Your Inner Sex Gender: Man

For you, sex is a highly physical act. It's all about how good it makes your body feel.
And while sex with someone you care about is great - it's not a requirement.
You know that sex with a stranger can be hot, sometimes hotter than sex with someone you love.
Besides, when it comes to sex - you crave varity. If your lover doesn't offer it, you might look elsewhere.

The Playstation: Random Gentle Sex Master (RGSMf)

Easy to turn on. Hard to beat. You are The Playstation.

You're a nice girl, and you have lots of sex. It's therefore highly likely that you're attractive, and you're certainly outgoing & friendly. Plus, this healthy physical attitude of yours indicates deeper emotional well-being and stability. Unheard of. When guys dare to dream, they dream of you.

You don't get attached too easily, and, to wit, you're not necessarily looking for something long-term right now. That's a bigger asset than you know. Though, physically speaking, you're open to anything, you're keeping your emotional side well-protected. This means there won't be a lot of wreckage to clean up whenever you decide to settle down.

In the meantime, the men you share yourself with actually respect you. Like them, you enjoy sex for its own sake and don't need any other validation for pleasure than pleasure itself. Hopefully, you have the good sense to blow off anyone who thinks less of you for that. Usually, this is the part of the description where we offer some life-correcting advice, but honestly, we can't think of anything about you we'd change. Keep on fucking, partner.

Mythological Form

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.

The Interview Game

I called on Camilo to get me into the interview game.

The Questions:
1. How do you define your presence here?
2. What was your moment of power, your finest hour?
3. What was your most absurd dream that you had, that became reality?
4. What is your fondest memory from childhood?
5. What have you always wished you could do with your life, but
are too scared to try?

The Rules:
1. Leave me a comment or email, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3. You'll update your website with my five questions, and your five answers.
4. You'll include this explanation, and acknowledge me as the interviewer.
5. You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

The Answers:
1. How do you define your presence here?
I kinda touched on this the other week when I jumped into the black blogs discussion, but I define Kitty Power as a loose narrative of my life, loves, adventures, and thoughts. I put this out there because I've got a certain degree of egotism, but also because growing up I spent a fair amount of time feeling a little too cerebral and out there. Ever since I started writing on the web (initially to kill story telling time), I've discovered that people find it kinda entertaining as well as it being an interesting way to connect to new folks. It's been cool to discover that yes, I might be a little outside the box as far as a lot of things go, but I've got my voice being heard from my little corner. I define this blog as me being free to speak my mind as I don't always get the chance to in real life...within moderation. But, as I am multifaceted and keep some things close to the chest, the same applies here. It's simultaneously totally yet not representative of me.

2. What was your moment of power, your finest hour?
My initial cop out answer is to say that I haven't experienced it yet because I'm so young and feel that my best moments are before, not behind, me. As cheesy as it sounds, graduation was pretty powerful for me. So much shit led up to that. Every moment before, I felt like I wasn't going to make it because of mistakes, missed opportunities, malaise, exhaustion, you name it. I've never felt so completely drained as I did the last couple of months leading up to that and I found it hard to mentally think of myself being really done because I knew I had almost 2 more months of work ahead of me. Yet, that day everything just went right and for that ceremony, every piece of heartache, misery, failures and frustration was just worth because I did what I set out do.

3. What was your most absurd dream that you had, that became reality?
Going to Senegal was pretty huge for me. I've always been an optimistic pessimist. My excitement about anything is always secretly inverted by the dark thoughts that it won't really happen. I blame it on plenty of things, but that's another story. Junior year of high school was a big trip for my chorus for a week in Senegal to sing. I wanted to go unbelievably badly, but the cost was a lot more than my family could afford and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to go. Being an optimistic pessimist means that most of the time that my drive for the object of the conflict is neutralized because of opposing forces. With my mother on my shoulder as a hypercritical naysayer, I stopped hoping for it and resigned myself to being miserable. Yet my stepmother, having traveled everywhere and believing that the trip would be something that I'd treasure forever, made my father step up and I went. Mindblowing is the short description of everything I saw and did there and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. The dream of that trip itself isn't absurd, but my doubts and my mother's disencouragement are typical of from being from a community where something outside of a narrow range of presented experience is ridiculous. I know that's a strange statement and I've considered rewording it, but it is what it is.

4. What is your fondest memory from childhood?
I spent most of my formative years as an only child. My folks worked or were scattered about and I spent most of my time with my grandmother and great aunt. I trailed after them like a shadow, all through the city or down South, just soaking up being encouraged to be the little smart one and do whatever I wanted. My older relatives were strictly Southern, having come to NY in the 40s and 50s because where they grew up there were no opportunities. They didn't have the chance to go to school as they had wanted because they had to work in the fields or travel once they were older because by then they had families and responsibilities. Those women looked at me like an explorer of the possibilities a woman could have. I was actively encouraged not to cook (or rather, learn just enough to get by but also to keep it a secret), to study and read everything, to speak everything on my mind, to be loud, to be fearless, to be confident, to never settle for anything, to resist being "tamed." I was introduced as "the future writer" and clucked around appreciatively. I'm sure it sounds as if I retrospectively am lavishing being completely spoiled as a child, but what I am trying to celebrate is the memory of always being told that my possibilities were limitless, something which I rarely remember hearing since I was that tomboy running behind old women.

5. What have you always wished you could do with your life, but
are too scared to try?
When I was younger, I was encouraged to read everything I could get my hands on. A favorite was the Almanac, learning about all the different countries in the world and their histories. I used to write reports on Uruguay and Italy and Egypt and Greece, not being able to wait until I would go there. I decided in high school that I had to go to a college with study abroad, so I could go to England or France or Brazil or Japan. But, somewhere between sophomore and junior year, despite having the brochures and applications filled out, when it came time for me to pick some international location to call my home for months, I neutralized my own desire and killed that dream. It's been frustrating for me to have become more debilitated by self-doubt with age than I was as at 5 or 10 or 17. To do anything takes so much more encouragement and having to get fifth and sixth opinions. Having a friend like Alex always makes me more regretful because he is out there living his dreams unapologetically. Still, he planted the seeds in my head that with my coming temping financial windfall, I could pick up and go to those places I've only read and dreamed about. My excuses involving my parents' anger, potential wasting of money I should hoard, and a general fear of just saying "fuck it, I'll do what I want" are feeling pretty hollow for once. I don't even know if I need to do the stereotypical "post-collegiate backpacking" trip because that's not who I am, but me, my notebook, maybe a camera, riding the rails, seeing the sights, taking that leap is something that sounds so good to me right now. I strangely feel that if I can let go and just do it with this, a lot of other things that I'm always punking out about would follow suit.

Taking it back...

Taking it back straight old school, I'm 51.8% pure. I chuckle back on the days where I thought I'd be 92% forever.

As quick as he reentered NY, Alex has jetted back off across the ocean. He gave me some wonderful sage advice that helped me make up my mind. If Alex says someone is too sketch for me to be involved with, that's enough for me to listen. Not like that wasn't what I was thinking already.

All summer I've been experiencing writer's block. Mostly because once I gave every once of blood, sweat and tears I could muster to the yearbook, I had no desire to create anything. You might think, how can you write so much in this blog and be having writer's block? Well, this is different. It doesn't take much effort for me to yammer on and on about myself. People have been helping me keep the past couple of months crazy interesting. But I've regained that urge that's always propelled me to just write something. I dunno. We'll see how it turns out.

Alex's guerilla visit was great for me because it inspired me to again reassess what's going on with me. I want money to pay the approaching loans, a place of my own, to settle down into some sort of romantic bliss for a min (I'm such a softy underneath), and a way to combine my interests into something that's not completely draining. Sunday, we met up with other Wes kids who are now across country doing their own thing. I felt kinda stifled that I haven't done anything but rush from CT to here. Yeah, I had a good time for a while now, but I haven't had a real vacation in ages...minus that ill-fated 21st birthday trip to Miami and a visit to the Midwest. I've got invitations extended from France, Belgium, Portugal, New Mexico, and California. Fear of not being able to pay what I need to has me running to a "real" job, but truthfully, I don't mind the temp stuff, just the hours right now. What's to stop me really from working enough to pay stuff off and do some traveling? I think I'll hold off mentioning it to my parents just yet because they already attribute my general lack of "get up and go" to all the damned hippie schools I went to. Still I'm considering it.

Amusing stuff

Amusing stuff [via Palochi]

PISCES

Drinking style:

If you're a Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign -- and an addictive personality -- with Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and wind up in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive personality" can be read two ways, you know.

Trademark Cocktails:

Pisces rules fresh mint, and they do love a mojito or three -- though a julep will do just as well. They also like punches, like sangria or the oh-so-aptly named fish house punch. (Pretty much anything will satisfy a Pisces in a pinch, though -- "drinking like a fish" is an idiom pulled out of the zodiac, not the deep blue sea.) Pisces is a chocoholic and loves creme de cacao (and spiked cocoa). (Umm...no chocolate please. Very allergic. I do like sangria, but I'm having a sours period currently.)

Drinking buddies:

Love Life

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

In A Name

A reading on me from here (via Agendacide):

Candicissima will never grow up, and nor would we ever want her to. It is Candicissima's ability to be innocently fun-loving and childlike that makes her so endearing. Candicissima is extremely clever and sophisticated. There is, after all, a very big difference between being childlike and being childish. Candicissima is open minded, unselfish and able somehow to approach each new day with a spirit of real, fresh inspiration. That explains why Candicissima enjoys life so much and it also explains why other people, looking at Candicissima's life from a distance, cannot understand why she enjoys it so much. Those of us who know and love Candicissima find her enigmatic, mysterious or even downright baffling. We can't help liking her, but nor can we quite manage to work out where she is at, where she is coming from, what she is up to or what she is in to. Candicissima's tastes and preferences are what some people would call eclectic, others would term unusual and most folk would classify as 'just plain weird.' Candicissima, though, is consistent in her inconsistency. There is method to her madness. Candicissima is interested in - even fascinated by - so many strange, different topics and subjects because Candicissima is such a natural experimenter.

Candicissima doesn't need to travel the world in search of variety. Candicissima can wake up one morning feeling quite sure that she is one particular kind of person. By the afternoon she will be someone else. Her personality will not change, her loyalty will not waver but her mood will evolve allowing her to explore, enthusiastically, ways of behaviour which only a few hours ago seemed unattractive. Thus Candicissima creates a world in which there is constant variety and excitement. Boring people, who like to follow life's laws to the letter and stick rigidly to one fixed plan find Candicissima hard to handle or even to relate to. People with a sense of adventure, a sense of imagination and, most importantly of all a sense of humour, cannot get enough of Candicissima's company.

So, I'm flighty, eclectic, occasionally enigmatic and generally out there. That sums me up pretty well I'd say.

What Country Are You?

You're Fiji!
As calm, relaxed, and removed from life as they come, you're just so chilled out, it hurts people to see you.  Everyone aspires to be where you are, but most of them just can't put their stress away.  Little do they know that even you sometimes have inner turmoil and struggles!  For the most part, though, it's sun and fun for you, and that's the way you like it.  It's just sort of hard to get things done with all that partying.
Take the Country Quiz at the Blue Pyramid

A few minutes ago, I was strolling up the hills (yes, more than one, this is Middletown) coming back to my office from Neon, trying to balance a bag full of stuff plus rip open a bag of chips because I was about to eat myself alive. As I had crossed the Neon parking lot, some fool had beeped his horn, but I ignored it because why wouldn't I? On the street, I respond to my name and not much else. Besides, I wasn't in the street and blocking traffic and neither was he, so ghost! A minute and change have passed and I'm scarfing my Sour Cream and Onion about to turn onto the path that runs by Olin. This guy drives past and says to me hanging halfway out of his window: "Didn't you hear me beeping at you? Next time, you better come see what I want" before driving off.

Negro, please. Situations like that make me want to get violent. If my hands weren't full, I would've chucked a rock at his broken down ass car. What is it about a girl alone that makes some males feel that they can be as disrespectful as they want? The things that have been yelled out to me on the street -- when I'm dressed in the biggest jeans and baggiest shirts -- make me want to scream. Would they like it if some random stranger said to their sisters/girlfriends/wives/mothers/relatives/friends that they'd like to "take a bite out of that ass" or "paint you naked" or "show you what a real man could do," or my personal favorite, that they're a "stuck up bitch" because they didn't respond to those oh-so-tantalizing offers. God help a woman who actually responds to an obnoxious SOB beeping and calling her out from his car to get her attention. I'm not interested in even conversing with someone who is disrespecting me from go. If I was a superheroine, I'd be the Emasculator, keeping women safe from harassing men and giving their asses a beatdown if they step out of line.

Procrastinating like a mofo...

Actually, I haven't been that bad overall. Just in terms of yearbook. I've thought a lot about it, but no actual work. I have applied to plenty of jobs though. That's a good thing. My pockets are beginning to feel...light.

But lookie what I found while surfiing the web. Nothing says, "I'm just bullshitting around" like one of those multi-question things. Let the fun begin!

LAYER ONE :
Name: Candice
Birth date: March 9
Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY
Current Location: Middletown, CT (unfortunately)
Eye Color: super dark brown
Hair Color: black
Height: 5'5" on all official documents, but somewhere in the upper 5'4 range.
Righty or Lefty: Righty
Zodiac Sign: Pisces

LAYER TWO :
Your heritage: Southern fried, NYC concrete growing black girl
The shoes you wore today: Pumaesque gray and reds
Your weakness: Junior's Strawberry Cheesecake with Strawberry Ice Cream on top
Your fears: heights, being destitute and alone, being unemployed forever, never leaving Middletown
Your perfect pizza: Meat Lover's Special with a fluffy crust
Goal you'd like to achieve: Mayor of New York...I surely can't be worse than the craptastic ass currently in power.

LAYER THREE :
Your most overused phrase on IM: Definitely heh, but I write like I speak.
Your thoughts first waking up: Fucking brightness *grumble, grumble*
Your best physical feature: Eyes, no doubt, but I give a good eyebrow raise
Your most missed memory: navigating Manhattan with my aunt when I was a kid, playing basketball with the boys in elementary and high school

LAYER FOUR :
Pepsi or Coke: Neither unless it's late and I need a buzz.
McDonald's or Burger King: McD's for the fries and double cheeseburger
Single or group dates: I'm not really a dater per se, but I am a one-on-one interacting sort more times than not
Adidas or Nike: Depends on the present style pursuit
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Nestea
Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate kills! (and yes, in the bad way. I'm allergic.)
Cappuccino or coffee: Coffee but it's too dangerous for me. One night and it had me acting like an addict.

LAYER FIVE :
Smoke: It's been known to happen, some times more frequently than others
Cuss: Is the Empire State Building tall? I've got a little bit too much of potty mouth I thinkk.
Sing: Often. Maybe for you if you ask nicely...
Take a shower everyday:Natch.
Do you think you've been in love: Yes...unfortunately.
Want to go to college: Been there, done that. I need some time away.
Like(d) high school: 'twas fun in an offbeat sort of way.
Want to get married: Yeah...in the far far future

LAYER SIX :
In the past month, have you...
Drank alcohol: I'll have to go with an affirmative on that one.

Gone on a date: I repeat: "I'm not really a dater per se"

Been dumped: Don't you have to be dating to get dumped?
Gone skating: Nope
Made homemade cookies: No...but I was thinking of whipping up some cornbread. Yum.

Dyed your hair: To dye my hair which is almost too dark to be called raven even, I'd have to strip the color out and have it resemble the tint of straw before putting a new color in. That shit ain't happening!

You sound boring: Yeah well, what can I say? I'm in Middletown against my will. God knows shit doesn't ever happen here!

LAYER SEVEN :

Been trashed or extremely intoxicated: Sure.
Been caught "doing something": Nope.
Been called a tease: No, that's what I call silly boys. I put up or shut up. It's a lost art.
Gotten beaten up: Not at all. I was always the scrappy sort.
Shoplifted: Nope. I had a fear of getting caught and my mom stripping the black off my ass.
Changed who you were to fit in: Not because of peer pressure or something equally cliched. I go through style phases and have strange eclectic friends. I'm usually good old moi though.

LAYER EIGHT :
Age you hope to be married: Uh...early 30s?
Numbers and Names of Children: Well, I want at least 1 but the cap is 3. I need a little Cassandra Maria.
Describe your Dream Wedding: now that's something I don't even really think about.
How do you want to die: After a long fulfilling life peacefully.
Where you want to go to college: I went to Wes. For grad school, I'm looking towards the Chicago, Philly, DC, Cali, and NY areas with nothing jumping out yet. Some place that'll take my underachieving ass would be nice.
What do you want to be when you grow up: Financially comfortable
What country would you most like to visit: Brazil, Italy or Morocco.
