Who is Sanguinarius, anyway?

I'm feeling generous, so I thought that I would share this picture with you (yes, it's supposed to be that way)... *innocent look* I am not the person you are thinking of.  :-P  But so what if I am... :-P

Common Info Here is some commonly known info about me:  I'm female.  I was born in 1970. I currently live in Topeka, Kansas, USA. I'm a sanguinarian, or "blood feeder". I have two adorable little, black cats (Bat & Boo) and 2 adorable little, grey kitties (Munchkin & Scooter) -- I need to get pictures of them up sometime.   I like Gothic, spooky, morbid things like hearses, graveyards; anything black ("Black is Beautiful!"); black cats (figurines, statuettes, too), Gothic music, science fiction and horror. Oh, and I'm a coffee lover. I'm divorced, no kids. I may flirt, but I do not cyber.  Bother me about that and you will end up very, very sexually frustrated, and without various cyber-parts...  I am happily single. I have a remarkably open mind, and some little shreds of insight here and there.  If I think that someone is doing something that's evil, I don't bop them over the head with a cruxifix and scream bloody Jesuses at them, so relax.  I get along fine with Satanists, pagans, Wiccans, atheists, etc.  Everyone has a right to believe what they want to. I'm the Head for the Kansas Branch of ShadowLore, which is a network and group for vampires, donors, otherkin, fae, elves, dragons, therianthropes (were-creatures), and witches, as well as those who are interested, to meet and get to know one another. It is divided up into local/state branches to make it easier to meet and get to know others of like mind and interest in your area. Our Yahoo! Group is here and the main ShadowLore Group is here.

She Who Dares Question

I have seen and been shown some things which cause me to wonder, things that a thinking person can't reconcile, and to tell me that I must have faith and accept the things is an imbecilic cop-out for someone who does not think. I have faith -- in God, Whomever He is -- but not necessarily in the one claiming to be God.

If I am to be damned for thinking for myself and using my own mind (a mind which God gave me, I might mention), in order to discern things for myself, learn, seek knowledge and discover the truth of things, or at least seek after it, --

If I am to be damned for not sitting quietly, but questioning that which is, or appears to be, if I am to be damned for not blindly accepting everything I am told as a matter of faith, for merely questioning the word of some higher being, --

If I am to be damned for that, THEN BY GOD, LET ME BE DAMNED!!! *Sangi roars*

And gladly, for if those are damnable offenses, then whatever fate damnation is, it's alternative would be spending the rest of eternity as the mindless, fawning lackey of a petty, insecure, fascist tyrant, -- something I want no part of -- IF that is God..

Some Interests

Archaeology / Ancient History. I find this stuff fascinating. I love learning about ancient civilizations and archaeological finds. Give me books, documentaries, articles on it -- I eat them up. My folks have subscriptions to several archaeological magazines and when I visit them, one of the first things I do is ferret out the latest issues to read.

George Orwell, 1984. I recently re-read the book. It's scary to see how much we've progressed toward the world ol' George set forth in his book... I would not survive well in an Orwellian world. I probably should not say that, as someone is bound to remember it when the fascists take over. Oh, goody! it's Room 101 for Me!

The Paranormal / Fortean Stuff. Ghosts, hauntings, the unexplained, ancient mysteries, aliens, The X-Files, Sightings, The Chronicle (unfortunately, the Sci-Fi Channel canceled The Chronicle so they could show more FartScrape...er, I mean FarScape *scowl*), parazoology (such creatures as the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, Sasquatch/Yeti/Bigfoot), ancient astronauts, the pyramids, magick, the list goes on. I want to learn more about Sitchin and what he has to say. I like listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell & George Noory.

Documentaries. NOT (most) nature or war documentaries; there is more to history than war. But give me a show about ancient Egypt, and I'm in hog-heaven. Learning about how people lived during the time of the Roman Empire, or an archaeological discovery, exploring the wreck of the Titanic or a Spanish Galleon, mummies, Conquistadores, the Aztec Empire, human behavior & evolution, daily life in the Middle Ages, the development of technology and inventions, Pompeii, the building of the Channel Tunnel (the Chunnel) or other great technological feats, dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts, space, black holes and quasars, and the list goes on here, too.

Titanic. Sunk on her maiden voyage while bound for NY in 1912, she was at the time the largest ship afloat. Luxuriously appointed and passengered by many famous, weathy and powerful personages, as well as the poorest immigrants, and others from all walks of life in between, she was a noble and grand maiden whose existence was cut short far before her time should have been. Both those who perished and those who survived have provided a wealth of stories and experiences that have been recorded, heard, and passed on to others. It was tragic that so many lives were lost, but it resulted in stricter maritime laws concerning the safety of all passengers. For some eighty years, she lay, lost but not forgotten, on the sea floor, beneath nearly two miles of ocean, until Robert Ballard, leading an expedition out of Woods Hole in 1985, determined to find her. And did. Since then, many artifacts have been salvaged from Titanic, giving rise to much controversy about violating the sanctity of the gravesite for commercial purposes. For it is a gravesite. I have mixed feelings about this, myself. On the one hand, what they are doing is robbing a tomb. On the other hand, many people get to see with their own eyes, sense, and BE NEAR, objects from on board; things which no human has laid eyes on in over eighty, sometimes ninety, years; pieces of history, pieces of a great tragedy. To be so near, to see with my own eyes, to feel, these things, -- or even a piece of the great ship herself!, -- this has great meaning to me.

Science Fiction. Until I was maybe around 27 or 28, if you'd asked me, I would not have told you that I was interested in science fiction. But after taking a good look at the sort of movies, programs, and sometimes books, that I tended to thoroughly enjoy, I realized, -- there's no denying it, -- I like science fiction. Whether it's old Twilight Zone episodes, The X-Files, Star Wars, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, Outbreak, The Matrix, Species, War of the Worlds (the radio broadcast), Stargate, the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, countless short stories I read as a child, Spaceballs, or Independence Day, I love it! -- I can't get enough! The future technology, the designs of the spacecraft, entire alien and/or future worlds, the sound effects, the alien/human relations (whether at war or at peace), clothing fashions, interior design & decor, and architecture, are all quite fascinating!
