Shapes and colors make me happy.
I like abstract paintings. I like Picasso. I like solid colors - blue, red, yellow, green and orange. Sometimes I like neon. I like geometric lines and shapes. I'm particularly fascinated with squares. Not so much with waves and unclosed curves. I don't like Baroque-inspired designs. I don't like paintings of the Madonna and Child, farmers in the field, flowers in vases, and fruits in baskets. They hurt my eyes.

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death."
~Robert Fulghum, It Was On Fire When I Laid Down On It

You Belong to Me
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me
Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

What's Up
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Fire. You start small and bright and can easily survive with little outside influence, making you very independent.
Personality: Because you're so capable of independence, you have a lot of confidence and a well-established personality, making you unlikely to change. However this means you often come on a little strong. People sometimes get burned and this leaves you greatly misunderstood. You're very honest, making you a little harsh, but you're also a little naive because you want others to be honest too. You have layers, though, which means you have secrets. But you would never withhold information concerning the people around you. Your ability to be self-sufficient also makes you very cautious in building relationships. If youve a solid connection your friends will experience your strongest traits. Theyll get your honesty, but more importantly theyll get your unwavering loyalty.
Temper: Contrary to what you might think, your temper isn't that volatile. While you can easily bring destruction to the things around you, it's rare that you'll actually strike. You might be easily irritated, but you know that if you only send off sparks, it will keep you from ever losing control of a very powerful temper. If people push you, they're not going to get mcuh of a reaction, and they should be grateful for that.
The Other Elements: Water: Your elemental opposite. Because what you first see isn't always the truth, you might have issues when you feel like Water is playing games. A relationship with Water should be entered cautiously as you can easily destroy each other. But because you are opposites, if you can get past the initial friction, you will find that your personalities are complimentary. If you're both willing to lay the difficult groundwork, Water will be one of your most powerful and rewarding relationships. Earth: Your elemental equal. You have a lot in common with Earth, but unlike when Water and Wind get together, when Earth and Fire mix, it isn't going to be easy. Your strong personality traits make you both pretty stubborn so you butt heads a lot. However, the great thing about it, and what makes you equals, is that while it isn't easy, it sure is fun. Earth is a little more emotional, so is more likely to get offended, but if you both remember that it isn't personal, a relationship with Earth will be lively, making for great arguments, and an excellent sparring partner. With an endless supply of laughs and discussion topics, you'll never have to worry about "so what do you want to do?" conversations. Wind: Not your opposite but not your equal either. Like a relationship with those of your own element, relationships with Wind are often hit-or-miss. You'll get along well with some and won't be able to stand others. You both have pulled back personalities, but where you are cautious, you'll see Wind as passive. Because Fires aren't know for their patience, your initial reaction will be to see Wind as weak. You'll want to pass them by, but don't. They can be a very calming influence on you and if you give them a chance, you'll find they're a lot stronger than you thought. If you don't have the attention span to get to know Wind, keep in mind that it is most likely your character flaw and not theirs. Keep an open mind.
