1) What is the saddest song you love?
"Wake me up when September ends" by GreenDay. I hate that I have this love hate relationship with it. It reminds me of the first boyfriend I was ever truly in love with. We were together when the song came out, and he was going into the Marines as soon as he graduated high school. I was terrified, and I identified soo much with the couple in the video. There was even a slight resemblance between the couple and me and my ex. I cried soooooo hard when I saw that video..... I love the song, but it hurts to hear it, because that relationship ended badly. I am over the relationship, finally. It took me years. But that song reminds me of what never was, and its sad.
2) what is your favourite piece of visual art?
That changes by the day. I need constant visual stimulation. Things like my photos on my walls, my icons, and desktop background change the way my underwear do. (Quite frequently- at least once a day.) I can't name a favorite. But I love things with meaning. When someone puts time, effort, and more so passion into a piece, I love it.
3) Does your identity as a pagan mean you unquestioningly believe in a deity (as a christian perhaps would), or do you just use them as tools for psychological self empowerment, or even do you not think about it that much?
I always believed in one deity or another, even before I became a Pagan. I am pretty non-practicing right now, though I have an agreement with my goddess. I believe that she is with me all the time, in everything I do. I talk to her all of the time.
I think that a world without a deity of some form would be a sadder place than it is now, but I think it depends on the person. To me, there is and always will be my Goddess. To others, perhaps not. (I don't even think that answered the question....)
4) Has tarot ever had a negative impact on your life, or do you believe it can at all?
I have never had the tarot negatively impact my life. Ever. I don't think it could for me- I use it only sparingly, and wisely. I think it could have a negative impact if one didn't know how to use it, or they used it too much, or for the wrong things.
5) Name three things you love about yourself.
This is honestly the most difficult question for me. The only thing that comes to mind off of the top of my head is that I sew. Its the only thing I am good at. I know that there are other people out there who are better than I am but I try not to let that stop me. I keep going, and I improve in leaps and bounds. I can see a garment, take it apart in my head and recreate it on my own, even if I haven't interacted with the actual item.
The second thing I guess is that I am smart. I so rarely need to study its stupid. All of my friends are jealous- I can sit there and sew and watch anime while they are spending hours working.
Hmmmm.....I guess that would be my honesty. I do my damndest never to lie to anyone. I would rather tell someone a truth that may hurt them for a small while in the shortrun then tell them what they want to hear, and watch them destroy themselves in the longrun.
I hope my answers aren't too long...
