"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q Star Trek: TNG
“Speaking of livers,” the unicorn said, “Real magic can never be made by offering up someone else’s liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back. The true witches know that.”
—Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
I am a natural redhead, a Pagan Witch, a feminist, a writer, a reader, a music lover, queer, a big sister, and a nerd. I have been a student at Mount Holyoke College and a librarian, among other things. I have a variety of tastes in all aspects of life, and I am as open and honest as I can be. For example, I wish I could play the cello, and I can't cook much of anything ;). If Star Trek: TNG frightens you, well, maybe I can change your mind. I write about my daily life, but I'm also prone to really deep thoughts. I have to deal with chronic health problems, yet the pain has made me a stronger and better person. The good stuff is usually behind the mask, so please feel free to poke around and introduce yourself.
“I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I'm a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes.”
-Tori Amos
