'm brutally honest, and I don't apologize for the things I do, say, think, or feel. I do not seek approval from others, nor do I care if you like what I have to say or what I do with my life. I have never been one to take crap from anyone. I do NOT enjoy - nor do I tolerate - being treated like a piece of meat. I enjoy compliments, yes, but there's a fine line between acceptable and unacceptable. Watch where you're walking on that line.
Haha... and since I get asked about my hair alot: Yes, my hair is REAL. I have absolutely no extensions and it's not a wig. Fake hair maintenance requires patience, and I have none for that kind of thing. :p

I'd like to meet pretty much anyone...
Particularly other artists, musicians, various rights activists, and anyone with an open mind and a good heart. Productive and progressive people. Creators. Thinkers. Dreamers. Those who, on occasion, have been known to engage with that lovely organ we're all given but few of us really use - the brain. If you've got a sense of humor that's also a plus - I'm notorious for inciting some laughs and ruckus here and there myself. If you can come up with some ha-has along the way, snaps for you.
Other classical music and ambient music lovers. Folk and traditional music lovers too. Metalheads of all kinds.
I'd also like to meet other astrology enthusiasts who might like to contribute ideas to my book (whether artistically or otherwise - I'm looking for awesome astrology-related artwork to add to my publications... and someone that I can whine about Mercury's retrogrades to, talk about transits with, and who knows what "conjuct", "trine", "opposition", "square", and all the other fancy astrological terms mean.)
NOTE: I am very busy, and am not always able to reply within the desired amount of time. I DO read my messages and comments. I DO appreciate them. I am not merely a friend collector.
I also really want to meet the people who made these:
