I hate talking about me myself, so this is mostly just me talking about my interests... Which I figure is important to my edits on Wikipedia in the sense that my background and where my interests lie affect my point of view.

I absolutely love the painting (maybe because I was born year of the Snake?), and can't help but feel sorry for her for getting such a negative view in history...I don't know, I just sympathize with her.

Best depiction of a Valkyrie, period.
