Some New-Old Friends

It's odd, how you can see some one and speak with them on a weekly basis, and yet still not know anything about them.

I go to an online academy, so often times you end up chatting with people that you'd never become friends with, never even consider talking to in real life.  It's an amazing world out there, filled with potential, and if you give people time, you'll rarely be disappointed.  And even if you are...what's so bad about that?  Not everybody is friend material, and that's alright.

Today I opened up to some girls in my class, via email.  I told them my hobbies and age, and suddenly, they came alive.  Girls who I have no hope of meeting irl, whose faces are smudges of paint unused and barely remembered in my mind, suddenly comfortable around each other.

One loves crocodiles, another is an avid Sherlock fan.  One knows four languages.  One has a father in the military (that's me, actually)

Who did you meet today?

Me

(My attempt at an intro)

It’s difficult to be honest when writing about myself, but I’ll do my best.  I am a writer and a blogger, obviously.  I’ve been at it for years; my blogging career has seen me grow from a tiny eleven year old to the girl I am now.  Hair like carmel, flopped to one side, small hands with half-chipped nail polish and acrylic paint in the creases, eyes that only look pretty with the best of lighting.  Still, I think that in my own, unique way, I am beautiful, despite my lack of perfect cheek bones and my many faults.

I love meeting new people, but struggle with the ‘meeting’ bit, because it requires I leave the house and actually attend potentially embarrassing social events.  My art is my passion, but I have a tendency to toss aside all responsibilities to follow that passion.  I get emotional easily.  I struggle with my self-worth.  I stutter when I speak.

However, I am not Mexican and my stutter is not Trump’s wall.  That’s who I feel about most of my vices, really.  I have too much to say to allow a little bit of tripping over my own words to stop me anyway.

And I better cut this off before I really do speak too much.  Who did you meet today?

The Purpose of this Blog

To be honest.

Not scathing.  Not rude.  Just...honest.

Honest with myself, mostly, over who I really am, and who I talk to everyday and interact with without even thinking about it, but also honest with others, of how I'd describe them if I wanted to.

I'm still figuring it out, so if you come back to this post with confusion and the words, "That's not what it's like now!" on your electronic lips, I'm not surprised.  It's a bit like a travel blog, I suppose, but without the real traveling.  A life style blog?  No, not really...I'm going to try to avoid talking about myself and my actual life.  Maybe there isn't anything like this blog, and that's why I can't seem to find the right words to describe it.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy my writing.  I'll post something real soon, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Note:  yes, this blog was built on top of one of my older blogs, because I didn't want to delete it but I also didn't want it just hanging around and doing nothing of interest.  Feel free to read all of my old dorkiness :)

Hi Guys! (Important News)

Ok so
I've decided to rework this blog into something totally different!  I originally really liked the idea of Two Cats Too Many, but I just....ran out of ideas.  It's not really my thing, and it doesn't match up with my blogging style anymore.  So I'm going to try something new!

That's the nice thing about having a blog like this, one that the grand majority of my normal readers don't know about...I can actually experiment and try new things and that sort of stuff.  So...yeah.  Expect some major changes, and some of my old posts might disappear (I will most likely try and keep most of them though, if only to please my mother, who insists that they are good and must stay.  See, I do love you, mother :D )

Bye, and I hope you like the updated version!
