a l i z a r i n R E D the red light district |

Thursday, 26 July 2007
Ok, let’s just say karma dealt me a huge kick in the behind. All my years of scheming and stalking and…never mind. ANYWAY. Welcome to my new blog. Why alizarin red? Because I’ve always loved that particular shade of red. First tube of oil paint I bought was alizarin crimson. It wasn’t what my art teacher recommended I buy because it’s a darker shade of red but the store ran out of cadmium so most of my paintings came out a bit darker and gloomier than my classmates’--Hello weirdo! ;) Why the red light district? Because anything goes. And I had to think of a catchy title. Hey it got your attention, perv. Anyway. I didn’t create this blog with a particular theme in mind. This will be the new virtual playground of my 20 something multiple personalities—each born a day or two after all my 20 something birthdays. I grow a little crazier every time the clock strikes midnight to welcome the 8th of February. I don’t know…maybe it has something to do with desperation? Fear of aging? The last birthday saw the birth of the nastiest beelzebubs ever—tweedledumb and tweedledumber. Lately, they’re the most dominant of all my imaginary friends. I have an unusually large head for someone my height. People offer politely that it could be because I'm so smart (ahem) but it’s really just so I'd have a ton of extra space to accommodate all the alter egos. They tend to be screamers so the extra space helps. Okay enough with the rambling. Bottom line is…I just need a clean slate. I’ve had quite the emo baggage the past few years--which is why I ended up becoming quite the whiner. If it came down to it, I'd whine and rant and complain to save the world. So...time for me to leave all that behind. I guess this is me starting over. Hello bright and shiny new me. Say it with just the right amount of enthusiasm and people might actually start believing you. Yeowza! And, really, the timing's just perfect. Because if anything, I'm in limbo at the moment. I have no career or work-related worries because I recently bid the dragon lady 'good riddance and up yours' (just kidding...I just bid her 'goodbye'), I just came back from my teenage asylum--my ultimate comfort zone, hung out with one of my bestestest friends in the universe, the frown lines have disappeared (for now), I'm single, I'm not totally uninspired because oddly enough, there is that sense of feeling I've done something productive the past two months, and, hmmm...well I think that's just about it. Oh and I've gone and signed up for that life coaching thing (it starts tomorrow) so the next three months will see a lot of tough get-your-ass-into-shape love. ANYTHING can happen. And I can't wait. ;) Ciao for now! Labels: first entry
