Want to know something about me? E-mail me and ask anything you want! I will put it here! 1. What is the one lyric you think describes you best? EEEK! That's a good one Afrai. Ok the following lyrics from "Bloodclot" by Rancid are my anthem. "Read your words or raise your banner of hope, yeah Well I kick my way in it seems to piss you all off Well I try to shut the gates the walls are fading I climb from the depths of hell I’m escaping" that whole song is pretty much just "Me" and this wee bit from Roots Radicals, also by Rancid. "With he music execution and the talk of revelution bleeds in me..." cause the music is always in my blood! 2. You're obviously a huge fan of The Lord of The Rings. What is the one thing that encapsulates everything you love about LOTR -- the essence of it, as it were? Oh wow. Just one thing huh? Allright. What encapsulates the essence of it? Honestly that moment in Lothlorien where Boromir is describing Gondor to Aragorn. You see so many things flash in his face, his eyes. Hope, sorrow, pain, fear, pride, regret...love...it just sums up all of the emotions of the movie at once for me. There are others but that is the major one. 3. What's your occupation? I am a college chickie taking some difficult honors courses. Other than that secretarial work! YAY! 4. Do you like cats?Love them! I own one named Kira after the Star-Trek character Bjoran Kira Narrise and she is actually half asian leopard and weighs more than both my dogs. 5. You're a pagan, right? How did that come about?My friend Clinton from many, many years ago was a Pagan. I was honestly never comfortable being raised Irish Catholic. It just did not fit me. I was considering Buddhism, but Clinton was a pagan, and after many long talks he started teaching me and I never really looked back. The religion just fell into place for me! 6. When did you really get into punk, and why? Wow, I was a young kid. The first distinct punk song I heard was "Ball and Chain" by Social Distortion. I loved it but never quite followed it up. Then i heard "Salvation" by Rancid, I hated it at first because I couldnt figure out a fuckin' thing Tim was saying. As a joke my friend bought me the albulm. Intending to piss me off, it actually backfired and I fell so hopelessley in love with it it never left my sight. It went progressivley downhill after that. I realized that the music was a lifestyle and it flowed in my veins instead of blood. So I never looked back. 7. Describe yourself ... in Elvish! Yay! Ok I will just describe myself with various words. I love doing that, just using random words to describe yourself. I have spoken elvish for three years now so this should be fun. Vanya {Beautiful} because I think my personality if nothing else is.}, Cuina {Alive} because I live everday like my last.},Melda {Beloved} because all of my sisters seem to love me so much.}, Rácina {Broken} because I have been through so dammn much some parts of me just cannot be super-glued back together anymore.}, Endë {Centered} because I know exactly who I am.}, Nulla {Dark, dusky, obscure} because I have odd morbid moments.}, Olórë {Dream} because they are such a huge part of my life.}, Lúcë {Enchanting} because I can be when I want to be.}, Voronwa {Enduring} because That's the only thing I can attribute to how I have survived my life thus far.}, Uruva {Fiery} because I AM a fire elemnt and most certainly am just that.}, Nilmë {Friendship} because without it my life would be meaningless.}, Estel {Hope} one of the other things that has helped me survive.}, Nausë {Imagination} because without it I could have NEVER survived.}, Ilfirin {Immortal} I know people will remember me when I am gone, just not sure if that's good or bad.}, Melmë {Love} because even if we dont want to admit it, we all live for it.}, Tinúviel or Lómelindë {Nightingale} because it is part of my elvish name and is s huge part of me.}, Osellë {Sisters}, because without all of you I would be nothing.} 8. What are the languages you speak? Quenya, Sindarin, Common Elvish, a bit of Russian, Latin, Gaelic, and after next semester at Uni Arabic. I can also read Egyptin Hieroglyphs because of my religion. 9. Favourite television programmes? I used to watch t.v., before I got my computer!LOL! I like Farscape, C.S.I., any deep ocean type shows on the Discovery Channel, and I am frequently forced into watching Star Trek thanks to my Trekkie brother. 10. Words to live by? "Times are gonna change, change or step aside. It's my point of view that took you by surprise. The sun's comin up, yea a new dawn arrives. A generation standing, stand with anger in their eyes." from Avenues and Alleyways by Rancid. The following questions come from my amazing Amazing sis Amy so here they are! Thanks sis! 1) What do you believe you are destined to do in life? Good one Amy...very good. I have felt/known since about 14 or 15 that I wanted to change things. I want to change society....social change is part of my destiny. Thusly why despite a thousand people begging and pleading with me NOT TO DO IT I have chosen War Journalism as my career choice. Social change and awareness has been a longstanding issue with punks, the older ones anyway, not the 15 year old teeny-boppers that run around now...and that's what I intend to do. 2) Favorites? (any category) LMAO! Uh-oh, this could get long. Let's see....Punk Music: Old hard core, Rancid, The Exploited, Social Distortion, Dead Kennedy's etc etc that sort of stuff. Dogs: Irish Wolfhounds and Pekignese. Seafood: Calamari...YUM! SQUID! Soda: Dr. Pepper and Code Red Mountain Dew. Alcohlic Beverages: Have latley had a thing for Bailey's on the rocks. Used to be White Russians and Mudslides. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Gin, also Vodka, Tequila and all kinds of strange junk me and my friends make. Clothes: I usally wear my typical punk garb, bondage pants, saftey-pinned t-shirts, knee-high boots, studded bracelets etc etc but I ALSO do the elvish look, long, airy, flowy gowns and such! Junk Food: Twinkies, potato chips, cookie dough {raw of course} and tons of other stuff, I put whipped cream on pizza. Oh yes, and chocolate n my toast in the morning with marshmallow fluff! Accesory: Saftey pins and patches. Animal :Sting-Ray. Colors: Emerald green, amethyst purple, Garnet red, sterling silver and black...and OK FINE! Hot pink! Quotes: Pick a random Rancid lyric from any albulm, any song and I can manage to relate it to my life I guranteee it. Also my sis Aeryn has managed some funny crap as has my other sis Heather. Makeup: Well I am kind of the anti-girly girl and I have a VERY fair complexion so I dont wear alot unless I am really playing it up, but I always wear red lipstick, matches my BRIGHT red streaks in my hair. Books: Tolkien of course! I think I shall end on that note since this could drag on forever! 3) Describe your happiest moment ever. You know, up until now there had only been a couple of these, There are MORE THAN ONE...LOL! First we have when I met Benji and fell head over heels in love with the purple-mohawked punk boy. Secondly we have when I got to meet Rancid at the Warped Tour last year and actually got to exlain that they were what helped keep me alive. Thirdly when I started the Sistership, it gave me a sense of accomplishment and I am SO proud. Fourthly when I met Aeryn because her and I just have this "BOND" if I could describe it I would Laslty when I met Craig and the first time he said he loved me, even if he DID stutter it out! Why did you live on the streets for those two years? NOOOOOOOOOO not to personal at all. It was a matter of several problems all converging at once. My parents had long since been divorced but were on even worse terms, fighting over MY future, so my family life was a mess. My whole life felt like one never-ending mess, and I KNEW if I didnt leave I was going to have a mental breakdown and lose it utterly, I had allready tried to kill myself once and had nearly suceeded being legally dead for 3 minutes. So I needed freedom, so I left. I wasn't kicked out or anything, I just left of my own free will! I could have came home, but I learned more out there and felt freer than I ever have in my life and may have stayed had Benji not "Just dissapeared". 5) What were you like as a child? I was the oppisite of my self now in some ways. I have always however been loud and obnoxious though! I was a cute, bouncy, bubbly hyper blonde girl raised in a Irish family. I was preppy and cutsey but I learned to talk very early, I was talking before 6 months and such. I started readinbg very early on to and rogressed really quick with reading skills....sadly my math skills didnt progress as quick!LMAO! I was alot more atypical as a child, I hit 13 howeber and that all changed! Allright! More questions! These from my wonderful sis Georgie so thanks babe! 1. What are your beliefs (if thats not too personal) i.e Do you believe in God or a God or Many? Heaven/Hell or others etc etc?. Noooooo not to personal Georgie! Being a pagan I actually believe in many Gods and Goddesse's! That's the thing about paganism, we practically have a deity for everything, so I worship more than one, but our main deity is that of Luna or the Moon Goddess! 2. Do you have a certain CD or a band that you listen to, that when you hear it/them you just get on this automatic high, and it just feels great? (i know your probably gonna say Rancid :): LMAO! You know me FAR to well sis! Yes, Rancid, either Life Wont Wait or Out Come The Wolves...both give me this incredibly, indescribable, euphoric adrenaline rush.....I cant explain it other than the music flows in my veins instead of blood. 3. Is it just Boromir, or do you like Sean Bean as well? I actually love Sean as well! He is a great actor, he was wonderful in "Dont Say a word" of course I am the BIGGEST Boromir fan...but having Sean play my Boromir didn't hurt at all! 4. Are you scared of anything. i.e the dark, spiders? I am afraid of losing what I love the most....and spiders, but ONLY when they are BIG and HAIRY! I HATE the big, hairy ones! 5. Are you into the old skool punk scene?, and if so, who is your favourite old skool punk band? Oh yes indeedy I am! I have a few actually, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, The Cramps, Dead Kennedy's, The Descendents, Minor Threat, The Misfits {WOOT!} The Ramones, The Vandals, The Exploited, And my FAVE out of old shite....Social Distortion! These questions come from my amazing sister Jess so THANKIES SIS!~Hugs~ in the last question posted, you said that everything changed when you hit 13. What was high school like for you? High School was HELL! Oh god, I had a mohawk and I got threatened EVERY day....death threats even.....it was pathetic actually. I wound up dropping out and getting my High school diploma at the local community college, not to mention I was homeless from 18 till almost 19 and a half. It was literally hell, It made me stronger...and I am ALL ABOUT Unity, but the local Punk-Skinheads at my highschool stuck up for me even though I wasnt into their beliefs...it saved my ass more than once. If you could meet one persun, dead or alive, who would it be? Oh geez! Dammnit, I actually have to THINK about this....I have met a few cool people actually, Rancid, The Casualties.....ARGH! Um, I think it would be Mike Ness, lead singer of Social Distortion, I want to say thanks to him since Social D. got me into punk.....or maybe Peter Jackson to say Thanks for having the guts to make LOTR. One of the two! What would you want people to say about you at your funeral? (What do you want most to be remembered for?) For my beliefs, that I never deviated or changed them.....that I stood up for what I believed in. That I made MY OWN mistakes and no one led me around by the nose. That I was brave and I SURVIVED and kept my naievety intact despite seeing hell. Or they could just say "She was a real fuckin punk rock chick" and I would be happy. If you had to live for a year on a desert island with only a complete set of Tolkien's books OR your punk rock music collection, would you be able to choose? GOOD GOD NO! BAD QUESTION!~RUNS AND HIDES~ When and where do you feel happiest and most comfortable? In Craig's arms...he just left a few hours ago and as I type this is on his way back to New Jersey, I am hopelessley lost without him....when he holds me I feel SAFE....and I cannot duplicate that feeling anywhere. Do you want to have children? I am spending the rest of my life with muh punk rock boy...so if we mated it would be the Antichrist......SO NO! Seriously, no I dont... my career choice {War Journalism} makes that somewhat impossible. If you could meet Tolkien, what would you say to him? I would hug him and say "THANK YOU for helping to make me realize who I am...without you I may not be selfless and strong.....your my hero"
