Heroes
Be your own hero.
You are the Devil card. The Devil is based on the figure Pan, Lord of the Dance. The earthy physicality of the devil breeds lust. The devil's call to return to primal instincts often creates conflict in a society in which many of these instincts must be kept under control. Challenges posed by our physical bodies can be overcome by strength in the mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Pan is also a symbol of enjoyment and rules our material creativity. The devil knows physical pleasure and how to manipulate the physical world. Material creativity finds its output in such things as dance, pottery, gardening, and sex. The self-actualized person is able to accept the sensuality and usefulness of the devil's gifts while remaining in control of any darker urges.

About me: Hi. My name is Roach. No, I don't smoke the pot.
Here are some things worth knowing, I suppose.
I think eating/using animals and living our lives in a way that is unsustainable is selfish and totally lame.
I am the destroyer of cars, and thus am in the market for my next biodiesel ride.
I have a great fondness for having inappropriately intelligent discussions in all the wrong places...
People don't believe me when I tell them I'm actually quite shy and modest.... I suppose all that running my mouth off on a megaphone gives a girl a reputation....
I'm a part-time bartender and barback, I braid hair, Go-Go dance a few times a month, and adore making food that people don't realize is vegan. I still occasionally play with fire, audition when I feel I have the time for it, and am seeking out a troupe of people who have no problem being arrested for art.
I believe in many causes... I'm a giant bleeding heart who has always wanted to change the world.
I am also a super caffeine junkie plus and (not so)under-cover subversive.
A helpful definition if you'd like to be acquainted:
Feminism: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.
Who I'd like to meet: Someone that floors me, someone that challenges me. Lovers, artists, poets, and tricksters. The manic, passionate people that make the world tick. I want to meet people that take my breath away.
