Pleasuredome

Pleasuredome, well i'll leave you to work that one out.

Scarlet

I choose Scarlet because of Scarlet O'hara. She is a strong and vibrant woman. Also because the color Scarlet is a firery red to match my personality.

Valis

Just to make it easy...I have always loved the science fiction of Phillip K. Dick and Valis is probably one of my favorite books by him.

The first of Dick's three final novels (the others are Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer ). Known as science fiction only for lack of a better category, "Valis" takes place in our world and may even be semi-autobiographical. It is a fool's search for God, who turns out to be a virus, a joke, and a mental hologram transmitted from an orbiting satellite.

The proponent of the novel, Horselover Fat, is thrust into a theological quest when he receives communion in a burst of pink laser light. From the cancer ward of a bay area hospital to the ranch of a fraudulent charismatic religious figure who turns out to have a direct com link with God, Dick leads us down the twisted paths of Gnostic belief, mixed with his own bizarre and compelling philosophy. Truly an eye opening look at the nature of consciousness and divinity.

Book Description
VALIS, the disorienting and eeerily funny centerpiece of Dick's final trilogy, is part science fiction, part theological detective story, in which God is both missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime.

VALIS (acronym of Vast Active Living Intelligence System,
from an American film): A perturbation in the reality field
in which a spontaneous self-monitoring negentropic vortex is
formed, tending progressively to subsume and incorporate its
environment into arrangements of information. Characterized
by quasi-consciousness, purpose, intelligence, growth and an
armillary coherence.

Mac

"mac"............It's short, it's simple (much like myself) and it's easy to spell !

I didn't choose it, it's been tossed at me for as long as I can remember

mac, of the McMillan class

els

els is short for Elsie, but it's kinda symbolic for me. All the JWs when I was growing up called me Ellie which I HATED. My friends in school started calling me els and I liked it so it stuck. Also when I used to get into it with my mother she would say , do such and such "or else" and if I was feeling mouthy I would say "or else what?" Somehow being called els became symbolic of not being told what to do. els
