I'm an art geek. My favorite painting for years was Prosperine by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, so when I started using the internet, Proserpine became my name. Moreover, I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic and I always loved the myth of Persephone or Proserpine. I also like it because although many are aware of the greek myth surrounding Persephone (which I do think sounds much prettier), they aren't aware that her Roman counterpart is Proserpine - like Zeus and Jupiter. Did I mention I was a bit of a geek? The reason I like Pre-Raphaelite painting is that many of the paintings portray women with large hair and I have long, large, curly blonde hair. I know, silly. So, there ya go!

pinion is the first song on the "Broken" EP by Nine Inch Nails

its not really a song, just guitar rifts that get louder and louder till finally it just kicks off into the first song.

I'm not really sure why I picked that as my user name...but I've been using it on the net for like 3-4 years. Originally I used "Ruiner" (a song from "The Downward Spiral"), but after a while felt it was a bit...harsh.

and now you know! and knowing is half the battle

Tattoo of a honeybee on my back. A guy called me that when he first saw it, and it pretty much stuck as a screen name since then.

You know, that's what everyone thinks... of course, not everyone has seen the bee either.

I'm thinking about taking that new chick from Logistics. If things go right I might be showing her my O-face. You know: Oh. Oh.

--classic movie...for anyone that doesn't know, I've just made your night-Go out and rent Office Space, a masterpiece of subtle and not so subtle humour.

Might actually change the name though, doesn't really say anything about me..I figure since I just signed up I can change it on the sly and no-one will even notice. Hmm, now I have to be creative, damn...
