About Me
Hi. I am a stay-at-home housewife (not through choice but through illness) who can't wait to get back to work! Ideally, I would like to make money from home in some way but just can't find the way that works for me yet. I have been with my fiancé John since I was 18 and lived with him since our engagement when I was 20. We have no plans to get married as he has already been down that path (he is 8 years older than me) and I was never interested as we are happy how we are. We live in a little sea-side town on the Essex coast. I was born in England but brought up in Canada (mainly the Toronto area) and moved back here when I was 12. I still miss what I consider home and will one day go back to live there as John loved it when we went out for my 21st birthday for a whole month. I enjoy all things to do with Nature, Crafting (Beading is a favorite), Reading and making new friends on MySpace/CovenSpace! I don't really know what else to say. If you are interested in my page or my interests thus far, drop me a line. I may add more in the future if I can think of anything interesting to report!
Music
Incredibly varied; anything from classical to hard rock. I don't particularly like rap, hip-hop or new soul.
  
Movies
Again anything and everything. Bladerunner is a favorite.
TV
I'm seriously into Dexter at the moment.
Books
I am a Book Addict! Most of all I love Terry Pratchett but tend to have a very varied taste from reference to Historical Romance to 'Bodice-Rippers' to Horror. I also have a very large collection of Witchcraft and Mystical books. My other-half jokes that we are the second library in our town! I have got over 5000 books but most are in storage in our loft until he builds my library in our dining room.
Likes
We have 3 Cats, 2 Dogs, A Pove (Pigeon Cross Dove) and a Terrapin called Chadwick. Boz was a shared kitten between our lodger and us who we rescued from the top of our street and when she moved out she couldn't take him; Squeek was found in the University of Essex carpark where my mother works and so we adopted her and Frazzel was found under a portakabin at John's work, he was worried she would be run over by a truck and brought her home. Boz is my baby and the girls prefer John. We only have 2 dogs now; Emo who is my dog bought for me by John when we first moved in together who is now 17 and he is the Dad. Zeus is his son who is 16 and John's dog. We also had Scruffy who was John's dog before I moved in and she was the Mum, Indi was was the daughter and also John's dog and Mysty who we sold to friends for their disabled daughter was the 2nd daughter. I also have Piglet, who was hand raised from an egg, we unfortunately lost the rest of the clutch. He is completely tame and lives in our front room as he doesn't like the rest of the house! He only goes in his large parrot cage at night as I don't trust the cats to not figure out how to open the front room door! Chadwick the terrapin was also a rescue from someone who had got bored of him and was going to flush him! He was the size of a 50p piece when we got him and he is now 10 inches long. We seem to be the local rescue centre but usually find homes elsewhere as we don't have the room and it isn't fair on those we already have.
I love watching NASCAR racing; Busch & Nextel series. Unfortunately, living in England means watching it at 3:00am! It is absolutely worth it though.
My favorite holiday is Hallowe'en. I grew up in Canada, so spent my childhood years treat or treating and my father was also into it in a big way. He ran nightclubs and had theme nights for the whole week around the end of October. He also died on the 31st of October and the family thought at the time that he would have got a kick out of that in a strange way. Even now, over 20 years later, amid my usual Hallowe'en madness, I light a candle for him and have a little quiet moment....then remember that he would rather have been in the next room where the party was!
I love Rain above every other type of Weather; closely followed by Snow. Best of all is crashing thunderstorms, gale force winds, driving rain and a walk along the sea-front. Bliss.
Dislikes
Intolerance and Infidelity.
Hobbies
I have been practising Witchcraft for over 20 years and still have lots to learn! The Craft is a life-long passion. I read Tarot Cards but still use crib cards as I want to still be able to read for myself. I also use a Crystal Ball, Pendulum and Scrying Mirror. I am lucky enough to have a spare room that I am allowed to dedicate to my altar and all my Paraphernalia. I love candles and have a large selection to choose from. I am fascinated by anything to do with Egypt and use this in my work. I have completed a handwritten Book of Shadows and I am now transferring it to computer. Well, that's it for now but may add more in the future.
Vices
Smoking.
Virtues
Loyal to a fault.
