Four jobs I've had (this besides what I do freelance and in the way of gigs):
1. Library assistant/staff artist
2. Teacher, substitute teacher and/or teacher's assistant (creative writing, art, piano & voice, architecture, geology, Egyptology...)
3. Reception desk jockey/retail cashier
4. Resale warehouse inventory
Four things I want to do before I die:
1. Change the world for the better/wiser (and make a good living would be nice) with my clustered vocations
2. Make a figurative and/or literal castle and happily-ever-after with my mate (the wildlife kind, not just the g'day kind...>:)...)
3. Travel extensively, see the world and feel its memories and history directly
4. Build and prepare the (*cough cough*) Haven Project (shared dream, m'love)...anyone intrigued by the sound of that, why don't you ask me what I mean...?
Four things I say a lot:
1. Bloody hell
2. Buggerall
3. Shite
4. Grinchy
Four of my favorite foods:
1. Mongolian Beef
2. Spicy basil chicken or Panang curry, tom kha kai and a Thai iced tea...my standard order :P
3. Hawaiian pizza, or Chicago-style stuffed/deep-dish pizza w/ spinach and other good stuff
4. Borkol-mit-Wurst (so easy to make, it's almost like stone soup...)
Four people I'd like to curse:
1. Karl Rove
2. George W. Bush
3. James Dobson (founder/leader of Focus on the Family)
4. whoever first started the shit-throwing in the Middle East -- and I mean in all of history, dammit!
Four things I don't trust:
1. The Bush administration (though, the government in general also applies)
2. Any form of religious 'orthodoxy'
3. Cultural conservatives
4. The intelligence of the masses en masse
Four people from history I'd like to meet:
1. Gilgamesh
2. Lawrence of Arabia
3. Jesus
4. Mohammed (always helps to get a straight story...)
Four movies I watch over and over:
1. The Dark Crystal
2. The Return of the King / any of the LOTR trilogy
3. La Belle et la Bete -- aka the old French version of Beauty and the Beast)
4. Van Helsing -- it's on cable alot...yes, I know it sucked--and damn would I like to fix it somehow someday, 'cause it certainly wasn't the fault of (okay, most of) the actors and their character...but Stephen Sommers and Kate Beckinsale are ongoing targets for the manual cutlery, if ya know what I mean...

Have you tried projecting your form on the astral, and having a sensitive friend tell you what they see? You can *cough* find out all sorts of new things about yourself that way....

I'm extremely curious to find out what the truth is re Gilgamesh from his own perspective, because my take on it (from the most complete translation at the time I was taking Middle East History at Columbia) is that it seems to be a mythologized apologetic for the relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Not much else remains of Gilgamesh's legacy, and it seems that this epic was an attempt to explain his story to his people in a way that they would understand and sympathize with. Especially considering as this was a time before there was such a mental division/concept as gay/straight, and because he and Enkidu were both such strong and virile and 'manly' men, it'd be something to get the full story in his own words, ya know...?
