It's about time I changed this thing. Again

I don't know what I'm doing with my life, and I just felt like sharing that. But you can bet it will be exciting and cool.

My muses are thus:

Ris: my beloved, graceful and clumsy ironic goddess Psyche. Source of wisdom, energy and hope. We have adventures.

Maja: my little sweet Helen of Troy, sought after by all men, yet still lonely. She's holding out for true love and so should you.

Morgan: the imperial Hera. Dominant, older, vengeful, fiery. But strikingly beautiful and brave. Can drink more than you can.

Griz: Keeps me sane. And do you know just how difficult that is? He's Apollo in the heirarchy of things.

When I'm not being a sap, I'm a cynic. The voice of my work waivers between the two, and exposes a lot more of my philosophy than I'm willing to delve into at the moment. If you intend to read further, enjoy. If not, well.

You can reach me as kamileon821 on Yahoo messenger. If you can read this, you are sitting too close to the computer and you just need to BACK OFF, ok pal? Heh, little joke.
