|
quiara profile - diary |

|
greentequila profile - diary |

|
spirrogg profile - diary |

|
guildenstern profile - diary |

|
ghanima profile - diary |
| comments: "Blueberries and honey, purple and gold in a crystal bowl, and the glint of an emerald ring flashing on the finger that grasps at the violet fruit. A man looks at me sidelong and promises to shower me in jade. The day goes by." |
|
soapdemon profile - diary |
| comments: "Now I have an appointment with him tomorrow, which I may have to miss on account of being a freshly-cooled corpse. Life: it's a funny old thing." |
|
autumnal profile - diary |
| comments: "An indescribable heat, a knock around, crawl on all fours, cataclysmic union. Something to shake you, bat you around, bring you to places you can never return from." |
|
bagatelas profile - diary |
| comments: "The title means 'trivia' in Spanish. Trivia is the Roman goddess of crossroads (tri meaning three, via meaning road). I like puns. This is not a trivial voyage, except in the sense that it involves a crossroads in my life." |
|
starberrysky profile - diary |
| comments: "Note to all out there: just because you own a neon shamrock does not make you Irish." |

|
mangofarmer profile - diary |
| comments: "My motto for this point in my life is "whatever". I think I'll just leave it like that." |
My favorite music: |
|
Loreena McKennitt |
| comments: Very, very pretty instrumentals. |
|
Solas |
| comments: Makes me happy, trite as that sounds. |
|
Tori Amos |
| comments: Pleasingly idiosyncratic, and she hasn't even been mellowed by motherhood. |
|
Paul Haslem |
| comments: He plays the hammered dulcimer. I'm fond of him. |
|
Various musicals |
| comments: Diverse and delightful. |
My favorite movies: |
|
Dancer in the Dark |
| comments: Dark and bizarre, ergo I like it. |
|
Amadeus |
| comments: Lovely costumes and an even lovelier soundtrack. |
|
Girl, Interrupted |
| comments: One of maybe three films I like better than the books they're based on. This is Significant. |
|
Moulin Rouge |
| comments: Because absolutely no one else likes this movie. |
|
The Princess Bride |
| comments: Or this one. |
My favorite authors: |
|
Victor Hugo |
| comments: It takes talent to write fifty pages on Parisian sewers without looking ridiculous, and even more to garner a gaggle of francophiles who actually read it and don't care how ridiculous they look. |
|
Neil Gaiman |
| comments: He opens doors. Get it? Doors? Ah, never mind. |
|
Torey Hayden |
| comments: Better and more disturbing than any blurry child-raising pamphlet. |
|
Fyodor Dostoevsky |
| comments: Dead Russians are almost as fun as fictional Frenchies. |
|
Alexandre Dumas |
| comments: Such as the ones found here. |
