Yes, it's your friendly neigborhood Took, now in this convenient carrying case!
I got Took from a character I created for Vampire: The Masquerade who called himself Napoleon Took. (he was mad as a hatter) Napoleon for the famous French ruler and military strategist, and Took from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, becuase the Tooks were a family of hobbits who, unlike the rest of their kind, were prone to go off on adventures and do all sorts of other distasteful things.
I see myself as being very similar to the Took family. I tend to go off on adventures quite frequently, whether they be biking miles to a club to catch the last 15 minutes of industrial night, walking the streets of Champaign, Illinois at 3 AM with my friends crying out "Do you want a spanking?", or hanging out with someone for hours on end who I met for the first time that day, just because I think they are cool. To me life is an adventure, and I try and live it that way, whether it be distasteful to someone else or no.
I've been learning Wicca for about a year now, and practicing mostly solitaire. I started out on this path when I was wandering in a park with a couple of my friends. We were walking through the snow, and I had to pee. It was late, so I just went behind a tree. After I finished, I felt this odd twinge in my mind, tugging at me to go towards this small clearing. When I got there, I immediately felt a sense of belonging, and saw a long, unfinished piece of wood at my feet. I picked it up and I knew that this was to be my staff, gifted to me by the Lady of the grove. From that day forward I have considered myself Wiccan. My path can best be described as eclectic, taken from many sources, including Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.
I am also engaged to a wonderful lass by the name of Jenn Lewis. She brings light to my life, and happiness to my dreams. When we are handfasted, then I will rejoice. Jenn is very special to me. It's difficult to talk about it, really, because for the most part words do not suffice in this matter. Together, I feel we are the best thing for each other's sanity and happiness. To coin a phrase, we mesh. We are both learning to use our abilities, though Jenn is a much better empath than I. I love her infinitely. Our engagement is somewhat unique as we are both practicing polyamourists, and plan to form a polygamistic family when we are wed. Perhaps one day I will manage to get her on IRC. *grin*
Right now, I'm living in Urbana, Illinois, birthplace of the HAL 9000 and home of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I do not attend that august body currently, however, as I was sent a letter by the University politely saying "Please don't come back." That was a year ago and more, and now I am back in Champaign-Urbana, attending the local community college.
