Some Testimonials!

Putting This Here So I Can Add A Link To My Userinfo! :o)

"Not only is Rose a beautiful person, both inside and out, but her beautiful coloratura soprano voice is out of this world! She can send chills down your spine and bring tears to your eyes. With her beautiful voice, whether she is singing or acting, Rose can bring the strongest men to their knees in awe."

- Laura, Fashion Student And Model -

"Not only is Rose's voice beautiful, but only one listen tells you it comes from the heart. Rose has the quality you only get from being dedicated and passionate about music, which is one of the rarest and most valuable qualities in the modern world. Her voice will take you to long forgotten realms, make you believe in magic again and lift your soul."

- Lily Fox, University Of London English Student And 06/07 Treasurer Of The Rev Rock Gospel Choir -

"Even though Rose is so small, she's got a big, BEAUTIFUL voice! I've heard her sing many times and every time it gives me goosebumps. She really puts her soul into it and just by listening you can tell how much she loves singing. She is a wonderful singer, it's what she was born to do!"

- Tanya Hoth, Artist -

“Some people can sing and some people can even sing well, but unless you have put your heart and soul into the singing the sound falls short. Rose is not one of these singers. Rose is one who sings with her whole heart and soul and so her voice can never sound dull or meaningless. It floats with the grace of her spirit and speaks to those who will listen.”

- Catherine Christine, poet and singer –

“Not only is Rose an amazing singer, talented actress, and astonishingly good imitator of accents, but she also radiates a powerfully intoxicating otherworldly magnetism that makes her impossible to ignore. If you spend just a short time delving into the pieces of her life that she shares with the world, you will become captivated by her...drawn in by an indescribable force that is most likely a combination of magic, charm, sweetness, and the pull of a thousand glowing full moons.”

- Miz Liz, handbag designer and suburban superheroine –

“Rose has a lovely and delicate voice, and she sings with nuance and skill. She is always welcome to sing my vocal works, and indeed I look forward to hearing it if or when she does.”

- David Ackerman, Composer -

Misconceptions: Shamelessly Nicked From beloved_juno.

2006-02-23T21:51:34Z

"A little while ago, I was just kind of thinking about the difference in people's perception of me from afar.... over the internet or long distances.... as opposed to up close and personal. In some ways, I think that people understand me better on-line without the little everyday trivialities to get in the way, but in other ways, I think that people tend to totally miss the boat and fill in the blanks themselves.

As I understand it, it's that way for a lot of people. So what would each of you say are the most commonly made assumptions or misconceptions about you when it comes to people you know through someplace like Live Journal or My Space as opposed to real life?"

Assumption: That I Have A Huge, Overwhelming Ego.

Reality: I Come Off As Supremely Confident And Full Of Myself Because Of The Way I Write. I Often Write Flowery, Poetic, Over~The~Top Descriptions Of Myself {To Boost My Own Self~Esteem} But I Do Not Feel The Need To Build Myself Up By Tearing Others Down, And Have Never Done So. My Descriptions Of My Friends And Loved Ones Are Just As Flowery, Poetic And Over~The~Top As The Ones I Write About Myself! It's Simply The Way I Write. I Like Lush, Pretty, Descriptive Words And So I Use Them. Often. I Actually Have Rather Horrible Self~Esteem {In Some Areas} And Often Look To My Friends And Loved Ones For Validation. I Can Admit That It's Not The Healthiest Or Strongest Way To Be, But There You Have It. For The Most Part, Though, I'm Incredibly Happy With Who I Am, And I Do Genuinely Like Myself. I'm Also Very Proud Of My Heritage {Both Familial And Spiritual} And Of My Talents And Good Points. So That May Come Off As Ego Too. I Thrive On Praise And Compliments, True, But I Also Like To Give As Good As I Get! :o)

Assumption: That I Am Cheerful And Chipper ALL The Time.

Reality: Of Course I'm Not. No~One Is. I Have My Moments Of Hurt, Pain, Illness, Anger, Depression, Gloominess, Etc. Just Like Everyone Else. The Difference Is That Instead Of Allowing Those Moments To Define Or Control Me, I Am Able To Lift Myself Out Of Negativity And Focus On The Positive, To Find The Goodness, The Hope And The Magick {Which Is Always There For Me To Find, Without Fail!} I See My Journal As A Place To Record The Best, Most Shining Moments Of My Life, And For Light~Hearted Fun. It's My Ambition To Bring Happiness, Magick And Joy To Others, Therefore, I Don't Always Share My Trials And Tribulations In My Journal. But I Can Assure You That The Rose You See In My LJ Being Chirpy, Cheerful, Positive And Happy Is Me 99% Of The Time! It's Not A Facade Or A Front.

Assumption: That Because I Focus On The Pink, Glittery, Girly, Fluffy, Frilly, Fae And Feminine And Because I Have A *Disney Princess* Outlook On Life, Seeming So Sweet And Innocent That I Don't Have A *Dark Side*.

Reality: I Do Have A Dark Side. I'm Fascinated With Vampires And Vampirism, With Jack The Ripper And His Victims, With The Darker Aspects Of Faerie. I Adore Gothic {Albeit Mostly *Lolita*} Clothing {Especially In Blood Red And Black} I Love Graveyards {Older, Atmospheric Ones. It's Best If They're Over 200 Years Old} And Loathe The Sun, Preferring Night To Day By Far. I'm Fascinated By Dark, Obsessive, *Twisted* Love Relationships {Such As Erik And Christine In *Phantom* And Hyde And Lucy In *Jekyll & Hyde*.} I Have A Naughty, Nymphish, Saucy, Wild, Witchy And Wenchly Side. I Can Be Flirty, Bawdy And Wanton. It Doesn't Always Show, But Believe Me, It's There! I Could Go On, But As You Can See, I Do Possess A Dark Side. It's Just, As My Dear Friend merit_binah Once Said {Causing Me To Stamp My Size 3 1/2 Foot In Mock Anger} "A Very Cute, Glittery And Girly Dark Side!" LOL! But I'm Not All Sweetness And Light, Even Though It May Seem That Way!

Assumption: That My Life Is Completely Perfect.

Reality: No. It's Not. I Am Constantly Hurting, Feeling Ill Or In Pain {Due To Diabetic Neuropathy And Chronic Sinusitis} I Have To Take Medication That Makes Me Nauseous And Even Dizzy At Times, I Don't Sleep Well At All, Due To The Pain, And I Am Constantly Having To Do Bloodwork When I'm A Needlephobic Who Is Terrified Of Needles. Bloodwork That Leaves Hideous Bruises On My Arms That Don't Heal For Weeks. My Mother, Whom I Dearly Love, Has Been Critically Ill With Kidney Failure Since Last Year. She Also Had 3 Heart Attacks And Open~Heart Surgery Last Year {All Due To Complications Of Diabetes} And I'm Constantly Worried And Stressed About Her Condition. I Despise Living In Florida Because Of The Sun And The Heat And Because My Heart And Soul Are Constantly Longing To Be Elsewhere. I Have A Very Demanding Job. I Take Care Of A Two Year Old For 12 Hours A Day, Five Days A Week And Very Often Over~Night And Week~Ends As Well. And I Make Very Little. $30 A Day {About $700 A Month} But, Here's The GOOD Part. None Of This Matters To Me Because I Have True Love. My Marriage Is Completely Blissful, Romantic, A Perfect Faerie Tale. My Husband Adores Me And Takes Exquisite Care Of Me, Just As I Try {And Hopefully Succeed} To Do For Him. We Have Something That You Don't See Every Day, And I'm So Incredibly Blessed In Having Him. I Am Loved Un~Conditionally By My Husband, My Family And My Wonderful Friends. I Am Genuinely Happy. I Am Genuinely Positive. I Appreciate And Am Appreciated. I Have My Creative Outlets {My Singing, Dancing, Designing And Writing} I Have My Spirituality, My Ideals And My Beliefs. And Despite The Negative Aspects That I Mentioned, I Can See The Goodness And The Beauty In Everyone And Everything I Encounter. I Am So Much In Love With My Life! It May Not Be Completely Perfect, But From My Point Of View, It's Pretty Darned Close!

Those Are Just A Few Misconceptions Of Many. And Since I'm Posting This, I'd Like To Issue An Open Invitation.......

If There Is Any Aspect Of Me, My Life Or My Personality That You Feel You May Have Misconceptions About, Or That You Have Questions About, Please Feel Free To Post A Comment Here And I Will Answer You As Honestly And Openly As I Possibly Can. And Please Take The Oppourtunity To Post About Other's Misconceptions Of You And Your Realities Too!

Guilty Pleasures?

1. Appreciate My Quirkiness, My Uniqueness, My Eccentricities. I Am The Original Little Bundle Of Contradictions. And I Will Never Be Fully Explained.

Disney Princess Tea Parties, Woodland Faerie Frolics And Oceanside Picnics, Make~Believe And Let's Pretend, Ghost~Hunting, Pre~Raphaelite Photo~Shoots, Midnight Masquerade Balls.

It's Great For My Self~Esteem! I Love Giving Compliments Too. It's Wonderful To Boost Someone's Self~Esteem And Make Them Feel Great About Themselves. It Takes Such A Small Moment Out Of Your Day To Say Something Nice To Someone Else That Just Might Make Their Entire Day, And The Added Bonus Is That When You Do That, You Get To Feel Good About Yourself Too! :o)

4. Create Something For Me. Write Me A Poem Or A Song. Draw Me, Paint Me, Sketch Me, Use Me As A Character In Your Novel Or Story! Design A Gown Or A Piece Of Jewelry With Me In Mind.......I Have So Many Incredibly Talented, Artistic Friends, And I Adore Being A Muse. The Very Idea That I've Inspired Anyone To Use Some Of Their Precious Gift Of Talent And Imagination, Really Makes Me Feel Loved. Art In All Of Its Forms Touches Me To The Deepest Core Of My Soul, So Seeing Art That I've Inspired Is Especially Touching And Special To Me.

5.Believe In Magick, Love At First Sight And Happily Ever After.

7. Give Me Cute Or Meaningful Nicknames. I *Collect* Them. And Receiving New Ones Is Always A Great Joy For Me. When Someone Takes The Time To Give Me A Pet Name Or A Meaningful Nickname It Shows A Great Deal Of Love In My Eyes.

Rose's Nicknames.

8. Love My Bratty Diva Streak. Know That Even Though I Come Off As A Vain Little Princess, There Is Nothing I Wouldn't Do For Each And Every One Of My Friends And Loved Ones.

13. Take Me To Barnes And Noble Or Borders And Don't Mind The Fact That I'll Be Lost In My Own World For Hours And Hours. {Supply Me With Coffee, A Cosy Armchair And Stacks And Stacks Of Books And I'm A Blissfully Happy Little Faerie Girl!}

Each Of Those Little Passing Thoughts From A Friend Or A Loved One Is Like A Precious Gem, And When They're Shared And Stored In One's Memory They Make The Most Splendid Jewels Any Princess Could Ever Wear!

Top Ten MOST Annoying Things To Me.......

1} Bitchy Girls Who Attack Me Or My Friends Out Of Spite, And Their Own Insecurity And Jealousy

2} Girls Who Make Plays For Guys Who Are Obviously Taken And Obviously NOT Interested In THEM! {LOL! Give It Up! You Don't Stand A Chance In HELL! }

3} Girls Who Imitate Or Copy Me

4} Injustice, Bigotry, Ignorance, Prejudice, Narrow~Mindedness And Abuse Or Cruelty Of Any Kind

5} People Who Wear {Real} Fur As A Fashion Statement

6} *Logical*, Un~Emotional, *Vulcan* Type People {Especially Those Who *Don't Believe In Faerie Tales*}

7} *Tough* Girls Who Dress, Look And Act Masculine {Which Is Perfectly Fine In And Of Itself, If That's *Who You Are Inside*} And Want To Be Accepted *Just The Way They Are*, Yet Think Nothing Of Attacking And Trashing Ultra~Feminine Girls {Like Myself} For Being Too *Cute And Glittery*, Too *Soft And Girly* And *Too Pretty And Feminine*, Openly Stating {Sometimes Quite Viciously} Their Hatred Of All That They Consider *Weak* Or *Fluffy* {Too Bad They're Too Blind To See The Awesome Power That We Ultra~Feminine Goddesses Possess....... And So Easily Wield!}

8} Typos! Especially Any That I Don't Catch In My Own Posts! I'm Such A Perfectionist That I've Been Known To Fix Other People's Typos When Responding To Their Posts! :oP

9} Girls Who Feel They Have To Resort To Society's Screwed Up Image Of What's *Beautiful*.......{My Friends And I Call Them *Britneys*} Bleached Blonde Hair, Orange *Fake Tan* Or *Fried~Sausage Skin* Real Tan ::Shudders:: UGH!

Musings Upon My Faerie Blood And Traits.......

2003-05-21T21:35:07Z

Today I've Been Thinking About My Otherkin/Faerie Connections And Traits.......

My Connections Are All Either Through Hereditary/Blood Lineage Or My Past~Lives.......

The Best Place To Start Is Always At The Beginning And So That's What I'll Do!

My Soul Had It's Beginnings As A *Vila/Gwragedd Annwn/Lake Maiden/Faerie Bride Type Of Fae.......The Memories Are Vivid But Fragmented....... Here's What I Remember.......

I Was The Daughter Of The Danube River And My Best Friend Aria Was My Twin Sister, My Absolutely Identical Twin {Except For Our Colouring} We Were Created In The Same Instant, With The Same Thought, In The Same Breath And With An Unbreakable Bond To One Another Which Is Stronger Than Ever Now....... Even After Millennia Have Passed....... I Made The Fatal Mistake Of Falling Hopelessly In Love With A Mortal Boi And As Punishment I Was Ripped Away From My Twin And Made Mortal.......Along With Being Given The Horrifying Knowledge That If I Tried To Have Any Contact Whatsoever With The Boi I Loved, He Would Die A Slow, Painful Death.......All Because Of Me.......

That Is My Vila/Gwragedd Annwn/Lake Maiden Connection

I Am Both Selkie And BeanSidhe By Blood/Heredity, Through My Ancestress Niamh Coneely {Who Is Also My Spirit Guide And Protectress} Niamh Was A Selkie Woman Who Married A Coneely Man, Bringing The Faerie Blood Into The Clan.......Her Legacy Continues In The Family's Unusual *Faeness* To This Day! I Am A Mental/Astral Seal Shifter {Selkie} And Of Course, That Is Another Tie To The *Shapeshifting Faerie Bride* Types! When Niamh Decided To Cross Over Into Spirit, Her Greatest Desire Was To Spend Eternity Guarding And Caring For Her Descendants.......And So She Became The Clan Coneely BeanSidhe {Which Is Why I Said In An Earlier Post That BeanSidhes Can Also Be Created Out Of Great Love.......}

That's My Selkie And BeanSidhe Connection :o)

My Next *Faerie Touched* Life Is Where My Rusalka Connection Comes In....... It Was In The 13th Century And My Name Was Isabeau De Hever.......My Father Was The Lord Of Hever Castle In Kent, England.......He Was Very Abusive And Controlling And I Had A Sister Who Was Insanely Jealous Of Me.......I Was Betrothed To A Neighboring Knight Who Was My Perfect Match. We Were Desperately In Love And Couldn't Wait To Be Married {My Father Approved Of My Betrothed Because He Was Very Wealthy And Influential Within The Court} Well, My Sister Wanted My Beloved And So She Went To My Father And Told Him That She'd Seen Me Having Sex With The Son Of A Local Tenant Farmer {Which Was A Bold~Faced Lie} Fearing That My Marriage And Its Perks Would Now Never Manifest Themselves, My Father Beat Me Sensesless And Threw Me In The Surrounding Moat To Drown.......Which I Did.......Becoming A Ghostly/Fae Type Guardian Of The Waters Surrounding Hever Castle And Acting As A Protectress To Any Young Girls At Hever Who Might Be In Danger Of
Drowning As I Had.......

I Remained In That Rusalka~Like Form For Several Centuries Before Finally Deciding To Be Re~Born Into The Family That Now Owned Hever.......The Howards.......{Who I Am Also Blood Related To In The Present Life} This Is Where My LeananSidhe Connection Comes From. Through Kathryn Howard.......The LeananSidhe Blood Seems To Run In The Veins Of The Howard Women And Was Especially Strong In Me {As Kathryn} And My Cousin, Anne Boleyn.......It's My Opinion That The LeananSidhe Blood Was Behind The Ability Both Anne And I {As Kathryn} Had {And To An Extent Still Possess.......} To Fascinate And *Bewitch* Men, Making Them Become Obsessive Over Us.......Of Course, This Power Has A Downside Because It Creates A Major Problem With Stalkers! {And I've Been Stalked By BOTH Sexes! Bois Who Obsess Over *Wanting* Me.......And Grrls Who Obsess Over Wanting To *Be* Me.......} ::Le Sigh:: And Of Course This Ability Is What Led To Both Anne And Kathryn Losing Their Heads.......

My LeananSidhe Side Is Also Where My Fascination With Vampires And My Vampiric Nature Stem From.......

That Is My Connection To The *Faerie Mistress*....... The LeananSidhe.......

Through Other Past Lives I'm Connected To Several Legendary *Fae* And Magickal Women.......

Morgaine Le Fey, Lady Godiva, Isolde Of Ireland And Rosamund Clifford {*The Fair Rosamund*} To Name A Few.......

I Also Had A Past Life As A Young Woman {A Natural Witch} In Scotland In The 1700's, Named Amanda, Who Was Just Possibly The Most *Fae* Creature To Have Ever Lived :o)

There's More But I'll Start Summing Up Now.......

My Water Fae Nature {Especially My Voice And My Hair} Is What Connects Me To Mermaids, Sirens And Naiads.......And I've Just In The Last Few Years Found A Very Strong Connection To The Kitsune {Fox Maiden Shapeshifters} Of Japan.......

So As A Whole, I'm Selkie, BeanSidhe, LeananSidhe, Rusalka, And Gwragedd Annwn/Vila....... Strongly Tied To Sirens, Mermaids, Naiads, And Kitsune........

I Have A Very Deep Connection With Shape~Shifting *Faerie Bride* Maidens.......

Selkies {Seal Maidens} Valkyrie {Swan Maidens} Kitsune {Fox Maidens}
And Also Shapeshifting Deer Maidens

My Patron Goddesses: Blodeuwedd, Cliodna And Fand Are All Faerie~Bride Shapeshifters.......

I Also Have A Powerful Affinity For Vampires And Ghosts {Especially Spectral Maidens/Ladies}

They Seem To Actually Seek Me Out!

And Last, But Never Least, I *KNOW* That I'm Elven.......Something About The Elvish Languages And Culture Totally Captures Me! I Am Obsessed With Tolkien And Convinced That There's More Fact Than Fiction In His Works! I Feel An Extremely Deep Connection To Elven Princesses.......Especially Melian, Lúthien And Arwen.......

I Think Those Are All Of My Hereditary/Blood And Past Life Otherkin Connections.......

Now For Some Of The Traits, Etc. That Make Me *Fae*.......

I Was Born With Natural *Elf Ears* {Pointed} But Had Them Surgically Altered To Look More *Normal* When I Was Around 9 Years Old....... Now Of Course, I Wish To Goddess That I Hadn't Done That!

*Wylde* Animals: Feral Cats, Birds, Squirrels And Others Are Drawn To Me.......Birds Have Literally Flown Onto My Outstretched Finger {Disney Style!} And Sung With Me, Squirrels Have Hopped Into My Lap And Taken Food From My Hand, And Feral Cats Literally Run To Me, Rubbing Against My Legs Purring Like Mad! I'm Also A Bit Of A *Horse~Whisperer* I've Never Met A Horse I Couldn't Ride, Including A Few That Big, Tough Men Were Afraid Of! LOL!

My VERY Strong Abilities Of Astral Projection, Past Life Re~Call, Glamours And Seeing, Hearing And Communicating With Ghosts, Faeries And Other Nature Spirits.......

Physical Re~Actions That I Have To Certain Substances.......For Example, Caffeine And Wine Affect Me MUCH More Powerfully Than They Do Most People.......And *Non~Drowsy* Medications Knock Me Out Completely For Hours!

Several Of My Friends Have Seen Me In The Astral With Wings..... Sometimes Faerie Wings, Sometimes Bat Wings, But Always Red And Black And Glittery.......

The Fact That I Don't Age Like *Normal* People.......I'm 24 And I Look About 14.......Tris Always Says It's Because Of My Faerie Blood.......

When I Get Angry, Upset Or Frustrated, I Literally Let Out A Sort Of *BeanSidhe* Scream Which Is So High Pitched That It Actually Causes Pain To Those Who Are Near Me.......

I FEED On Creativity {Both Mine And Others} And Admiration/Applause.......{I Couldn't Live Without Them! Creativity Is Like Oxygen To Me!}

The *LeananSidhe* Allure That Tends To Make People Obsess Over Me And Stalk Me {Not *Bragging* Here.......It's Just That It's Happened SO Many Times.......}

Some Of The Words Most Often Used To Describe Me Are; Ethereal, Fae~Like, Elven, Changeling, Pixie~ish, *Quixotic/Changeable/Contadictory* And *Arthurian* Or *Pre~Raphaelite* Among Others.......

I'm A TOTAL Naive And Trusting Dreamer With Little To NO Common Sense :o)

I Tend To Dress In A Very Lacy, Feminine, Girly~Girl, Vintage *Faerie Princess* Style With Gothy Touches.......

Then There's The Physical Stuff.......

Hair That's A Highly Unusual Colour {Red So Dark That It Can Look ALMOST Black But Shines Like Fire In The Sun.......Tight, Natural Spiral Curls Falling To My Derierre In True *Faerie Grrl* Fashion.......

*Translucent*, Luminescent Skin SO Pale That It *Glows*.......

Crystal Grey Eyes With Lightening Bolt Markings In And Darker Grey Rings Around The Irises.......Colour~Shifting: From Grey To Blue To Sea~Green To Violet To Silver, Depending On My Mood And My Clothes.......My Eyes Are HUGE. Tristan Calls Them *Moon Pools* And Have That Perpetual *Innocent, *Deer In The Headlights* Look........They're Almond~Shaped (Tipped} But Round.......People Are Always Telling Me That My Eyes Are *Ancient* And *Endless*.......I Think My Eyes Are My Most *Faerie~Like* Feature.......

I'm *Faery~Petite* At 4'11".......Delicate And Doll~Like .......

And Of Course I Already Mentioned My Ears!

My Voice {I'm A Coloratura Soprano With A 5+ Octave Range} I'm ALWAYS Being Told That My Voice Is *Angelic*, *Haunting*, *Like Crystal Bells*, *Pure*, *Birdlke*, *Faerie~Like* And *Enchanting* I've Been Told That I Can Hyptnotise Or Mesmerize People With My Voice {The Siren/Mermaid Connection} And I'm Especially Good With Song Spells.......

Another Odd Thing.......For Some Reason My Appearance Seems To Stay MUCH The Same Life After Life After Life.......As Does My Singing Voice.......I Am Forever The Tiny, Red~Haired, Pale~Skinned, Grey~Eyed Coloratura Soprano.......With VERY Few Exceptions.......

One Theory My Coven Sisters And I Have Is That It's So They Can Find Me And Recognize Me In Each Life.......And Another Is That I Retained My Colouring/Looks And My Voice From When My Soul Began As A Vila/Gwragedd Annwn.......

Hopefully, One Day Soon I'll Put All The Bits Of The Puzzle Together And EVERYTHING About My Faerie/Otherkin Nature Will Suddenly Become Clear!

Until Then, I'll Just Have To Remain A *Fae Little Bundle Of Contradictions*.......

There's More, But This Is Enough For Now!

RAMBLE OVER.......
