I am an intelligent, independent, self-righteous, self-centered woman with high expectations of other people. I tend to have a warped and sarcastic sense of humor that is not appreciated by everyone.
I don't worry about others seeing who I am, I worry if they are who I am seeing.

"The only thing I have to fear is me, myself." -RKE

"I tell you not to judge a book by its cover, but won't let you read any of the pages." -RKE

"There, in a gloomy hollow glen, she found
A little cottage built of sticks and weeds,
In homely wise, and walled with sods around,
In which a witch did dwell in loathly weeds
And willfull want, all careless of her needs;
So choosing solitary to abide,
Far from all neighbors, that her devilish deeds
And hellish arts from people she might hide,
And hurt, far off, unknown, whomever she envied."

--Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, (1590)




Excerpts from Out of the Ashes by C.K. McKay:

"They have walked through the fires of hell and returned, reforged and of a new mettle -- harder, colder. Yet the flames still burn in their souls and you can see it smoulder in their eyes. It is that which frightens you."

"They say that when the body dies, the soul lives on. Though sometimes it is the spirit that dies and the body that keeps on living."
