Laser Bitch

(direct source) - "Oftentimes known as 'the Bitch', I've adopted the longer online moniker of Laser Bitch. I can sometimes be seen at concerts, certain local gatherings, but rarely at the clubs because the distance/driving time (from St Cloud where I dwell to Mpls/St Paul where things generally happen) vs. my whacked up schedule can be frustrating after a grueling day at work. I've been a flickering presence in and around the scene since 1997, which is about the same time I was introduced to the other side of life. At this point, the music is more important to me than the fashion, but I still can't resist a chance to deck myself out for outings or pose for photo shoots with my husband.
I'm sure I and said husband are recognized by many, known by few."

It's true you know. Apparently there is some strange aura about me that causes me to be unseen, or just confused with about 150 other people.
My support of the scene equates to me going to concerts when I can, which is more than I used to be able to (just trust me on this last part), and getting my fix of some local bands, such as All the Pretty Horses, Psychopop, and Autumn. And even though this had next to nothing to do with the scene, I am working on getting a comic-book published ... as much as I can, that is, without an artist.
I have affectionately been called a "fiend." What kind of "fiend," however will be left up to your imagination. I'm a private sort. Although, let me just dispel one possibility. I have NEVER, EVER "lived above the chemist," and I never intend to. Gawd, I'm boring, aren't I?
Enough of me rambling about myself in my own words...now I'll use someone else's:
"The athlete who takes pride in running faster than another knows that he has overcome his natural lethargy and trained his body to accept the punishment of the race. The musician who takes pride in his composition or his performance has the right to be proud, because he has created an expression of his discipline and his control. Insofar as we may do a good thing from instinct, we feel, or ought to feel, less pride in accomplishment than if we had done it through self-control and careful thought; through the domination of the brain over the body. I think my entire life is an effort to secure the command of my brain over my body."
"No, I take that back. I don't like being approached on the street, or by charities, because they make me think that I owe them something because I have a share in whatever brought them to this state, and that is untrue and irritating. Whether it be some bum on the street, or a huge billboard depicting starving children in Africa, they are saying, "If your life is better than this, it's your fault mine isn't as good," and I just won't accept the guilt for that. I didn't build this world, I don't control it, and when I succor a friend, or even a stranger, it is because I want to. I feel no shame because, though I bear the guilt for my actions, I refuse to accept the blame for things with which I had nothing to do, and I don't do things for which I ought to feel shame. I am not without a conscience; I merely have no need for shame."

Moirha

(direct source) - "There are many paths. Some lead to the end, some back to the beginning. All contain joy and tradegy. Each step down that road, reminds us who we are inside. Choose a path to travel: Heart, Mind, Body or Spirt. Which one you choose, depends on what you seek and what you dare."
