the other side of D...my life in private

My best efforts at an introduction

I've never really maintained a blog for too long.
I had a livejournal at the beginning of college that I wrote in periodically when I was bored, had a lame quiz result to post [If I was a kind of cheese I would be...Gouda], or had done a new drug and wanted to rant about it.
Either way, I never really wrote in an outlet where it was for me.
It was always so other people could read it, or if I did post something personal and insightful it was usually after I had proofed and edited it so much that it became about other people.
Regardless, I am trying to do something different here.
Many people know me as Donna, the loud, outgoing, fun, crazy, often overly logical, boy crazy, pothead, etc. chick that is always fun, never dull, and always blunt.
This my outlet to offer the other side of this woman- a side that anyone who knows how into being a Gemini I am- is the other twin.
I have a very private side that I don't share. Insecurities that only those who know me well know I have. It's strange that someone as open with herself as I am has entire layer that people don't see.
I am addicted to music and film and television and pop-culture. I knit and write songs, play guitar and belt out showtunes. I work in publicity and know everything about celebs, fashion, and entertainment yet don't really care for uggs, survivor or skinny jeans. I think am the only person in the world that has no interest in watching 24 or Lost and I'm okay with that. I love beat poetry and novels, and in spite of being raised by the only Jewish Republican parents I know, I have a very bohemian side.
I guess my point is that I am a human paradox. I always have been. I know so many people it is often a joke [often dubbed "facebook queen"] but I have never felt popular or cool or even well-liked.
I have always felt I have something to prove.
It has never been about me.
Now that I have graduated school and am beginning my adult life I have resolved to make it about me.
I hope you don't find this self-indulgent or dull, and if you do, don't read it.


See, it is already about you-- this is going to be a long journey.
