    †Xanadu Nox†'s Interests
General

† Reading, fundamental escapism which has welcomed me into an infinite amount of alternate worlds

† Alternative subcultures, especially Goth and Cyber

† Soundscapes, dreamscapes, cityscapes and horrorscapes!

† Surrealism and escapism in general (I seem to be obsessed with words containing the interfix 'scape')

† Mind alteration and experimentation, it fascinates me!

† Discovering and exploring other realms

† Industrial decadence

† Aesthetics

† The past and the future, I can't choose!

† Cuteness with a macabre twist

† Insane tea parties

† Science fiction concepts

† Psychology and the study of consciousness

† Gluborbs (my own invented term for the intangible), melancholy, sensibility and the Sublime

† Photography. Especially Simon Marsden's stuff

† Modelling. Getting into it again recently at long last!

† The occult and paranormal

† Astrophysics and astronomy, the night sky and the universe

† Chessboards, broken clocks, poisoned sweeties and anything else subtly sinister

† Mythology (especially Greek) and lore

† Exploration of different spiritual paths, especially Wicca and LaVeyan Satanism

† Philosophy, especially Existentialism and Idealism

† Dancing and escaping reality in clubs and raves (I am such a grown-up... not ^.^)

† Squat parties

† Gigs, although I can only stand in the crowd for a little while for I have a tendency to faint (really, haha! I think I just don't drink enough water!)

† Writing. Mostly random diary entries, but I also enjoy writing fiction when I get round to it. Stories and poems. One of my dearest ambitions is to write and see published at least one novel

† Atmospheric virtual landscapes like the graphics in 'American McGee's Alice'

† Postgenderist theories and aims, and Transhumanism in general

† Androgyny!

† Non-conformism and deviance. The unconventional. Acting spontaneously. Feeling free!

Television

Generally sucks.

Cheese is a kind of meat.
A tasty yellow beef.
I milk it from my teat.
But I try to be discrete.
Oh cheese!
O cheese!

I don't actually own a TV, but alas there is now the evil they call the INTERNET!! *creepy suspense music*

† The Mighty Boosh
† Skins
† Red Dwarf
† Black Adder
† Japanorama ^.^
† Documentaries

† Virginia Woolf
† Neil Gaiman
† Jeanette Winterson

† Carlos Castañeda
† Anne Rice
† Poppy Z Brite
† Edgar Allan Poe
† Jane Austen
† Ann Radcliffe

† Rachel Klein 'The Moth Diaries'
† Angela Carter 'The Bloody Chamber'
† Gaston Leroux 'The Burgled Heart'

I am strongly drawn towards psychologically disturbing books like 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath, 'Girl Interrupted' by Susanna Kaysen, and 'I'm the King of the Castle' by Susan Hill. Themes of mental illness, depression, suicide, etc... fascinate me in a strange way. Hiding from things only makes them haunt you more.

DUCK PEOPLE?

"I declare it's marked like a large chess-board!" Alice said at last.
"It's a great huge game of chess that's being played-all over the world-if this is the world at all, you know..."

Pleasure is the greatest good. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. However, I do think things through.
I seek above all to fulfill myself through some form of creativity.
I am not religious but neither am I anti-religious. I believe in spiritual advancement of the self as opposed to adherence to a deity or a set of moral codes imposed by others. We make our own destiny and are responsible for our own actions.
And it harm none do what thou wilt.
I am fascinated by the human mind.
Child-like curiosity and wonder are virtues.
I love feeling hyper, though it doesn't happen too often.

I try to be honest yet contradict myself all the time, so the best thing I can say is don't take anything I just said seriously!

Who I'd like to meet:

Magical individuals and beings who refuse to put their feet on the ground ^.^

I'm part of Asylum Girls, come take a look =)

Perfect Storm Models too ^.^
