"The more you live in this world, the more you see how
apart from it you really are."
"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. ... The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."
(Whistler - Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Becoming, Part 1)
The wind is free, but the sand goes
where it is blown. Unaware of the world around it, whirling on the
breath of the Gods, at the mercy of the storm that engulfs it. What
is one grain of sand in the desert? One grain amongst the storm?
There are a number of creative outlets that I have. The first is photography, and my digital photography work can be found on DeviantART, here. I also share my photography work on Flickr, here.
In my spare time, I do a lot of creative writing. Some of this will be placed in my journal, however I have set up a couple of communities (as I can't be bothered remembering more than one set of LJ login information): -
The first of these is shadowed_kisses, an off shoot of the work I did when I was part of shadowedkisses. Although I'm not actively writing for shadowed_kisses anymore, I'm keeping the community open as I love the work, and it sets up some elements to one of my other stories.
I thought I'd make a post about the kinds of filters I have in
my journal.
All of my personal entries are "friends
only". I also have a
sexual filter, (join my sexual filter here),
and if you've been on my friends list for a while (and vice versa) then its
possible I'll grant you access to my "Elite" friends posts.
Only then will you have the complete picture of who I am.

"In my time on this planet,
I've discovered a number of things. I've learnt that even heroes
bleed, managed to develop a heart of stone, and I know all too well
the price of life. Now I'm just a fallen angel, seeking redemption
from a world in which I don't belong."
