My real name is Juli.  How I got the name "Venus" is a little silly, but basically my husband and I shared an email account where our ID was "freaks".  Later when we upgraded to an account that allowed two users, he became "Mars Freak" and I became "Venus Freak" (Get it? Mars and Venus from the book).  Anyway, I was on several local newsgroups and became known as Venus Freak or just plain Venus.  It has just stuck since then.  Now years later only the police and my mom call me Juli. I even had it tattooed to my arm. See my tats here. YES IT HURTS!

I live in a small Michigan town that is home to the Fry Crisp Batter Mix company, the world's largest walled prison, and the birthplace of the Republican party (not very proud of that).  I have two beautiful daughters that are my life.

I LOVE dark chocolate, red roses and making all the green lights (...sometimes they're yellow). In my spare time . . . well, I have no spare time.  But if I did I would read, sew, cook fancy meals, lay around, and manicure my nails.

I am a Celtic Pagan.  Before you gasp in horror, let me clear up a few myths.  We do not sacrifice animals, in fact we have a strong respect for life no matter how small. We do not worship satan because we don't believe this entity exists.  Pagan is very similar to Buddhist and American Indian beliefs.  Actually, we have a few Buddhists and Shaman that attend our gatherings.  Read about "Being A Witch".  I am active with several charities in my community.

I ponder such things like, why the existence of reptiles? Why is there handicap parking at my gym? and why do I drive around looking for the closest parking spot?

The things I DISLIKE the most are marshmallow peeps, snakes, mean people and whiners.

I live by the way of Bitchology.  If you are not familiar with it then read about it here. Bitchology
