So we all know that I'm an enthusiastic fan of Jean Michel Jarre. But who is this person with the audacity to start a new fan association in the United States? Well, let me enlighten you with the help of a few online profiles.
What is your favorite planet?
It used to be Pluto, and then the smart asses at whatever cosmological think tank decided to make it a not-planet. Mercury’s too hot, Venus is full of herself, Saturn is all about the bling, Jupiter's too much, and Uranus and Neptune are a whole lot of the same thing. I choose Mars.
If you could live anywhere other than earth where would you live?
I’d like a planet with advanced multiverse technology and at least three moons. My summer home on the astral plane is very nice too.
Do you collect anything?
Dust. Seriously...Happy Bunny stickers, original Dead Kennedys stuff, lucky cats, and followers.
Whats your favorite alcoholic drink?
Since I don’t drink alcohol and haven’t had alcohol in a decade, I no longer remember what my favorite drink was. I suspect it would be absinthe.
How about non alcoholic?
Coffee in all of its permutations and derivations, green tea, water (I have the best tap water in North America), black cherry wichniak...heck, pretty much anything that’s not an energy drink.
Piercings/tats, yes or no?
Nope. I don’t need any more holes. I change my mind too often to commit to a tat.
Whats the best gift someone could give you?
Acceptance. But I'm always keen on tech gadgets.
What band do you never tire of?
Dead Kennedys and Jean Michel Jarre (what a combination)
Who's your favorite author?
Choosing just one based on the ratio of titles I’ve loved to entire body of work, Carlos Castaneda.
Who's your favorite artist?
I discovered Gustav Adolf Mossa on a trip to the French Riviera, and he’s been my favorite ever since.
Do you read your horoscope?
Not on purpose.
Who's the most beautiful person in your life?
My sister, who is not only breathtaking in her own manner and her own style but is the very definition of a beautiful soul as well.
Name someone who's changed your life for the better?
My dog Max (he makes me a better person)
Name someone who's changed your life for the worse?
All personal experiences make me who I am, so there's no such thing as a detrimental person.
If someone gave you a telescope what would you use it for?
I'd use it for a long night of exploring the celestial with good friends.
If you could only wear one color, what would that be?
Black would be practical, but I think I'd go with red.
Makeup on guys, yes or no?
Well, Eric Draven from The Crow is still very hot, so I'm all for it.
If you could have a superpower what would that be?
I hate this question. How about the ability to change universes?
What one word describes you best?
Attuned
What is your favorite song at the moment?
Riverhead by Prick
Name your addictions:
Technically? None.
Name your passions:
Communicating through the written word, communicating through imagery, all things related to dogs and dog adoption and rehabilitation, being a positive role model for young women.

| REAL NAME: What is real? What is illusion? Who cares? BIRTHDATE: November 8, 1971 (and yes...trust me...there IS life after 30...) SIGN OF THE ZODIAC: Which Zodiac? SEX: Sure. Why not? I have a few minutes. GENDER: I read Ms. Magazine and watch Spike TV. LIFE THEME IN A WORD: "Apocalypse" SYMBOL: I use the Egyptian ankh to represent life force and living energy and as a mirror for self-reflection, but mostly to symbolize eternity. STONES: Amethyst, amber, jade, citrine, moonstone TOTEM ANIMALS: Dogs/wolves (physical) and rattlesnakes (metaphysical) PATH: Second Discordian Reformed Church of Latter Day Gnostic Druids Twice Removed FRAGRANCE: Lavender ODD JOBS: Media maven, advocate and activist, court jester, thanatologist, web visionary, brain-to-pick at large, spirit dabbler CAUSES CELEBRES: I'm giving what I can working for mental health awareness, elder health awareness, the American Diabetes Association (both of my parents are diabetics), the American Heart Association, breast cancer awareness, AIDS awareness, and incorporating all of these, the cause of health care. Oh, right...toss education and social reform in there, too, with a big dose of feminism. HOBBIES: The odd and the strange, punk, punk rock, punk life, things gothic, taphophilia, snakes, classical historical religious reconstruction, reading, cryptozoology, movies, snowboarding (when possible), gardening (same deal), lurking in shadowed places, the occult (more a passion than a hobby) and various arts and crafts related to occult practice PRIZED POSSESSION: The Buddha was right on this one. Attachment leads to suffering. We're not unhappy because we don't have fancy cars or cell phones or live-in concubines--we're unhappy because we want these things. So I reply, "Prized possession? If I can possess it, it should not be prized. If I prize it, it cannot be possessed." On the other hand, I could be full of shit. FAVORITE SPORTS/PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES: Snowboarding, dancing, skateboarding, hockey, soccer, basketball, and archaic weapons techniques FAVORITE FOODS: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Middle Eastern, buffalo wings, tea, apples, oatmeal, and wasabi peas FAVORITE COLOR: Purple FAVORITE ARTIST: Gustav Mossa, Boris Viejo, James O'Barr, Charles Addams, Eric Bakke, Coop, any Dutch artists DIRTY LITTLE SECRET: Ixnay. If I told you, it wouldn't be my dirty little secret anymore, would it? WORDS TO LIVE BY: "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger. Or it may land me in court. It's all good." |
