Lover of Beauty. Seeker of Truth.
Devotee of Oscar Wilde. Aesthete.


languid decadent aesthete, materialist/agnostic/pagan, misanthrope/humanist, curious/indifferent, enthusiastic/exhausted



I'm a writer. I would spend practically all my time writing if I could. But -and I admit this with regret- I am not actually a princess, and money makes the world go round. So first a day job, next a day career. It would be grand if at some point I started making enough money from writing to be able to abandon the day career. I hope that'll happen but I suppose only the gods know if it will.

I'm not ambitious. If when I woke up each day there were gold and silver pieces under my pillow I honestly don't know if I would try to get my work published. "Art for art's sake."


I adore Oscar Wilde. He's the most beautiful person I've ever known.
I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about why he's wonderful but I'd rather not. If you've read his work then maybe you understand. If you haven't -go to the nearest library immediately and look for The Picture of Dorian Gray.


I'm a Hex-enthusiast. If star trek fans are trekkies then I'm a Hexie. If I was granted 3 wishes by a genie or a fairy or something one of them would be to get Hex back on the air. It's genius, and the fact that it was cancelled is yet one more sign of the decline of civilization.


I'm a Goth . I love the style, the music, the literature, the darkness, the romanticism.


I'm an odd combination of social and asocial. I like LJ communities & my friends page, I enjoy going out to a club or going to a coffee house and chatting but....I also spend a lot of time alone and am usually quite content to be on my own. I love my friends but...I've been realizing lately that there are certain things I don't want to share with people. There are certain topics that I don't want to discuss with people. Especially if it's something that means a lot to me. I can't imagine discussing Oscar Wilde with anyone for example. But I guess it depends. On the situation, on the other person/people, on what kind of a mood I'm in.
Still, generally I'm reserved. To quote Thelma Bates: "What I've got is mine. Nothing to spare."


And because closets are stuffy : I have bipolar disorder. also called manic depression. I was diagnosed ages ago, I've been living with it for a long time. It has been an affliction but surviving it has turned me into a strong person.
It's a part of my life but it's not who I am.

I'm bi-romantic/asexual. ...Sometimes I think I"m aromantic as well but I haven't figured that out yet.
