Description Bastet was the goddess of fire, cats, of the home and pregnant women. According to one myth, she was the personification of the soul of Isis. She was also called the "Lady of the East". As such, her counterpart as "Lady of the West" was Sekhmet.
Bastet seemed to have two sides to her personality, docile and aggressive. Her docile and gentle side was displayed in her duties as a protector of the home, and pregnant women. Her aggressive and vicious nature was exposed in the accounts of battles in which the pharaoh was said to have slaughtered the enemy as Bastet slaughtered her victims.

well half German...the rest is a mixture of Native American, English, Irish, and maybe even Romanian(my grandfather on my mother's side was adopted and we don't have a clue where he came from. He looked Romanian to me.)

Yay for mutts!

I think you LIKE the nudity and you're just pretending not to for society's sake.... *shifty eyes*

im totally fine with nudity, theres nothing wrong with it.
i just dont feel like having my gallery be filled with pics of naked girls for my friends and family members to see.
nudity isnt the problem, its the people i know.

...That's true. It'd be kinda awkward if your mom logged on and was all, "Hmm, there seem to be quite a few boobs on Sammie's website. We'd better have "the talk" again."

Te amo.

actually, to tell you the truth, i barely used my tablet at all on this pic i've gotten so used to using my mouse, that i cant help but use it still. however, the tablet is great for little detils. i mainly use it for clothes

ourasouy In reply to Nine-Tailed-Fox [2007-01-18 20:20:02 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe, I never, ever use a mouse...I don't even know where my mouse is!
I just need that little bit more accuracy, y'know?
Speshally for skin and junk. Skinsh with no tablet for me = BAD. Looks like a pumpkin that got beaten by a fork. A rusty fork. BENT.
