My name is Michelle. I am 34, wife and mother of two. I am a writer, an artist and a photographer. To help keep my sanity I enjoy trying to be an actor and director. I have the honor and pleasure of working at a wonderful 3/4 round, black box theater called The Empty Space as the Director of Marketing. I am a oddly emotional person, by this I mean I will feel deeply for others but I bury my own emotions as deep as possible. I love movies, my favorites are horror, kung fu, independant and action flicks. I'm crazy jealous. I consider myself a fairly funny person. I have a terrible temper. I'm fiercely protective of the people I love as well as others that have no one to stand up for them. I'm a little insane. I have OCD. I don't trust many people. I'm equally generous and selfish. I'm not scared to fight if I have to, be it a physical fight, a mental fight or emotional fight (although it is very hard for me to express my feelings. Don't ask, I did mention I was insane didn't I?) I learned this year that I love to run. I have awful insecurities, but who doesn't? I'm socially awkward, as most people I know are. And there are a multitude of others things I could tell you about myself, but I feel as if I am rambling. I don't want you to get bored, so I will move on.
Well, today marks the start of my foray into the wonderful world of the blog. First, thank you for reading, even if it is just my mom or if you only read this far...
Still with me?
Fantastic.
The only problem now is I have no idea how to continue this first blog of mine. What do most people blog about? The blogs I have read have been about food or someone ranting about some injustice in the world. I'm sure at one time or another I will rant and rail about injustice and/or food, but not tonight.
Tonight I will wrap up this first blog with a promise.
You should know that I rarely make promises as I don't want to say I will do something and not follow through, resulting in letting someone else and myself down.
I promise that I will continue to blog. Some will be silly. Some will be serious. Many will probably reveal more about me than anyone may ever care to know. And although this blog may never be read I will still contribute to it as often as I can. Because one of the many things I have learned about myself this past year is that I have to write. It has become necessary to my happiness and this upcoming year I'm making a vow to work on my happiness. This last year has been pretty shitty, though it was shiny at times it was mostly shit and I am going to get rid of as much shit as possible.
I hope a couple people will decide to read along and join me on this journey of soul searching and crap dispensing. It should be a fun trip.
love, sunshine and happy thoughts
