It's how I feel in the world. I never quite fit anywhere, even when I am accepted.

A pun on "mind's eye". It was the name of my failed Etsy shop :( where I was trying to sell my photography, jewelry and knitting to make enough money to continue doing photography, jewelry and knitting.


I'm sorry your shop didn't work out. :( It sounds like it would have been nice. I love photography, and I like looking at jewelry though I don't wear much.


My username is just the beginning of my name: Cassondra, with tranquility, as I want to be peaceful and I believe in peace. I've been using it for at least ten years on a variety of different forums.

Strategic
Homeland
Intervention
Enforcement
Logistics
Division

The acronym has changed twice (once in 1991 and once again for the Marvel movie-verse) since the organization was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Strange Tails #135 in 1965. Run by Nick Fury, Maria Hill and even Tony Stark -S.H.E.I.L.D became H.A.M.M.E.R under the watch of Norman Osborn during the Dark Reign.

I like Marvel comics...

From the anime/manga series Revolutionary Girl Utena. I've always admired the main character Utena. I want to be like her when I grow up,which is weird, because I'm 24 and she's supposed to be 14 :lol:
