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.

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.
I am a soprano vocalist currently studying classical singing and piano (I can also sing "normally"). I have an unusual dark color in my voice for a soprano, and no 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, 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 MySpace friends. Out of all the genres of music in the world, metal and classical are the only ones I CAN'T do without.
I am politically and socially conscious. I affiliate myself with the Libertarian Party. 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 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'm single, and I'd like to stay that way until my career takes off, because I don't want any distractions or delays! But when I do find someone, he has to be someone who shares my interests and enjoys learning as much as I do. I don't date people who either aren't educated or don't want to be. I pride myself on being well-read and informed, and I don't want to be the only one with something to say (which, when dating within my age range, I often am!) Active intelligence is a HUGE turn-on for me! Especially if the guy happens to be a smart Brit, Scot, or Scandinavian! Bonus points if he's an entertainer or artist of some sort, like I am...
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.
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 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: Please write in English! I don't have alot of time to answer messages. If that bothers you, don't add me. I do not live on my MySpace. I will not answer 15 messages a day, especially if they are filled with psychotic, unintelligble, scary rants in caps lock. If you're going to get pissed off and delete me for not replying to you in the amount of time you were hoping, then don't add me to begin with, got that?! Also, NO LOVE LETTERS!!! I am so tired of it! I'm not an exotic animal!
