My soul sings
I speak words
And syllables
Re-arrange my worlds.
And I am one with the stars!

There is always more to learn, understand, realize and do in this world. There is always more and more to become interested in within this world.

I am Guinevere Hempstead. I am also Jenny Johnson. And finally I am also Astartiel. One is my real name, one my poetry name, and one my online name. There are a million or more Jenny Johnsons in this world and as much as I love my name, it does get a bit old. Guinevere Hempstead, though is a pretty rare name. I choose the name because I almost was named Guinevere and it has always been my other name. Hempstead is a great grandmother's maiden name and I've always loved it.

The name Astartiel is part of the evolution of my online name. I wrote a poem once with the made up word "Astare" in it. Then I learned of the goddess Astarte. When I started going online on a regular basis around 1995, I choose Astarte as my username. But when I would go to New Age websites, I'd find that the name was not uncommon. So, I changed it to Astartae (which I found out later is literally plural for Astarte). Then that name also began to get use. SO, I thought about it and played around with my username until I came up with Astartiel a few years ago, and it's been that ever since.

Who am I? I am a poet, writer, singer, songwriter, photographer, fantasizer, wannabe filmmaker, computer geek, new ager, self helper, sister, daughter, mother, and friend - among other things. I am an artistic and creative individual. I enjoy poetry, photography and the performing arts. Tapping (EFT), Reiki, Reality Creation, Abraham, Seth, Numerology, Reincarnation, Crystals, Love, Poetry, Art, Nature, Family, these are what currently define me. I'm also lazy, messy and a bit of a mess. I tend to be a quiet person, shying away from crowds and excessive noise, seeking humor, pleasure and enjoyment in more one-on-one or solitary pursuits. I like most forms of music, many types of movies but mostly sci-fi, fantasy, action and humor, and mostly sci-fi, fantasy and new age books. I love mother nature but also technology, especially the old computer. I am good at computers, you could call me a "natural" at it. I am decent at photography and am getting better daily. I can do a tarot reading alright. I can write a poem, when the feeling hits me. I desire to find a finer way of living than the redundancy of most normal lives.

Also I do spend a bit of time reading books, listening and reading self-improvement stuff, and wasting time lost in thought. I also spend a fair amount of time lost on the internet. I've already said I write poetry and take photos (with my ex-Nikon Coolpix 4100 and my new Kodak EasyShare Z710), which I post on my personal website and deviantArt. And lately I fantasize way too much about having a romance between myself and an artistic, poetic, musical man with a cleft chin who likes to wear way too many pendants, go barefoot, speak out about issues and who has a weird name like Viggo...

I am very interested in finding film work as a production assistant, film director or other "entry level" position. If you find you want to give a girl like me a chance to change the odds of women making movies these days and help me try to do what I just might love, then please let me know by pressing the Contact Astartiel button to the left and writing down a few witty words to tempt me.

I'd also love to get paid for singing, songwriting, poetry writing, photography, research, numerology reports, editing or writing. If I can't make money off my talents and interests, then why have them at all?

PS - I recently worked as an extra in National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. ;-) Yay me! Look for the back of my head at the end of the movie when you watch it in the theater this winter!

Lady Earth

On the edge of a cliff runs a goddess
Who smiles at her world/herself
And dances through the air
As she learns, loves, and becomes herself
- Me, Jenny, Astartiel

My Online Presence:

Astartiel's Expressions - My personal website - which houses my biography, my goals, my resume, my favorites lists, some of my poetry, numerology reading stuff, reiki stuff, Jane Robert's quotes (Seth & Tweety's Little Book), Motivational Quotes, political viewpoint pages, and my "Love of Viggo" page (about a crush I have on some weird Danish-American artist guy). So, reader beware. You may find out more about me than you'd like! ;-)

Astartiel's Dream - This is where I have a few of my feeble attempts at singing my more musical poems. If you want to add me, then add my myspace music profile too. Thanks!

Astartiel's Talent Profile - I just made an account here so there isn't much to look at yet. Eventually I'll add photos, poetry, etc. Go check it out and make one for yourself while you are at it!

Astartiel's deviantArt - My photos and poetry - I've been scribbling words and taking artsy photos since I was a teenager. Now, thanks to the internet, I can subject the world to my odd viewpoint on it and everyone and thing within it.

Astartiel's Facebook - I'm just starting an account here, so if you have an account there too, I'd appreciate you adding me there too.

Astartiel's eBay Items - And I sometimes have something to sell at eBay.com, so go here and see if I'm selling anything else this week. And if you want to help me out, then bid on my items! =)
