I love Vikings, the Society for Creative Anachronism (I play a Norsewoman), reading, religious studies, Steampunk (fading a little from that however), goth subculture, HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY, jewelry making and nerdy things! I am not much of a gamer or anything but I have liked some fantasy aspects of those sort of things and am willing to work with them more.
I have a few tattoos but they are on my calves. Saving up for more. I don't have facial piercings because I'm a piercing wuss but I do like them. I like alternative lifestyles and interests.
Concerning music I listen to a wide variety. From Amon Amarth to NIN to Spice Girls (It's my past and I'll keep them). I tend to listen to more industrial, Viking Metal, rock, meditation, and "fun" 90's poppy music. I'm pretty open. Not a huge fan of most hip hop, rap, country or whiney modern pop.
I was asked what makes me unique. Well, I'm a modern day Viking woman (a lot of my friends call me Valkyrie or by my Norse name Katla) with dyed dark brown and red hair (it's naturally dark blonde) and Bettie Page bangs. I'll wear a shirt in runes claiming "Proud Warrior of Odin" and combat boots one day and a 40's cut dress the next. I am pretty genderfluid and will be that person who jumps in the mud and starts a fight or who sits pretty with bright red lips. I have a funky fashion sense and like others who get a little creative with theirs but it's not necessary. I am also a Heathen. I do work with the Norse gods and have been a Pagan since I was 12. For those who immediately think of Skinhead Odinist NO I am not racist or anything. I just follow the path of my ancestors.
Not sure what else to write. I'm sure POF wanted me to write I am a supercharged Fire Goddess of Fantasticalness and I am. Just have to be honest about everything else too!
Some other stuff:
I wanted to be honest right off the bat since I don't believe in talking yourself up. I don't currently have a job other than handcrafting jewelry out of my home and I don't drive. Makes me sound like a 15 year old girl but I've lived a life where it has led me to this. I don't feel bad about it and I am happy where I am but it is something I know will put some people off. Just letting you know now before you progress further. :]
For years in between unsuccessful relationships I was curious about dating sites. I heard from friends that some sites required a certain look, body type, income, etc so that was one reason I stayed away. Another was that I have always been a very big girl and also my personality can be confusing. I was afraid I would disappoint the person I was meeting. However, I have come to realize that there ARE people out there who like women like me so I am going for it! I just don't get out enough to find them so here I am!
At first I am either so shy it is hard for me to find something to talk about or I burst out in rambling randoms! It's a nervous thing but once I get to know a person I even out with my communication. I have met people before that we shared mutual attraction but that mistook my shyness as dislike or disgust. Or even as intimidating or ****y. I am just shy. My main friends as a child, teen and even some of my adulthood were books so you can see the issue with communicating with a physical animated being. teehee
