Alas, I be a Renaissance Faire enthusiast, can ye tell???... Mayhaps mine captured image gave me away, ya think??? *lol*... {'Tis mine son standing beside me, *proud mama smile*}... Mayhaps it be the fact that I seem to possess, {dinna ask me why or from whence it comes, *lol*}, a talent, {or so I be told, *lol*}, for writin' in a tortured version o' 'Ye Olde Englysh' that folk seem to enjoy~~~ *vbs*

Now mine 'hobbies', if ye will, be right aligned with all things Renaissancy as well... ASTROLOGY- {Magi, Evolutionary, Sidereal}~~~ TAROT Cards- {too many decks to have a favourite, *lol*}~~~ All things PAGAN- {New Age, Qabalah, Wicca, Shamanism, Tantrism, etc. etc. etc. *lol*}~~~ ASCENSION/ALCHEMY- {Paul Foster Case & Dennis William Hauck, respectively, mine favourite teachers}~~~ POLITICS- {Noam Chomsky, mine favourite author}~~~ MUSIC- {Loreena McKennit, mine favourite songstress}~~~ PEACE ON EARTH- {a Practioner o' Harmlessness, Random Acts o' Kindness, & other delightful, Earth-friendly/Folk-friendly doings, *vbs*}~~~ and, o'course, REN FAIRES!

NOW FOR THE "REAL WORLD" *lol*

In the Real World, I be just like thee... more or less, *giggle*... I speak in modern English, dress in modern clothing, and pass for a normal human being~~~ *lol*

At present, I be a Chatelaine, {ie: Mistress o' the Manor, ie: HomeMaker, *lol*}, altho in the past mine profession be that o' Office Manager~~~ I love to cook {MmmMmm}, decorate, garden, read, hike, listen to music- dance, drum, and sing- paint statuary, make designer garlands, combs, and ties for lassies tresses, as well as other various craftings--> candlemaking, mosaics, hook rug, faux-finish painting}, AND shop 'til I drop, *lol*- garage sales, swap meets, auctions, online stores, junk stores, antique stores, and bargain-basement-closeout stores... Oh, oh, oh!!! *lol*... {dinna care for the mall so verra much tho}, *lol*

I want to make mine own website, but havena, as yet, pursued such an undertaking, since I mostly dinna know what I be doin' in this... how to go about it... I dinna even know what HTML be!!! *lol*, {except that now, due to Epinions, I have learned to make bold and italic, so I guess that qualifies as HTML, eh??? *lol*}... Ahhh, weel... just one more thing to learn and master... Hope springs eternal, aye???... {adds this to her million-and-one-things-to-do list}, *lol*

As o' Christmas 2003, I now do dwell with mine fiancee, *vbs*, on 2 1/2 acres o' rurality in Flagstaff, Arizona, and just love it here, {having moved from born and bred Southern California via Colorado Springs & Loveland, CO; then on to Phoenix, AZ; back to So. Calif., and now Arizona again}... Whew... that be a LOT o' journeys!!!... I be exhausted just reading it, *lol*

Mine fiancee be a railroad conductor, and we just-so-happened to meet online in a Spiritual Chatroom!!! Now we be planning our Wedding, a Renaissance affaire, *vvvbs*

~~~ UPDATE ~~~ Weel... we did it!!!... Mine beloved and I were marrit on December 4, 2004, *vvvbs*... Alas, due to the astrologies, {we got the proper dates for our auspicious beginning from yon astrologers o'er at Magi Astrology, *s*}, we hadst to put together a wedding fast, *lol*, else have waited until August 2005... eeesh!!!... So, we have decided to have the 'Renaissancy' part more as a 'fun' re-enactment o' our most solemn vows... Oh, to have the Queen herself bless, the fairemaiden's swirl, the knights swagger, the children clap, and feast on such festive delights, *giggle*... a dream come true for us... Will keep ye posted on this, *vbs*

Weel... 'tis time for the Maiden to take her leave o' thee... Bless'd Be gentle folk... {curtsy's deeply}...

~~~Peace Attend Thee, always and in all ways~~~
