aka "What the hell has got to a person's head to build this site?"
I'll just take one of those quizzes people love to send via e-mail (and I love to take them, as I'm quite egocentric) and use it to answer some questions about me, so that visitors at Revolution may have an idea of what kind of insane mind writes things in the site. By the way, since I'm a bit mutable myself, I believe this list will be changing with time...
Name: Marina. Ok, ok, though I love when people think my real name is Lyre, I decided to tell them the true one.
Nicknames: Uhn... There's a hundred names apart from the original, but none of them has ever been truly spread, no I can't say I've got nicknames.

Janeiro's Federal University, take art classes, spend daily
hours writing and piss a lot of people off.

Friday!

What a stupid question... World's most obvious answer aside, I'll say some: Shoujo Kakumei
Utena, Card Captor Sakura, Cowboy Beebop, Excel Saga (RUUUULEZ!), X, Dragon Ball (no letters
attached), Photon, Shin-chan and Hamtaro (oh, come on, people, Hamtaro's great...), plus a hundred
cartoons I've forgotten.

A subject: Philosophy!
Series: "El Chavo del Ocho" (I have no idea whether it was broadcasted outside South America, so I just put the original name), "Friends" (what a
cliche!), "Will and Grace", "That 70s Show", "Seinfeld", "Wonder Years" and "Sex in the City".
A song: Millions, but I'll say the first one that comes to my mind: "Let it be", by the Beatles.
A dream: Work as a cartoonist/script writer in Japan.
Motto: Actually, two: "When in doubt, f*** it!" (hey, it was who Lennon said that!), and "Be wild".
*Weren's cave map*
1- Hair under constant mutation state (look carefully, they may be in a different color or size tomorrow...)
2- Computer's constantly turned on (blessed be cable internet!), and... oh, what a surprise! Frontpage's running editing of this site's html files!
3- First symptom of the ogre’s obsession-compulsion: a completely useless clock (since there are other 4 clocks and watches over the cave), which makes a damn noise, with the picture of a *little* suspect saint; notice that, just beside that, there’s a miniposter behind the junk thingies, with more pictures of a famous anime
4- Second symptom: a giant poster of the ogre’s favorite band. Note: luckily, the ogre’s brother took a picture of the most untidy side of the cave, but not the most scandalous part: on the opposite wall there are other two posters with the four hairy guys and a huge third one, with more pics of the zodiac victims
5- Documents required for taking a driver’s license, which will likely rot until the ogre remembers to do anything with it
6- Two paper sheets *full* of drawings to be done, ordered by the ogre’s consultant and best friend (notice that, beside number two, there are more post-its with to-do topics)
7- A notebook with enough space for writing down all crazy things that comes to the ogre’s mind and, of course, pending jobs and site details
8- A paradisiacal landscape stamped mousepad, ogre’s consolation when he looks in the mirror and finds out his scales are the same color as the wallpaper’s, and when studying must replace leisure (which happen too rarely, actually)
9- An example of how the ogre is careful with its own stuff: the lightdesk its father made himself is lying in a extremely dangerous position!
10- Wallpaper, fading and sticking out
11- Paper, paper, paper... (ever heard of that story about how 40% of the world’s garbage is made of paper? Yeah, half of it comes from here!)
12- Again, we can’t see well because of the photo, but here we would see the ogre’s performing one his favorite activities: torturing his spine, remaining on bizarre positions for hours in front of a computer
13- If one day you fell like missing a pen in your house, just knock at the ogre’s cave!
And the worse is coming soon........... Nothing escapes Lyre's freaking tastes!
