A Little More About Me:
I'm Macedonian and proud of it, but I live in the States, so I don't get to visit often. It's a beautiful country, and I highly suggest checking it out if you ever get the chance. I love to write and design. I enjoy art and have a healthy respect for the masters along with a bunch of the contemporaries. My BA is in Interactive Multimedia with a concentration in Graphic Design (try putting that on a resume). I work for an apparel company designing logos for baseball hats and jerseys and will soon be expanding into other areas. I have a weakness for boys with high voices, muscles, tattoos, and glasses. Chocolate is yet another weakness, and will probably be the death of me someday (lol). Cars are my passion; classic, modern, futuristic. They're all cool to me. My life revolves around the computer, it seems, and around my TV. That's where you'll find most of the time. Other than that, I'm pretty bland altho the muses are quite entertaining.
Meet the Muses:
Paris: The literary muse. She's a fickle little creature, beautiful and bold, delicate yet powerful. She comes and goes as she pleases, sometimes at the worst moments, like in the middle of a story I'm trying to write. But she always comes back to finish what she starts, and never leaves me for very long. Likened to Aphrodite, she eminates love, beauty and sexual rapture.
Athena: The artistically creative, wise, and tempestuous muse. Much wiser and more powerful than all my other muses combined, she keeps them all in line with one crack of her ancient staff. Her purpose is to provide me with inspiration in all my artistic ventures. Although she is quite good at it, there are times where she throws her fits and doesn't allow me to do my job, but like Paris, she always comes around and helps me finish what I start. Just like her namesake, Athena is a goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill.
Danny: The sexy, grounded muse. A lethal combination of sex appeal and smarts, Danny has a power over both Paris and Athena (and, I must admit, he's got a power over me too). He originally started out as a plaything for the girls, but after managing to shut Paris up during a particularly rough time for me, I elevated his status to muse. He is now the god of sex and sarcasm, akin to Eros, and aside from keeping Paris out of my hair and aiding Athena in her artistic whims, he helps me with both my writing and my art. He is always by my side, and unlike the other two muses, has never left me for one second, although he's been known to be somewhat cocky and egotistical.
Allegra: The fledgling muse. She's my playful muse who loves fluff and Miami. Unlike Paris and Athena, Allegra has a much softer side. She's the fun muse that likes fairy tales and happy endings. There's no angst with her, only sunshine and love. She's more or less responsible for any of the fluff I write, and whatever I end up doing in the CSI: Miami or Bones fandoms. She likes her weather warm and her men tall, fair, and handsome with hazel eyes and soft smiles. (Alright, so she's in love with Ryan Wolfe.) In Italian, her name means happy or jaunty, which is exactly what the other muses need.
