Who is who?

Ah, much like that old pre-Columbian image of the snake eating it's own tail to signify the beginning and end of the world, I see. Very original. And most DEFINITLY cute and fuzzy! :p
 
The Ouroboros, also spelled Ourorboros, Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus (pronounced /ˌjʊəroʊˈbɒrəs/), is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, unity, or infinity. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations. More recently, it has been interpreted by psychologists, such as Carl Jung, as having an archetypical significance to the human psyche.

The name ouroboros (or, in Latinized form, uroborus) is Greek ουροβóρος, "tail-devourer". The depiction of the serpent is believed to have been inspired by the Milky Way, as some ancient texts refer to a serpent of light residing in the heavens.

Hi. I'm me. ;)

I am still looking forward to attending some Alliance Chicago events when the Navy moves me and the hubby to Great Lakes this year. I'll probably be playing characters based from Alliance NJ though, since I used to live in Pennsylvania and my three PC's are from HQ and NJ with silly-deep plots and other baggage. Still trying to convince the husband that LARPing is not scary - and thusly convince him to come to an event or two with me.
