The Muse - 
Up Close, And Personal 

Hello everyone. :) 

Well, this is the all-about me section of my site. This is where I dish about who I am, what I do (and do not do) and other not so interesting factoids about myself. 

Most of this journal can be found much more informally on my blogs (which you can access from my homepage). There's probably more complete information there too. But this page is a concentrated dose, so if what you're seeking is a massive overdose of geekdom and girlishness, you have come to the right place. 

(Why all the images of Aria? I like the character. She kinda sorta looks like me (with a much better body, heh), and her character reminds me of me in a quirky, artsy, shop-owner kind of way. So yah, Killdare of the Fairy has become my avatar. :) I could definately do worse....*winks*)

~+~ ENOUGH BORING STATISTICS ~+~

Now I'm going to ramble on about me. And if you want to know, you have to read this. ALL Of this. Hahahahahah! ... err. Umm. Yeah.

My name is Rebecca. I'm a young, twenty-something girl who lives on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States of America in an artsy city just south of The New York - Washington Beltway. I'm ... a Muse. It's probably my most defining trait ... I tell stories. I write like it's part of my identity, and in a lot of ways it really can be a part of my identity. I couldn't NOT write, that's how much it means to me. Writing is a part of my core, telling stories is who I am.

But what I write stories about is what makes up the rest of me. See, I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm in love with life and love and beauty and truth ... I'm a bleeding heart, a dedicated friend, and a true love. I am ... Rebecca.

I have a great and grand passion for life. Passion defines me. It defines what I do, everything I do that is not NESSECARY is fueled by passion, the thirst to LIVE and DO no matter the consequences. And I've had plenty of Consequences. My favorite movie - aside from the fantasy and romances I'm so fond of - is Dead Poet's Society, a movie about passssion and living and sucking the marrow out of life. "Carpe Diem." Seize the day. Never look back. Live like there is no tomorrow.

It's who I am. My thrist for life and my passion to live is WHO I AM. I want to run with the wind, dance in the rain, toss my hair back and revel in the lighting - I want to Laugh at the mighty thunder. I want to feel my skin alive and my hair standing on end, I want to feel the goosebumps travel up and down my arms, I want to shiver and shake and feel feather-fingers running down my spine. I want to live so deeply that it just ... possesses me. I want to be one of those fun middle-aged women who still act in their late 20s or 30s and see no reason to slow down.

And romance is a part of that. I want love that is so deep and powerful and moving that it shakes the very foundation of who I am. Love that is so mighty and resplendant and seductive that it consumes me, that I can really be one of those people who can look someone in the eye and say 'You complete me." I need to be completed. Someone has to have the key.

And again, romance returns to passion. I want to be touched by hands who make me shiver. I want someone who can warm me with a look. I want so much ... and I will have it. :)

I want to be a simple, happy woman with a comfortable life and a very normal house.

... and one helluva life inside. :)
