A new facade.

I used to have another blog. You can see it here.

Needless to say, this blog has been abandoned. I began it when I was a freshman in college, in December, when I felt that I was not being seen. This has been a common emotion in my life, and I believe it is why so many people blog: everyone wants to be seen.

This past year has been incredibly tumultuous, and at this point I feel that I need a fresh start. I intend for 2007 to be a new beginning; it is probable that everything weighing on me will be finished by the year's end. I've already cleared a number of these from my psyche, now I'm waiting for several more shoes to drop.

I miss blogging. The ability to write for no one in particular (or, at times, a particular few) and the ability to be seen. So I am creating a new blog, a new start. I will keep the old blog open, and linked to this site, because I have intense difficulty releasing my past and I am always curious to revisit past versions of myself. Perhaps you will share that curiosity.

Currently, in my life, I am applying to Ph.D. programs in art history. I recently ended a long-term relationship. I am awaiting the death of a loved one. I am graduating from the University of Florida in May. I will be writing on these things, it is likely, but odds are this blog will become similar to the last: posts on culture, on Broadway, on artistic things that catch my interest.

I'll try not to let this blog unravel. Writing is therapy, for me, and I certainly need therapy right now.

So I invite you all to sit back, and peer at my various facades, and have fun figuring out the woman (or women) within.
