Late Introduction....Oy!
Jun. 4th, 2002 03:39 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
tinhuvielI guess I ought to introduce myself or at least attempt to do so, eh?
First of all, thank you Mmmmmmmmm for getting me hooked up officially to this soul-baring nook on the 'Net. I'm sure I'll thank you and curse you in kind for doing so.
Call me Tinhuviel ~ for that's my Known Craft Name, taken from 'The Silmarillion' by JRR Tolkien. It's the name of one of the most legendary Elves in the history of Middle Earth ~ Luthien Tinuviel. Tinuviel means 'Nightingale' or 'Daughter of Night' and she was so named by her soon to be lover and husband, Beren, when he saw her dancing and singing in the enchanted Elven forests of Doriath. Since I love to sing and I am a daughter of the night, I found this name to be appropriate. The 'h' I added for numerological purposes. Go figure.
Or you can call me Angelina, as most webfolk do. That would be my middle name, don'tcha know.
I'm originally from Asheville, the Land O Sky as t'were, and I try to visit Home as often as possible. Where I am now is not home, it is the Armpit of Hell. I also have a Spirit Home in the British Isles, particularly the mountains of Cymru and Caledonia, and the sacred sites of Wiltshire.
I work 2 jobs, both of which I can't stand. One is for a major music company doing grunt work for little appreciation and even less money than I'm worth for the work I do. That's my full time job. On the weekend I work for an answering service for doctors' offices, locksmiths, heating and air businesses, et al. If you haven't worked at an answering service in the South, you have not yet lived. Anyone who ever had aspirations of being on Springer calls on the weekends. They are lovingly referred to by yours truly as Mush-Mouthed Men and Whiny Women. Sounds like a working title for a Country music song, doesn't it? It SHOULD be.
I'm a Virgo/sun, Sagittarius/moon, Libra/rising. Being Virgo means that everyone expects me to enjoy all this work I do.
No.
All I really want to do is liquidate all I've accrued over the years, buy an old Hippie van, and head off to the coast of Maine. I don't care if I ended up cleaning fish for a living. Just being in the presence of the lighthouses and the rocky coastline ~ to feel the cold sea spray weather my face ~ to adopt an extremely groovy accent...that's what it's all about, man!
I have some past times and obsessions. Past times include conspiracy theories and UFOlogy. Obsessions are Star Wars, particularly Darth Maul, and Shriekback.
Ahhhh, Shriekback....what can I say about the greatest band on the planet? It seems I've already said quite a bit. Just check out the website above, next to my wee scary picture, and open yourself up to the glory that is Shriekback! None can compare, trust me on this.
I work with some fabulous, just fabulous, men on the Shriekback Digital Conspiracy website. Together, we are known as the CABAL IGUANA. My partner, Derk, and I devised the original idea of creating a space for fans of the band. As the concept grew bigger than the both of us put together, other fantastic folk were brought on ~ Jay (a web developer with some breathtaking talents), James (Jay's relentless pal and the engine that runs the Shriekback.com machine), and Stivan (the artiste in the shadows). Of course, without Derk and his mind for business combined with his passion for the band, my own contributions to the site would have been like fish set aground. Together the five of us are known as the Cabal Iguana and, although we sometimes squabble like a pack of school kids (especially James and me), we have become a family!
For over 12 years, I've had a love affair with this band and a love/fear combination admiration for their leader, Barry Andrews. I swear, he scared me so badly, for many unspoken reasons (I couldn't even speak them because I couldn't form the fears into words), that I had to find an outlet for that stark terror and promptly created a vampire character for my ongoing saga (yeah, I write too ~ badly). The character of Cadmus became entwined with the real Barry Andrews, or what I perceived to be the real Barry Andrews, and was fueled by Shriek music and my own sick imagination.
Imagine my utter soul petrification when I wrote the designer of a particular webpage and received a letter back from Barry Andrews! Let me tell you, it took a good 10 years off of my unlife.
But he actually turned out to be a very groovy individual and seemed pretty amused that I found him so terrifying.
I'm part of a closed circle of friends on e-mail. There are 5 of us with the occasional guest. Two of them I know personally, being close friends who live nearby. One is a friend of one of those friends and he is also a General in the Revolution that Will not Be Televised (tm). The other is a mad Hungarian woman whom I met at the Darth Maul Estrogen Brigade. We are truly sisters, no doubt there. The emails consist mainly of rants about work, strange and unusual news stories (mainly about Romania and Japan), various kinks and perversions, and your general Internet mayhem. It's fun and therapeutic.
So anyway, that's me in a nutshell.
Here's a list of important things and people just to sum it all up:
Colour: black
Food: Mexican
Music: anything good, not this boy band/ girl singer rot...DEATH TO TITNEY AND NSUCK!
Bands: Shriekback (but of course), Electric Light Orchestra and Dave Matthews Band ~there are others, but why clutter this up any more?
Dogs: Henry (Geriatric Super Beagle), Daisy (Dumb Blonde Beagle), Chester (the Molester ~ naughty Yorkie with a penchant for upholstery)
Movies: STAR WARS, Event Horizon, any Fellini or Korusawa film, Starship Troopers, Total Recall, Harold & Maude, Bram Stoker's Dracula
Revenge: Sweet...o so sweet
Threat: I'll squeeze your neck 'til your head pops off
Aroma: Egyptian Musk
Cartoon Character: Marvin the Martian
Day: Sunday, now that I have that day off from both of my jobs!
Author: JRR Tolkien
Artist: Salvadore Dali
Actors: Brad Dourif and Tim Roth, Sharon Stone (in Total Recall) and Sigourney Weaver
Hope you folks visit when you can to find out the latest horror stories from my job among other things. Hey, I might even get cheeky and post one of my erotic Maul fics here. :: maestro, please cue sleazy porn muzak::
Ciao for now.

Allow me to introduce you to your first LJ shortcut; when making long posts, you may will to use < lj-cut > without the spaces and it will get you a link to another page for the body of a long post. People frequently put graphics there as well to spare the poor souls with dial-ups out there a huge load time when looking at their friends pages. For a more informative cut, try < lj-cut text="blood, da'ath and destruction" > and you get a tag, too. You do want the space between cut and text, otherwise, lose em! And you know that you can put anything between the quotes, too.
It's good to have you here! Shriek on Sith Sistah~
Thankies~
