Welcome to my page. My name is Janette and I hail from that sunshine place tucked in the southern hemisphere far away from the rest of the world: Sydney. I am australian, but not in the typical sense. I represent a small aspect of my multicultura​l society.

I am young at heart, full of zest, and a little wild. I was born in the Year of the Tiger (a fire tiger to be precise). It is no surprise that if I was an animal I would choose to be a tiger - fiery, vivacious & untamed!

I dance. I skip. I smile.

There is a fire that burns deeply inside me...it is the bright undying flame of Passion..

Me in three words: passionate, free-spirite​d libertine!!

I am the master of my fate; I am captain of my soul.

>Brazilia​n and Argentinian penpals as this is my destination NO.1. Yes, I'll be heading there early next year : )

>Love to learn French and Spanish and planning a visit to Europe during the summer of 09.

>Meet people from different backgrounds and different cultures from all over the world....

>Inspire the love inside your people, our people....no​ more hellfires and please no more gunfire

'Always With Me'

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to its blueness, as for the first time
Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painful woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you
When a mirror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my siletn, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
I've found a brightness, it's always with me.

This one is from V for Vendetta:
"V
* (Upon meeting Evey Hammond) Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian​ veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes​ of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction​, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
