Diva's Independance Day!

from my blog:

I am a fantasy/fiction fan. I am a dork, a geek, a nerd! Yeah I said it. I like playing pirates and pirate talk. I am addicted to Facebook computer games. I love reading books that include elves and fairies and unicorns and dragons. I think vampires are cool. I think Doctor Who is #1! I know how to make the vulcan hand gesture, with both hands. I love Fantasy Art! I have played Dungeons and dragons and mostly will again if I can find someone to play with me! I am emotional and whimsical and romantic. Mostly I am tired of hiding. I am tried of pretending to be what people want me to be. This is me like it or not. Take it or leave it!!!!!!!

something from my blog I wanted to share with you guys!

I love Fantasy /Sci-Fi Art. I love the dream it presents. I like the alternate visions it creates. I love the beauty of it. Even the darker artists. There is a passion and a dream and an emotion that I love in Fantasy Art. I look at it and I see movies and books go by in my mind. Whole stories unfold like movies in my mind. I love the fairies and the unicorn and the pirates and the wenches, the mermaids and their lost loves and all the stories and lives they have to share with us. And some might find my taste in art naïve, but it is a choice I make to choose art that makes me feel alive or happy or dreamy… I choose art by how it makes me feel! I choose it for the beauty that echoes within it! I would prefer a 10$ rendering of something I like then a 500$ rendering of something that leaves me cold. As for making art, well I am afraid I lack talent in that area. But I still contribute by coloring, ha-ha! I love coloring. I love filling blank spaces with color. And when I am done coloring something, I am as proud as a 6 year-old bringing home a pretty picture! So that is me, coloring away, admiring fantasy /Sci-Fi art and dreaming the day away, like it or not!

I started learning how to draw. Let's just say I have always been more of a stick figure drawer then anything else. But I have always loved art and things of the sort. So I told my husband I wanted to learn to draw. So, he took me to an art supply store and he bought me some pencil and a pad. We went to the book store after and he bought me the book: Drawing for dummies. I love those for dummies book. And so I have started , now, to learn how to draw. I will try and put one of my scribbles into my avatar pic.

I also intend to learn spanish. I bought Spanish for dummies lol. and piano. Guess what book I bought for that ?

In january I also intend to start singing lessons again!

So there you go! This is me continuing on with my Declaration of Independance and my exploration of myself and my creativity!

exhausting indeed. I can so relate. I've spent... at least 19 years if not more trying to be something and someone everyone else wants me to be. Thank you so much for posting this. Please, do you know how you came to the decision to not let yourself do that anymore? You inspire me and I say congratulations on your declaration of independance! Happy November 10th!

Happy Independence Day! Happy November 10, 2009; henceforth proclaimed Diva's Independence Day!

I see and hear fireworks and I'm celebrating your Independence Day with you. I thought of the chorus to Martina McBride's song. I hope you like it too.!!!

Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is the day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Congratulations Diva and I look forward to celebrating every Independence Day with you!

Lately, I have been writing DEiva's declaration of independance! I have gotten to part 2. I am slowly working on owning myself the way I am, with all my quirks and such. It all started when a friend of mine complained that I play too many silly little games on my facebook. I like to play pirates and such and I post pretty pictures of fairies. And me and some of my friends like to talk pirate to each other. We participate in each others fantasy worlds. So he complained and he blamed the "Stupid computer" for making me that way. Werll at first I was stunned! I was stunned because he is one of my best and oldest friends. How could he now know I have always been like that! How can he not know I have always been a fantasy/sci-fi Fangirl?!? Then I felt insulted. Why was he dissing something that brought me joy and fun in my life? Why was he trying to shame me and take that away from me?

I realized that he did not know that about me because in the past, Ihave hidden that fact from him. I instinctively felt and knew thast he disliked that kind of thing and as such kind of didn't make him aware of that side of myself. I realized I have done that a lot in my life. I take a lot of energy to hide facets of myself from people so as to mold myself into what they expect from me! And it is exhausting!

So I told him. I told him I hadf always been that way, that the computer had nothing to do with it, it had just enabled him to be more aware of this fact. And that I was that way and it made me happy and he could take it or leave it!

Before, I would have apologized for disappointing him and hid again, like I had to be ashamed. But not this time. And it was cathartic!

So that is when I started writing my declaration of independance!

I am TIRED of molding myself for others. I am tired of hiding parts of myself to fit into the molds others provide me! I am me and if they can't take it! They don't deserve me!!!

I am declaring today, November 10th, Diva's Independance Day! It is a new era in my life. No more hiding! No more wasting energy trying to meet other people's expectations of me! This is me like it or not!
