Question: What's the story behind your handle?
*~ Mystic ~*: Well, it started out from work, because I
tend to 'float' around the office,
working in many different departments (hence the picture I use in the chat rooms
of myself floating). It also has deeper meanings, relating to my personal
beliefs.
Question: We've met in Hotel Chat. Why do you frequent that chat area, instead
of another?
*~ Mystic ~*: The first time I tried a chat room,
I came to the Hotel, and entered the Gossip.
I was welcomed by all, and I was very happy with the warmth and sincerity shown
by the members there. The 'regulars' there seem to dissapate, so I moved to the
Articulate, where I
found the same response, and I have become a 'regular' there
now. I enjoy the chance to talk to people from all over the world, and have made
quite a few new friends. It is a great atmosphere to meet people, because all of
the usual stereotypes and hesitations are thrown out the window. You are behind
the security of your screen, so I think a lot of peoples inhibitions are also
lost... I makes for quite the conversation sometimes!
Question: What one song seems to be your personal theme? Why?
*~ Mystic ~*: One song? Oh boy, that's a tough one...
I would have to say "In Your Eyes", by Peter Gabriel.
Why?
Well, because I am a hopeless romantic. I am searching for that true, exquisite,
genuine love... the kind that makes your heart race at 100 m.p.h. from the
second you wake up... the kind that makes you smile every time you think about
them... the kind that isnt jealous, petty, vindictive, cruel.. the kind that
will one day come up, grab me by the neck, slap me silly, and say "here I am you
fool!".laughs I want the dream... it may never happen, but it gives me
something to strive for. I want someone to whom I can quote Tom Cruise from the
film "Jerry McGuire"; "You... complete me..." (I even cried when he said
that... I wanted to be him so bad you couldnt believe).
Question: What's your view on cyber relationships, and the hot topic, cyber-sex?
*~ Mystic ~*: a. cyber-relationships: ummm...
could be a good thing, I guess. Although out of
all the people I have seen get together (and thats quite a few), I only know two
couples that are still together, or considering getting together. It's kinda
fun, if you can keep it cyber. But you have to be able to seperate the cyber
from the RT...
b. cyber-sex: Oh sure, it's fun... until somebody
gets an eye put out! laughs hard, then regains his composure
No... seriously, and to be totally honest, it
can be incredible, and it can be akward... just like in real life. But the fun
with cyber-sex is that you can become Rudolph Valentino, no matter what you look
like. It can be quite the aphrodisiac sometimes to be talking to a friend about
his fuel intake valve on his car, all the while your cyber-mate is telling you
what she is doing to you. Kinda like sitting at a table full of friends talking,
while the girl next to you has her hand in your lap, and is acting like nothings
going on, while your sweating bullets... not that that has ever happened to
me... looks out the window, grinning...
Question: What's your favorite food?
*~ Mystic ~*: Manocotti would be tops. A close second
would be a big ol' Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. (nice variety there, huh?)
Question: If you had the chance to go back in time and change the outcome of a single
event, what would it be, what would you do differently to
change it, and what impact would it have on your life?
*~ Mystic ~*: Well... to be blatantly honest... it
would have to be the day I got married. I had a gut instinct 5 minutes after the ceremony that
said "This is wrong... fix it now", but I didnt listen. That was the last time I didnt listen to my
instincts.
Question: What would you rather be doing right now?
*~ Mystic ~*: Visiting with my family would be great...
I havent seen them in a long time, and
I miss being with them. We are all very close, and it is hard to be away from
them for such long periods of time.
Question: What do you think about being interviewed like this?
*~ Mystic ~*: It's pretty fun... I would recommend it to
four out of five dentists... laughing
Question: What was the single most embarrassing moment of your life?
*~ Mystic ~*: Oh, let's see... I've had so many...
I would have to say it was in High School. I was at a Senior party at the lake,
with the majority of my class, and I decided to mix beer, Mad Dog 20/20, Vodka,
and anything else I could get my hands on. About half way into the night, I was
asking everyone at the party to sleep with me, including my best friend Jeff. I
woke up the next morning, face down in the mud (literally), still drunk, and
very, very sick... and alone. (They left me there). The following Monday at
school, my friend Jeff got together with everyone to tell me that I had slept
with everyone at the party, including the football team. So the entire day, I
had everyone from the Captain of the football team to the student librarian
walking up to me and going "Hey... my dog Sally wants to know if she can see you
again", "I didnt know you could go five times", etc, etc.... I spent the next
five or six days being the butt of all the entire Senior classes jokes.
Question: What's it like to be a parent?
*~ Mystic ~*: The most incredible feeling in the world...
to have someone look to you for the
answers of the world... to help with a flat tire on a bike, to help with school
projects, to why the sky is blue, and rabbits have fluffy tails... it is
wonderful. The magic of parenthood is a strange and wonderful thing. You feel
scared for them, love for them, over-protective of them... and nine days out of
ten you beat yourself up for not being a good enough parent. It takes a lot out
of you... but the rewards are beyond verbal description...
Question: How much money do you have in your wallet right now?
*~ Mystic ~*: Um... let me see.... $50.00 and some
loose change. I dont carry a wallet by the
way... they make that funny faded mark on your jeans that never goes away. If I
carry anything, it's usually a money clip.
(smiles, shakes her hand, and floats up out of his interviewee chair, and heads back to Mystic's Lair...)
