euphoria - Onela Sage

For the record, my journal is filled with an assortment of things, ranging from anime to movies, music, anime images, regular pictures, photos, random geek stuff and a ton more stuff. I usually update more than once a day, although I go periods where I do not update at all since I do not have a chance to get online long enough to dedicate myself to journals and the like, but please understand that I do not expect you to comment on all my journal entries and that if you do want to add me, please have something in common with me. No, not necessarily something written directly in my information, but I am sure you can get the idea that we would have something in common or not. I am very open with the things that I love and am passionate about, so it's pretty easy to figure out.

Things you might want to know about me, uh... I love writing. Writing is my first and foremost passion. I have been working on a series of fantasy books for over ten years, where the main characters are Sage and Onela, hence my name. Onela is from the word "alone" and she was the character I also roleplayed for nine years. I have wanted to live in New Zealand for over ten years! I'm a mommy and I'm in love. Nature is... not really a passion or an obsession or something I love - it is something beyond. I adore nature. I read about it constantly, watch documentaries almost daily, as well as do other research for a various amount of things. I love learning and I worship nature. I believe in nature more than I believe in anything else (except maybe Love). Even though I am a computer geek, I would be much more content out in a beautiful clearing in a forest somewhere staring at the trees and breathing in the air DURING THE RAIN. I ... am in love with the rain.. especially kissing in it.

I love instrumental music, my favorite composers being John Williams and Nobuo Uematsu. I love musicals, as well and have performed in quite a few and starred in some, too, including Maria from West Side Story and Eliza Dolittle from My Fair Lady. Some of my favorites include those and Moulin Rouge, Wicked, Jesus Christ Superstar, Avenue Q, Miss Saigon, Into the Woods, The Sound of Music, Man of La Mancha and more! I also love oldies, love songs, soundtracks, anime music and a lot more. Music is another large part of my world as I listen to my beloved instrumental music when I am writing and brainstorming and I use both the instrumental music and the musicals for imagination practice and daydreaming, as well as singing! Alone time is very special!

I am the biggest Final Fantasy fan I have ever met and I've played them all. I am an avid RPG fan in general and have played most RPGs in existence that I can get my hands on, be them online or console, it matters not. Used to do tabletop RPG, too! So, yes, video games are my second passion. I GM on a private Ragnarok server; I'm a proud geek. My favorite game character is Tifa Lockheart, followed by Schala from Chrono Trigger. Then Rinoa, Squall and Yuri. I am in love with Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII and have very often, on many occasions, been compared to Rinoa since I have a personality much like hers and seem to like the quiet, brooding, shy guys. I am also highly obsessed with Yuri from Shadow Hearts. I am totally in love with him and Alice and their story and games are breathtaking. I am highly obsessed and proud. I also love Chrno (My Anime God!) from Chrno Crusade and Inuyasha (My First True Anime Love!). I love anime, too, yes.

I also am very passionate about nature, mythology (particularly Greek), History (Middle Ages), Astrology, Meteorology and Archaeology.

I want to be an English teacher. I want to stop people from using the letter "u" to replace the word "You". It drives me insane. It's so lazy, but that does not mean I will be rude to you or anything like that if you do type poorly, I just might not take you as seriously. I hate drama. I hate it! I despise it with a passion and I also can't stand people that are rude for no reason, or just live to make others on the internet miserable. I love putting them in their place, though.

I am a HUGE HUGE Star Wars Geek! And Proud! I am obsessed with Ewan Mcgregor. I am the other Administrator to the private Ragnarok server BlackoutRO and have been there a year now. I also had to add on here that I am absolutely in love with the new show Heroes on NBC! OBSESSED. I LOVE HEROES SO MUCH. IF YOU DO NOT WATCH IT YOU SHOULD SUFFER FROM BEING A FAILURE. My nationalities are: Irish (over 57% (around 65, but not definite)), Greek (over 10%), Native American (two tribes; 8%ish), French (5-6%), Dutch and English. I am in college for an Associates in Business, and then from there, Masters in Education (English).

I want to finish my book and I want to write a storyline for a video game where I design the characters through writing, the world and everything, and the the animators and the like make it real. It will be an amazing game. You RPG fans would love it, I swear! I also want to be a Middle Ages Historian and hopefully teach on the side later on, but that's later on in life. I have read too many books to mention, but I prefer the fantastical fiction (or fantasy) genre, and my favorite authors include David Eddings, George R.R. Martin, Gregory Maguire, Michael Crichton, Lloyd Alexander, Robert Jordan, T.H. White, Leigh Eddings, Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. My favorite characters are Polgara the Sorceress from David Eddings' The Belgariad, The Mallorean, Polgara the Sorceress, Belgarath the Sorcerer and Elphaba Thropp from Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. I remind myself extremely of Elphaba, even in my looks (not green and not really the nose), but moreso in my personality, and the way I think. If I had been in Oz, I would have been doing what she had been doing, protecting the Animals, hiding away with my Love, and trying to make good in a world where no one could ever understand me.

So, if you feel that we have some common interests and you would like to add me, just leave a comment on my journal! If you would like to chat, I am almost always on GTalk, which is related to GMail. If you would like an invite, just ask! It requires no downloads and you just have to be logged into Gmail.com. Then you can personalize your Google Homepage, too, which is awesome! Just ask! I love meeting new people. Until then.. Thank you and have a nice day. Farewell.
