getting to know all of you in the coming battles.
I'm 5'3" short and I'll say I'm plump! I join the ranks of those refusing to
reveal their weight. <g> I'm 49 years old, a Taurus, and reside in
Pittsburgh, PA. Auburn hair that reaches just to my shoulders. Hazel eyes. I
only wear dresses at gunpoint. You'll usually see me wearing black slacks
and a black t-shirt. I love to wear black - it shows off my jewelry. <wink>
You will never find me without some dreck hanging off of me. I carry a
knapsack that says "Hogwarts" on it, and it tends to be full of all *sorts*
of useful things. I usually have a book with me 'cause I get bored awfully
easily. I'll be bringing my laptop and a cell phone to the war. I'm a movie
addict, and I have a little handheld battery-run television with a 2" screen
that I always keep in my backpack. I have a beer mug that says "Transylvania
Hofbrauhaus" on it. I got it at the Goodwill store, so I have no idea where
it originally came from.
I've played the guitar since I was a kid, and I guess I'll have to pick one
up in Toronto if I want to howl along with Vachon in the church. I actually
do have my motorcycle license.
I am a professional psychic and student of shamanism. I can use practically
anything to do a reading anymore - I've been working with tarot for 30years
now and at this point, I can do a reading with the green beans on your
plate. (favorite saying - "If I want your opinion, I'll read your
entrails!") One of the tools I use a lot is dowsing - I use dowsing rods and
a pendulum. I never go anywhere without a pendulum, although in a pinch I
use my pocketbook. <g> It works fine. Also know a technique using fingers -
the woman who taught me said, "You can be caught out without your pendulum
but you usually have your fingers with you." The rods can find lost things,
among all sorts of other nifty uses. (bet I could have dowsed my way out of
the ratpack sewers but would really not have wanted to try) I'm interested
in astrology but I'm a lousy astrologer. I am a strong empath. I *will* be
bringing dowsing rods to the war - I have a small set my teacher made me
that fit in a pocket. Will also bring tarot cards. (I've also done firewalks
<g>)
I love music, although I need to be in the mood to listen to country. Rap
makes me suicidal. I can deal with classical on a limited basis and I need
to be drunk to enjoy opera. I have been lead singer in several bands in my
growing-up years and gave concerts as a single for a long time. My voice is
kind of soothing - I have been known to put an entire wine-and-cheese party
to sleep - had to step over people to get my equipment out! Also had to wake
the hosts to get paid. Looked like everyone had been shot! I love karaoke
and my funniest moment there was when a friend signed me up to sing "Whip
It" by Devo without telling me! But I am mainly a rocker. Soft and hard. <g>
One of my favorite covers to sing with my band was "Black Dog" by
Led Zeppelin. I have an enormously eclectic music collection.
I love my computer and I believe machines are alive. Have been known to say
things like "the oven told me the toaster said..."
In case no one noticed, I tend to be verbose. <weg>
VIVA VACHON!

Never go barefoot to a snake stomping
I'll have a blue moon with a twist.
