My StoryFor now I will focus on the story behind my ink. On my left breast (over my heart) is the Caduseus symbol, otherwise known as the medical symbol. I received that tattoo in August 2006 as a going away/congratulations gift from my artist when I received my doctorate degree. On my back at top & bottom I have Celtic symbols as a representation to my heritage and pagan beliefs. In addition, all four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) are represented, also representing my beliefs. I have my zodiac symbol (Gemini) at the small of my back flanked by two celtic knots. I have always had an interest in mythology therefore I have a gargoyle on each shoulder & they are sitting on rock cliffs that extend down the sides of my back to end in more rocks & cresting waves near the base of my back, right above my flames. Then I have two celtic dragons intertwined in the middle of my back with tails extending down my spine. An intense multi-color sunset serves as background to everything. Gargoyles & dragons are both representative of protection/guardians. The dragons are another zodiac reference as well. It is difficult to see in the picture, but the flames begin at the base of my spine and extend around both hips to end at the front of my pelvis.

Some of My Favorite Books areWhere do I start? I am an avid reader & have many books that I think are great. Unfortunately I read so much that I have forgotten many of the books that I have enjoyed. Almost anything by Anne Rice or Stephen King is usually great. I'll get back to you when I can recall actual titles or other authors I have enjoyed.

I like listening toAlmost anything. What I am listening to on any given day typically depends on my mood and/or what I am doing. I enjoy classic rock, hard rock, metal, blues, jazz. some country, oldies, etc. The things I tend to not listen to are rap/hip-hop/R&B, classical (although I make some exceptions), and modern pop.
