An Introduction of Sorts
I saw this mini survey on LJ, and figured I’d fill it out for those just arriving (as there are a few wandering over from Facebook). Feel free to skip if you already know me. 
1. Name, age, location.
My name is already known to anyone coming to see me, but here it is anyway. My professional name is Sheta Kaey, and that is the name I go by online and in many other situations. My original name is Julie Adams. My current last name is irrelevant, and I never liked it anyway. I am 49 years old, and I grew up in Portsmouth, Ohio, more or less. I currently live in Houston, Texas.
2. Picture of you, if possible.
You can find those in the bottom of the sidebar (old pic, and rendered as a self-portrait) and here (must be logged in to view).
3. Relationship Status
As they say everywhere, “It’s complicated.” I’m divorced, and in a relationship with a dead guy/spirit who is the primary topic of this blog. My marriage lasted four years, from 1988 until 1992. I was married four years and four days, as a matter of fact. It was a mistake to ever get married, and I was manic when I did it. I’d known the guy two months, he was 8 years younger than I was, and it was pure impulse based on mild psychosis, if you want the truth of it. Mania, untreated, tends to make one think grandiose things which can spiral into pure insanity. I was so very out of it that trying to remember that year is a blur of events that I can’t put into chronological order. It’s not pleasant to think about, either. I can only be grateful that no one found me wandering into a stranger’s house talking about aliens, like they did Anne Heche. Anyway.
My current relationship is much more healthy, though that may sound amusing. I don’t have to cook or clean up after him, and we are very close. Bad part is that I can’t get a decent hug. 
I can, however, connect on levels that most people cannot — empathic, emotional, spiritual — without the need for words or the struggle to be understood. I’m grateful for that. Plus I still get to be in charge of my own life, my free time, and my schedule in general. I’m not the easiest person to live with, so this is a good thing. The spirit’s name is Meridjet, for those just tuning in.
4. Are you in school?
Not in any formal way. I love to learn, though.
5. Do you have a job?
Technically, I’m disabled due to the bipolar disorder and panic disorder, but I make a few bucks fixing other people’s computers, and a few bucks editing esoteric nonfiction for a small publisher based in the United Kingdom (Immanion Press). I also manage and edit a magazine (online) called Rending the Veil, also esoteric. It comes out eight times a year. I make nothing at this, yet, but we have hopes for the future. Many good people involved; you should check it out.
6. If yes, what do you do?
Er, see above. Also, no idea what question 7 was meant to be. It was missing.
8. What type of music/movies/TV do you like?
I am a shameless fan of action movies, though I really don’t like it when they’re completely stupid. I like to check my cares at the door when I see a film, because I have a tendency to overthink things as it is. So action movies give me that escape. I tend to shy away from drama (I get very emotional if there’s realistic violence or senseless killing in the context of a realistic story). I also tend to feel that I don’t like comedies, though most of the time if you make me watch them, I like them fine. They’re just rarely my first choice. Similarly, I avoid romantic “comedies,” but like them if I watch them, whether they be very touching or engaging for other reasons (such as in Kate and Leopold, which no one can see as realistic). I don’t like slapstick at all, so don’t invite me to your 3 Stooges marathon.
Television tends to see me chasing after the Buffy and the X-Files type stuff, though I was without cable for a while and so have not yet seen Fringe. I liked Supernatural (is that still on?), and I am really peeved I’ve missed two seasons of True Blood. I’m playing catch up, from season one, of Battlestar Galactica. I also enjoy detective shows. I hesitate to start watching anything regularly, though, because I see myself as a curse — if I start watching things, they tend to get canceled. So I’ve missed a lot.
Music, well. . . I like alternative, but as I mentioned in a recent post, I can’t seem to absorb anymore who does what, and so I just listen to whatever comes on the alternative stations. I don’t like country, rap, or opera. I guess I’m fairly narrow minded on music. I don’t have time to worry about it. Coming from an ex-musicphile, this is saying something.
9. What are some of your hobbies?
Thinking too much. Doing a variety of artistic projects, from multi-media to painting to Photoshop to beading jewelry. Writing. Working too much on Rending the Veil. Blogging. Watching movies — lots of movies. Thinking too much. 
And occasionally, feeling too much.
This introduction is short, thankfully. I have things to do. Bye!

Supernatural is still on, but I haven’t followed it faithfully at all. It is good though.
I saw the end of the last season when they’d managed to break the final seal to open the gates of hell by killing Lilith. Don’t know what’s happened since then.
