Tarot asks~ The Magician, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Hermit, Justice, The Hanged Man, Temperance, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The World
the magician: have you ever written a poem or song about somebody else? Yes, when I was writing a lot of poetry they were always very personal so I wrote about family members, sometimes honoring those who’d passed, I’ve written about lovers (ex-lovers) and friends...on occasion though I would just use poems as a means of organizing my thoughts or trying to work out how I felt about something in life.
the emperor: what are some names that you like? Oh boy, I love names...I use name guides all the time for characters but a few favorites that come to mind are Beatrice, Heinrich, Gabriel, and Sophia.
the hierophant: do you believe in ghosts? Yes, I believe in both spirits and ghosts. I feel that ghosts are spirits who are still on Earth for whatever reason (unfinished business, unaware of being dead, etc.) and spirits are beings that have accepted their death and can have contact with the living but they are no longer bound by the desires they had in their lives.
the hermit: what is your favorite soda pop? For the most part I don’t drink soda any more and tend to stick with water and tea but when I was in Japan I loved melon soda. I still don’t know why they haven’t sold it over here since Fanta is the distributor in Japan and we have Fanta here..oh well.
justice: favorite color of rose? I do like the classic red color but I think when it comes to symbolism I actually prefer white roses.
the hanged man: favorite movie soundtrack? It’s a tough choice between The Fifth Element, Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Prince of Egypt. The Fifth Element has a lot of good atmospheric music that’s nice for writing.
temperance: can you describe a strange dream you’ve had? hmm, I can’t think of a specific one right now but I can tell you that lately an odd theme that has been showing up in my dreams is of me being in Japan and studying Japanese but somehow easily going home (to my home in the U.S.) easily and quickly as if I were studying at a school in the U.S. and not in Japan. Yet my dream makes an effort to specifically point out that the school is in Japan and I’m able to get home with in an hour or two without any airplane ride. And no, of course the dream doesn’t explain how that’s possible.
the tower: favorite colors to wear? Black and cool spectrum colors like blues, purples, greys, I do wear warmer colors from time to time but yeah my favorites are the ones listed above (and green) especially because those colors tend to bring out my eye color the most.
the star: have you ever seen a psychic? Yes, a few times...i really enjoy New Age things though I don’t go to them too often because I simply can’t afford their services or I’ll go to an introductory reading and get told that I need to have a cleansing (usually of chakras or just auras in general?) but that’s usually like $200 a lesson so I have to decline it. I can do that kind of stuff on my own anyway with mediation now so it’s no longer necessary.
the moon: have you ever written a love letter? Hmm, I’ve written love poems as mentioned earlier and my ex and I used to exchange written letters but I wouldn’t say that what I wrote was a love letter and it was more or less responding to her love letter. Also, if I’m confessing feelings to someone I prefer to do it in person even if that is a lot scarier than by letter.
the world: do you like waking up early? I do! I wake up early and go to bed early and even though I’m having lots of issues sleeping I’m sticking to that as best I can. There’s always so much I want to take care of during the day and since I have limited energy I like to get started early. The only times I really stay up late at night are when I go to conventions and even then I have trouble sleeping in so I tend to be a sleep-deprived zombie near the end of conventions.
