About me

Introduction I'm an elven changeling trapped here in this horribly unmagical world! =) I spend most of my time imagining stories in other worlds and I hope to someday publish fantasy and sci-fi novels. I love designing elaborate costumes with a renaissance style and enjoy sewing them too. I love to enjoy the beauty of nature. Looking at and being surrounded by green things is like food for my soul. I always go barefoot and wear Renaissance garb on a daily basis. I believe firmly in long hair -for everyone. I climb trees, stop and stare enraptured at the stars or the sunlight through the leaves, cannot resist twirling, often skip, dance, and sing as I go on my way... I am a free spirit I am a bookish person, and an artistic creative type. I am expressive yet shy. The old fahioned way is ideal- I’m the type of person who would grow all my own food and cook it from scratch in a cauldron over a fire, and would give up modern plumbing and air-conditioning for the chance to live in a less fast paced, impersonal society where everything is fake, plastic, mass produced -ugh!
