Heroes
I worked at an animal rescue shelter for five years. I still carry the emotional scars. I have a great admiration and deep respect for anyone who can work directly with victims of animal cruelty year in and year out without losing hope, without losing their compassion, and without losing themselves.
Don't Shop! Adopt!
Also, my kids, Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, Aleister Crowley, Mahatma Ghandi, Marquis de Sade, and Maynard James Keenan
Unless I am in a natural (outdoor) setting, whatever else I may be doing (with the possible exception of watching television), I am nearly always listening to music. Sometimes I will even give myself completely to a song and play just that one song over and over nonstop. (Mostly Seether, K's Choice, Tool, Led Zeppelin, AIC, and Godsmack, though I've done this with possibly hundreds of songs over the years.) It amazes those around me that I never tire of these songs. It amazes me that they can claim to love a song, but can't listen to it repeatedly. (Doesn't that mean they only like the song?) If math is the language of the universe (and maybe even if it isn't), music is the language of the soul.
I enjoy some of just about every type of music (depending on my mood), and all of no type, but mostly I just like my music to be "full-bodied and meaningful," although fast and fun is great too! I gravitate mostly to rock: hard and heavy. My favorite instruments to listen to are vocals, electric guitar, and the violin - in that order. In sum, I like what my ears like and don't like what they don't. "Bitch-ho pop a cap in yo ass rap" sucks.
Aside from music...
"Eccentric" is probably the best way to describe my personality. I love to learn about the history of our species, our planet, and our universe; though I must constantly remind the TV, books, and internet that nearly everything they tell me is THEORY and not fact. I enjoy learning about religions and cultures (past and present), and how/why things work. (Not that I remember very much of what I learn, but I enjoy it all the same.) When it comes to things I care about, I tend to be quite opinionated (Spay and neuter your pets, dammit!), but I find I tend to differ from many people in what I consider important.
I'm not very social because I find most people annoying, so if you find yourself on the short list of people with whom I enjoy spending time, be impressed with you. I am!
My Favorite Activities:
CONCERTS!
camping (primitive - RV'ers are cheaters!)
Web Research (wikipedia rocks!) I've been known to set out to find a definition and 12 hours later I can't tell you what that word was, but I can tell you interesting things currently believed about ancient egyptian culture.
Sitting in relative silence mesmerized by moonlight dancing on the largest body of water I can find, which is currently Keystone lake.
Sitting in relative silence mesmerized by flames dancing in a fire pit.
Painting - I paint with acrylics on canvas board (mainly because I'm poor and they're relatively cheap).
I also happen to have Fibromyalgia (aka FM or FMS) which may be at least partially responsible for my occasional bouts of crankiness.
Faerie: Aren't you a cute little flying person? Faeries are earth spirits. They live among each element completely hidden. They have cousins called Pixies. Pixies however, are very mischevious. They enjoy tormenting other creatures for fun. Little pranksters.. I hope you never meet one. Pixies have a bad reputation for finding a creature and clinging to them until death. Faeries can be somewhat close to a Pixie, but mostly they are loving, playful, and carry with them a child-like enthusiasm for life. Hide among the pedals of a Daisy, you are a Faerie.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 because I was too lazy to bother doing it all by myself.
And I freakin' LOVE this song:
YES!!! Move over Wierd Al... there's a new kid in town!
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone that wants me to vote for them.
I'd also like to meet Boadicea and Cleopatra because history remembers them as strong women, and I think that's pretty cool. It'd also be awesome to meet Julius Caesar, Jesus of Nazareth (pre-crucifixion), Buddha, Mahatma Ghandi, John Lennon, Marquis de Sade, Aleister Crowley, Mark Twain, and Maynard Keenan. I dig people who think outside the box. Of course, for a few of these people, I'd want safety assurances in case I pissed 'em off. :)
