early christmas wishes, bittersweet

from another great diva:

Who is Makropoulos?

Some people have know me as Emilia Marti, some Ellian MacGregor, some Eugenia Montez, others Elsa Muller or Ekaterina Myshkina. These were all the names given to me in that play by that Czech named Čapek. But my real name is Elina Makropoulos, born in Crete in 1585. I was used as a guinea pig for an eternal youth potion, and as a result, I have been burdened with living in a timeless state of beautiful youth.

Haven't aged yet; haven't died yet. Just keep living this life, and watching the generations go by.

Makropoulos
