I've always been fascinated with the concept of
Angels. I don't think of myself as a particularly religious person,
at least not in the conventional sense of the word, and what little
religion I adhere to does not include Angels in any way. I just love
the idea of having wings, having the ability to soar in the sky,
play hide-and-seek in the clouds. Part of my Angel fetish once lead
me to study them as they appear in various writings and art. During
the course of this study I found a book that documents a lot of
facts about Angels, including the names of many angels that appear
in the Bible. Aniquiel is the name of the Angel (well, I think
Aniquiel has since become a demon courtesy of the Catholic church)
that was the serpent in the garden of Eden. In my eyes when Aniquiel
offered the Apple to Eve, the intent was not to curse or test her,
but to offer her a choice, the first choice, the choice to choose
her own destiny. To me, Aniquiel represents the ability to choose,
and although I really do not believe in Eve, I can't help but
imagine a little ticker-tape parade in my heart for her, just for
giving me the ability to make my own choices. Yay Eve. If you want
to know more about my religious beliefs, I have provided a separate
link. I hate it when I am force fed religion without the opportunity
to choose.
I thought Aniquiel was a good handle to use online because I can choose
who I want to be here. After all, that is the beauty of the internet: You
get to write everything out, review it all, change words, and basically
avoid putting your foot in your mouth before you actually post the info. In
life I cannot look this cool all the time. I have to fit a certain image for
work, and I often resent the fact that I do not have a choice. Well, I could
quit, I guess, but I like my job. It's fun, keeps me in great shape, and
allows me to travel all over for free. For more on that, check out the link
titled Blimp.
Since people keep asking, here is a little about me. I was born in 1977
in France (yes, I speak French), raised in Durango, and spent the last 10
years in Denver. In August 2005 I joined the Sanyo Blimp crew, and I now
live on the road out of two suitcases and a hotel. I have a ton of hobbies:
I am an artist, I draw, paint, write, photograph, sculpt, weld, build,
dance, sew, embroider (yes, go on, laugh!), cook, and clean. I play recorder
and drums, I can sing in 4 octaves. I can design theatrical sets complete
with lighting, manage concert/club sound and light. I used to act, now I
just act immature. Lol! No, I'm
not looking for a husband just yet, save yourself the embarrassment of asking. I love
all things computer, but don't have the right kind of brain for writing
code, hence FrontPage for all you Geeks that like to look at a page source,
and are currently thinking that I'm not worthy. I am a Jack-of-many-trades,
my resume boasts photographer, construction worker, demolitions, clerk, cook, cashier,
exotic dancer, DJ, door-to-door sales, tech assistance, Sega, Playstaion, house painting, electrician (not
licensed) delivery girl, collections, licensed massage therapist, anatomy teacher, lead
therapist at a day spa, and flight ops ground crew. I intent to add 'pilot'
to that someday. Or possibly 'government assassin'...we'll see.
I have been called outspoken, extroverted, fiery, driven, goal-oriented,
irreverent and abrasive, which I took as a compliment. I've been called a
Bitch, too, which I choose to interpret as Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented,
Compassionate, Hilarious. But you can just say Bitch.
I wish the world was open minded enough to see past appearances. I enjoy
looking like the picture here, and I am also a dedicated hard worker...Too
bad people always get hung up on the hair and makeup. I'd love to start a
company that was visually biased in the other direction. I wish that our
next President would be elected despite the skirt, tattoos, piercings, and
the blue Mohawk. I also wish for time machines and personal hover crafts
that run on banana peels, but that's a tangent. When I was little I wanted
to be a Vet. When I grew up I worked in a human cadaver lab. I now prefer
cutting up dead people over live animals.
I am in love with the Ocean. I want to live near the beach, and be the
first Goth to intentionally cultivate a natural tan. I love seashells and
colorful sea animals that look like blobs and have spikes all over. I have
snorkeled in Hawaii, jumped in the Atlantic, body surfed the gulf of Mexico,
and surfed the Pacific (well, I can't get both feet on the board at once
yet, but I'm working on it). I've picked up sea urchins and crabs with bare
hands, barked at seals, seen blue whales, and own a pelican skull. I found
it, did not kill it.
I am blessed with an abundance of loyal friends, many of whom have been
friends since grade school or before. I met my best friend in preschool. I
have friends that I met online 5 years ago, have never seen, and am still
friends with.
I have played with the Society for Creative Anachronism since 1992. After
earning my Award of Arms for costuming, I decided that earning titles in
exchange for hard work means that people expect you to work hard all the
time. So I stopped at an AOA. Not that I don't like to help out at events,
but I play the game because it is a game, if I wanted to work an extra
weekend I would not take the time off of my paying job. I love to learn of
all things medieval, so if you are inclined to write mean things about SCA,
you can strait fuck off. (by the way, the origin of the word 'fuck' is
medieval, it means Fornicating Under Consent of the King, which means you
paid your wedding taxes.) I can embroider, cure leather, braid, sew by hand
or on the machine, sing, belly dance (a little), make armor the old
fashioned way: with a hammer and anvil, play drums, recorder, and a little
didgeridoo. I occasionally remember the proper etiquette for royal court.
More on this in the SCA link.
