About Eros:
Name: Eros
Age: several millennia, has never taken the time to count, always so busy
Gender: Male
History: Edith Hamilton says this about Eros: “He is oftenest a beautiful, serious youth who gives good gifts to men.” She also attributes Plato as saying, “Love—Eros—makes his home in men’s hearts, but not in every heart, for where there is hardness, he departs. His greatest glory is that he cannot do wrong nor allow it; force never comes near him. For all men serve him of their own free will. And he whom Love touches not walks in darkness.”

Son of Aphrodite, Eros has long been considered the god of Love and is well known for his archery skills (besting Apollo, even; but don’t bring that up unless you want Apollo to start crying and hugging his wreath) and the effects of his arrows. After running from Psyche the night she discovered his identity, he mourned their relationship for centuries, locked up in his palace chamber. However, he realized that she was only tricked and resolved to return to her. But by that time, it was already too late. The Gods had transformed her into an owl, fated to wander for the rest of her life, searching vainly for her husband. To his sorrow, the owl form died, and Psyche’s soul went to Hades. With great work, Eros has obtained his beloved’s soul and plans to restore her to a proper body. But what price did he have to pay in order to rescue her? And what price will Shiri have to pay for love of him?

Family
There are kind of a lot of us....

Istra and Lerato-The misplaced Salvager hippies who are the co-heads of the Pangari family, they have a tendency to take in strays and offer non sequitur wisodm. It's easy to see where Shiri's mental functions come from.

Mary Jane-Eldest Pangari daughter, and first to be adopted. Though snippy, snooty, and a bit of a smart a**, she's also very smart and financially savvy. She's in charge of selling the "junk" her parents find.

Celie-Second oldest, but adopted after Shiri's birth, Celie is Mary Jane's plump shadow. Painfully insecure and not the brightest tool in the crayon box (and belonging in the house as much as any of those do in the context), she adores her older sister, doing her bidding whenever Mary Jane asks. As a general rule, both sisters look upon Shiri with, at worst, outright hate, and, at best, indifferent contempt.

I think I have some, somewhere....

Playlist of Love

You Found Me Kelly Clarkson
Is this a dream? If it is, please don't wake me from this high. I'd become comfortably numb until you opened up my eyes to what it's like when everything's right. I can't believe. You found me when no one else was looking. How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion, the ups and the downs, and you still didn't leave. I guess that you saw what nobody could see. You found me. You found me. So here we are and that's pretty far, when you think of where we've been. No going back, I'm fading out all that has faded me within. You're by my side; now everything's fine. I can't believe. You found me, when no one else was looking. How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion, the ups and the downs, and you still didn't leave. I guess that you saw what nobody could see. You found me. You found me. And I was hiding, till you came along and showed me where I belong. You found me when no one else was looking. How did you know, how did you know? You found me when no one else was looking. How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion, the ups and the downs, and you still didn't leave. I guess that you saw what nobody could see. You found me. You found me. (When no one else was lookin') You found me. (How did you know just where I would be) You broke through all of my confusion, the ups and the downs and you still didn't leave. I guess that you saw what nobody could see, the good and the bad and the things in between. You found me. You found me.

All Around Me Flyleaf
My hands are searching for you. My arms are outstretched towards you. I feel you on my fingertips. My tongue dances behind my lips for you. This fire runs in through my being, burning, I'm not used to seeing you. I'm alive, I'm alive. I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing, holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing. My hands float up above me, and you whisper you love me, and I begin to fade into our secret place. The music makes me sway. The angels singing say we are alone with you. I am alone and they are too with you. I'm alive, I'm alive. I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing, holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing. And so I cry. The light is white. And I see you. I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive. I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing, holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing. Take my hand, I give it to you. Now you own me, all I am. You said you would never leave me; I believe you, I believe....I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing, holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healed
My Dream DHT
In my dream theres a place without war. No more guns, no more pain no more hurt. Tt's a world full of joy without sadness.People sing, people dance with all happiness. Take me to my dream. Love is everything. Where there is no war and the children sing. Love is all around, it's the only thing in a dream that must come true. In my dream theres a place were it's clean. No more waste in the air and the sea. So there's place will be pure and all healthy. You can live your life in heaven. But I know it's just a dream. Will it ever change this life? Hope one day it will turn around, into the place that I dream about. Take me to this dream. Love is everything. Where there is no war and the children sing. Love is all around, it's the only thing in a dream that must come true. In a dream that must come true.
The Mystic's Dream Loreena McKennit
A clouded dream on an earthly night hangs upon the crescent moon. A voiceless song in an ageless light sings at the coming dawn. Birds in flight are calling there where the heart moves the stones. It's there that my heart is longing for, all for the love of you. A painting hangs on an ivy wall nestled in the emerald moss the eyes declare a truce of trust and then it draws me far away. Deep in the desert twilight sand melts in pools of the sky. When darkness lays her crimson cloak your lamps will call, call me home. And so it's there my homage's due clutched by the still of the night and now I feel you move and every breath is full. So it's there my homage's due clutched by the still of the night. Even the distance feels so near all for the love of you.
Love Song 311
Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am whole again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am young again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am fun again. How ever far away, I will always love you. How ever long I stay, I will always love you. Whatever words I say, I will always love you. I will always love you. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am free again. Whenever I'm alone with you. You make me feel like I am clean again. How ever far away, I will always love you. How ever long I stay, I will always love you. Whatever words I say, I will always love you. I will always love you.
Over the Rainbow Celtic Woman
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me, where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow....Why then oh why can't I? Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Spanish Doll Poe
This place feels so unfamiliar, and yet I know it well. I think I used to belong here, but the only way I can tell is that I miss you still and I cannot find you here. You left me tattered and torn just like that sweet Spanish doll. (Sweet Spanish, Sweet Spanish) Doll. I went down to the alley way (Sierra la Bonita) [beautiful mountains] and found that you were gone. (Si nunca te fueras) [if you never were yourself] You left no word no message; I still don't know exactly what went wrong. (Lacrima) [tear] But now no matter where I go, I always seem to return (Búsca me) [look for me] to where you left me tattered and torn (Estoy rompido mi muñeca) [My doll is broken], just like that sweet spanish doll. (Sweet Spanish, sweet Spanish doll) A memory gilded in red and gold (Del Oro) [of gold], beauty guarded and never sold (Cuída me) [take care of me], I keep it with me wherever I go. And I love you still (Requérda me) [remember me], no matter how a story will unfold, you know I always will (Esta conmigo) [he is with me] have part of you here in this souvenir (Spanish doll). A stranger in this world without you is all that I can ever be. All I know that's pure and clear, you left it with me here in this souvenir (Spanish, Spanish, Spanish... doll.) Father: We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight, (Sweet Spanish, sweet) unaware yet how her life will be affected by this (Blue skies ahead) experience. (Sweet, sweet) Daughter: Mommy, why how come you cry? (Spanish doll) Father: While what was really happening (really happening) in the years of her childhood (Sweet spanish, sweet) Perhaps that's where the real story is--in her family house. (family house) Daughter: How come it's a house of leaves? (Sweet spanish, sweet spanish) How come it's a house of leaves?
"The Dream" Leaves Eyes
Where do you sleep? What do you dream? What do you need to be free? I see a little island, where ebb and flow meet. We curl up by the fire, your breath in my ear. We've found our paradise where fruits and flowers grow. The ocean's ground is white, reflects the moonlight that glows. I cover you warm. Fall asleep upon my chest. I protect you from harm. And I will quench your thirst. When do we meet? Our love proceeds when you are here. I am real too. Aah Aah. You're my queen. You're my angel. You're the love I breathe to live. You're my star. You're my leading light. You're my beauty I see at night. You're my queen. You're my angel. You're the dream I breathe to live. Where do you sleep? What do you dream?
All That I Am Rob Thomas
I am the one winged bird for flying sinking quickly to the ground. See your faith in me subsiding, see you prime for giving in. I give you all that I am. I am the sound of love's arriving echoed softly on the sand. Lay your head upon my shoulder, lay your hand within my hand. I give you all that I am. And I breathe where you breathe. Let me stand where you stand...with all that I am. I am the white dove for a soldier ever marching as to war. I would give my life to save you; I stand guarding at your door. I give you all that I am. I am the one winged bird for flying sinking quickly to the ground. I'm a blind man for a watchdog; I am prime for giving in. I'll show you all that I am. And I breathe so you breathe. Let me stand so you'll stand...with all that I am.
Serene Dream kidneythieves
Serene dream: soft easy winter watering the dry spots on the day, water leaves of gray. Serene dream: spend nowhere with me.... Isn't far to nowhere. Rise and feel the bomb of fountains land. Close your eyes in front of nowhere. Language of no words. Spend nowhere with me. Serene dream, free of thirst and pain. Heavy turns to cake. Serene dream: Where the ethers speak. It's a tall day. Spend nowhere with me.
I'll Be Edwin McCain
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me and steal my breath. And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky never revealing their depth. Tell me that we belong together. Dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above. I'll be your cryin' shoulder. I'll be love's suicide. I'll be better when I'm older. I'll be the greatest fan of your life. And rain falls angry on the tin roof as we lie awake in my bed. You're my survival, you're my living proof my love is alive and not dead. Tell me that we belong together. Dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above. I'll be your cryin' shoulder. I'll be love's suicide. I'll be better when I'm older. I'll be the greatest fan of your life. And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I fought my way back from the dead. I've tuned in, I've turned on, remembered the things that you said. I'll be your cryin' shoulder. I'll be love's suicide. I'll be better when I'm older. I'll be the greatest fan of your--I'll be your cryin' shoulder. I'll be love's suicide. I'll be better when I'm older. I'll be the greatest fan of your life. The greatest fan of your whole life.
Scarborough Fair Celtic Woman
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there; He once was a true love of mine. Tell him to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, without no seams nor needle work. Then he'll be a true love of mine. Tell him to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, between salt water and the sea strands. Then he'll be a true love of mine. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there; He once was a true love of mine.
Mourning Tree Leaves' Eyes
So far away, but still so close, so many days I've had to count. The meaning of life comes true when I'm with you, for in me there's a flower growing. Tell him through the winds I am here, whisper through the breeze not to fear. Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me. Reach out for the winds that we share, then you will feel I am near. Taste it by the snow I am here where you left me. I talk to the mourning tree. The long way home is never too far unless you've reached the end of life. My deepest wish comes true when I'm with you, for in me there's a miracle growing. Tell him through the winds I am here, whisper through the breeze not to fear. Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me. Reach out for the winds that we share, then you will feel I am near. Taste it by the snow I am here where you left me. I talk to the mourning tree.
Forgiven Within Temptation
Couldn't save you from the start. Love you so it hurts my soul. Can you forgive me for trying again? Your silence makes me hold my breath. Time has passed you by. Oh, for so long, I've tried to shield you from the world. Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own. Here I am, left in silence. You gave up the fight. You left me behind. All that's done's forgiven. You'll always be mine. I know deep inside: All that's done's forgiven. I watched the clouds drifting away, still the sun can't warm my face. I know it was destined to go wrong. You were looking for the great escape to chase your demons away. Oh, for so long, I've tried to shield you from the world. Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own. Here I am, left in silence. You gave up the fight. You left me behind. All that's done's forgiven. You'll always be mine. I know deep inside. All that's done's forgiven. I've been so lost since you've gone. Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me? Everything turned out so wrong. Why did you leave me in silence? You gave up the fight. You left me behind. All that's done's forgiven. You'll always be mine. I know deep inside: All that's done's forgiven.
"In This Life" Delta Goodrem
I was nurtured, I was sheltered, I was curious and young. I was searchin' for that something, tryin' to find it on the run. Oh and just when I stopped lookin' I saw just how far I'd come, in this liiiiife, in this liiiiife. You give me love. You give me light. Show me every thing's been happenin'. I've opened up my eyes.

"Slow Like Honey" Fiona Apple
You moved like honey, in my dream last night. Yeah, some old fires were burning. You came near to me, and you endeared to me, but you couldn't quite discern me. Does that scare you? I'll let you run away. But your heart will not oblige you. You'll remember me like a melody. Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you. And my big secret, gonna win you over. Slow like honey, heavy with mood. I'll let you see me. I'll covet your regard. I'll invade your demeanor. And you'll yield to me, like a scent in the breeze, and you'll wonder, what it is about me? It's my big secret, keeping you coming, slow like honey, heavy with mood. Ah... Though dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts, they serve for sweet relieving, when fantasy, and reality, lie, too far, apart. So I stretch myself across like a bridge, and I pull you to the edge. And stand there waiting, trying to attain the end to satisfy the story. Shall I release you? Must I release you, as I rise to meet my glory? But my big secret: gonna hover over your life, gonna keep you reaching, when I'm gone like yesterday, when I'm high like heaven, when I'm strong like music, 'cause I'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood....
