NEW LJ PROFILE
Welcome to my Profile aka The Sad Catters Tea Party. BTW, what is the difference between a Raven & a Writing Desk anyway?

INTERESTS
I might write an LJ stylii list of interests at some point, but until then below is a bit of Mooncat Likes… type-info (which I - with abject & unapologetic laziness - have cut & pasted from my VF profile, and made a few nominal tweeks to :

LIKES
Art, Photography & Photoshop CS - if you're interested, there's a small selection of my work in the journals of this profile, some recent work on my VF profile, & a more extensive / hi res / retro Gallery on my deviantart site.

Music: composition, recording & - if i really have to - performing. If you would like to hear some examples, visit the VF band profile of ETHEREALISED. Our sound has been described as…"the Wistful Laments of Half-Phantoms lost in the shadow haunted Nightmare of a Transylvanian Castle on the Moon." Or "the Dreamsongs of Silvereyed Sylphs wandering thru the Iridescent Splendour of the Enchanted Gardens of Ethelderine." Or "a bit weird". Or something.

Favorite Music:
I'm not gonna bore you with one of those interminable band lists. I've got rather wide tastes in music, but listen mostly to... ETHEREAL, DARKWAVE, INDIE, METAL, TRIPHOP, LOUNGE, BAROQUE, CLASSICAL(except Opera!), RENNAISCANCE, WORLD or JAZZ.

DISLIKES:
Narrow-minded, ill-informed, judgmental, absolutist, elitist or conformist people.

Bigotry & Prejudice: eg. racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

Mainstream Consumer Culture, Junk Food, Cars, Celeb Culture, so-called-Reality-TV, baseball caps (esp worn backwards) all that kinda crap - y'know...

Being a ghost in my own lifetime.*weary sigh*

Gore : Tim Burton & Hammer House of Horror spookiness is fine, but as for all that Blood & Guts stuff & people who think that they're oh-soooo-weird 'cos they're 'obsessed' with serial killers *yawn* ...well it's just not my thang darlinks. It's Violence Porn, it's sick & it's actually rather Mainstream. A Dreadfully Unfashionable view I know, but I don't care. I'm a Romantic, and if you can't get with that I'll rip yer feckin' head off! *mwhahahaha*

Myself, obviously * Wanders off across windswept moors in Melodramatic Emo stylii clutching notebook full of half finished scibblings: Deep-Dark-&-Meaningful poetry, musings on the Nature of Existence, shopping lists* - um, forget that last bit *ahem*...


OTHER STUFF ABOUT MOONCATS...
If I already know you in the 'Real' or 'Virtual' sense… Hi darlink! *doffs hat with a flourish*. If I don't know you… Greetings *tips hat* - but before we proceed any further perhaps there's a few things I should perhaps point out. *peers sternly over top of spectacles and extends claws a bit* ;-)

Firstly, I'm not a myspace stylii Addoholic. Secondly, I'm not much interested in banal MSN stylii chit-chat. However, if your an Open-Minded, Perceptive, Intelligent & Articulate person whose looking for a Meeting of Minds across the Digital Ether, I probably would be interested to hear from you. Particularly if you have a Creative Imagination, as I have a particular interest in such things. Thirdly, although I've got four Net Profiles (LJ, DA, VF & UKArtForum), I don't have the time or inclination to be active on them all simultaneously, so currently I only visit LJ occassionly. I'm probably most likely to be found on DA. Fourthly, if you've fallen down a rabbit hole and are wondering WTF is going on, it's no use asking me which way to go, I haven't a clue... but I might brew a pot of tea... if I can get that fucking dormouse out of the teapot I might anyway. *snicker*


Right, that'll have to do for now... Toodlepip! *Morphs into a Clockwork Moth & flutters orf*
