Im Emma, AKA Kallisti. Why Kallisti I hear you say... well...It was a name given to me when I was 15, which supposedly described my character, so here is a small history lesson for you:

καλλίστῃ, "kallistē(i)", was inscribed on the Golden Apple of Discord by Eris, meaning "for the fairest" or "to the most beautiful" in ancient Greek. The word Kallisti has become a principal symbol of Discordianism, a modern religion.

Discordianism is a modern religion centered on the idea that chaos is as important as order. It was founded circa 1958–1959 by Malaclypse the Younger with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia.

If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe.
—Kerry Thornley, The introduction to the Principia Discordia 5th Ed.

The very idea of a Discordian organization is something of a paradox. Nevertheless, some structure is indicated in Principia Discordia. The most general group, presumably including all Discordians (and potentially others), is The Discordian Society, whose definition is “The Discordian Society has no definition”.^[13] Within the society are sects of Discordianism, each under the direction of an “Episkopos” (overseer in Greek, source of English bishop and episcopal).

Discordians who do not form their own sects, whether they belong to someone else's sect or not, make up the Legion of Dynamic Discord, and may be referred to as Legionnaires. Would-be Discordians are told in the Principia Discordia:

If you want in on the Discordian Society
then declare yourself what you wish
do what you like
and tell us about it
or
if you prefer
don't.

There are no rules anywhere.
The Goddess Prevails.
—Malaclypse the Younger, Principia Discordia, Page 00032

So Basically I must have come across as being a bit eccentric and living by my own rules...

And thats how I like to play...

Me and the Girl in the Mirror...

Today has been a good day, not too much food, not too much hassle... and prospect of a job too!! whoop! Ive got an interview tommorow for an events company, so lots of gigs and nights out there! yey!!

Have finally managed to plan out my hair too, have started with my usual blonde streak, but have now made plans for my extensions in my purple (base colour) with blondes, blues, and maybe some pinks too... but Im not sure about that. Maybe even some teal instead of the pink..

Take Care, Emma xx
