First off, I will put to rest a question you're probably really bubbling with. WHY The 'G' necklace? Well, I wanted something that symbolized ME. Something that was near me all the time. And I wear that necklace everyday; it is one of my most prized posessions. Therefore, I felt nothing more fitting to represent myself. Plus, it's just a 'G' and a little Mickey Mouse head from Disneyland missing the rhinestones (no matter how many times I get a new one, they fall out!! >=(). It's JUST me. It's kind of a form of freedom to me. I LOVE Disneyland. Better? All right, I'll tell you a little bit more; starting with my inspiration to begin this thing. Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ginger. That'd be me. I was in a weird Ginger mood one day, and all of a sudden wanted to 'help' people. I started by posting my self-tutorials but was later inspired when I came across a few online journals to make my own. Revealing, intuitive, anonymous... I was amazed. But it is nice to have a face to go w/emotions, and I HAD to show you Alice. (She is my trusty fuzzy confidant, on the right. I'm the kook on the left.) If you recognize me, hi! Here is my journal. Where I open my heart and all let the livid bile or sappy romanticisms spill out into the open. Don't be TOO scared now... these are just my thoughts - I by NO means expect you to agree or understand them. I certainly don't.
Life for me has been a whirlwind of disorientation. Mind you, good AND bad. As I stand as a full fledged adult, 21 and growing, I have suffered the loss of a parent (I lost my dad when I was 14 to a brain disease I cannot pronounce), battled with accute depression (I assure you, there was nothing cute about it; my dads disease was hard for the 9-year-old Ginger to handle for 5 years, and eventually took it's toll), wrestled with a rare disorder (trichotillomania, ever heard of it? That's why it's rare...), dropped out of high school and STILL have overcome all the barriers that could have stood in my way. I prosper as a genuinely happy person with just as many problems and everyday issues as most people my age - or, any age! - are dealt with. I love life and I'm simply paying my monthly dues at being human. Oh, and I LOVE playing my guitar and writing songs, it's a deep rooted passion for me. So there's a short and sweet overview of me. For more, as so many other journalers put it - the real story's in the journal. Ick... now you've made me feel so self indulgent. That's it for now. This page will change in a while, but I needed something here before I drove myself crasy.
YES, craSy.
