On June 28th, 2004, in my last night with internet service in a strange land called New Pangaea, a_rae_audio stormed into this world. With heavily lined eyes, ratted hair, and an O-ring belt, she made her first post:
:spawns:
As an alter ego, I shall spend a gestation period on Livejournal. It is here that I shall develop into a standard ego. And it is then that I shall move forth into this drizzly city and become a superego. Treat me well sweet internet womb! I shall now bask in an amniotic fluid of pixels and code.
Current Mood: born
Current Music: i'mmortal - skinny puppy
Her gestation period lasted exactly 14 months and 2 days, at 1000 Virginia Street, apartment 207. Within this time, she went through many experiences and logged them here with utmost efficiency. Here is a summary, in the form of a ten item list, of her accomplishments:
1. She drank. A lot.
2. She completed 700 hour of schooling at Greenwood Academy of Hair & Skin. She schooled for forty hours a week, while working thirty hours. She found a gorgeous, fun, lush, esto soulmate in amphitrite8 And she drank. A lot. Ultimately, after filling out a lot of paperwork, losing an affidavit, passing a practical exam, and acing a written exam with a 100% score, she was granted a Washington state estheticians license.
3. She lived with the sister that destiny forgot to give her, and that roommates name is Sherry. It was through Sherry that she had the pleasure of meeting lizaluv_ya and her bud fag_addict. She supported a_rae in all of her various exploits, and together they shared more laughs, cries, scares, thrills, exploits, drinks, bowls, trials, and tribulations. She was the best roommate I or my alter ego could desire.
4. She ate sushi, fucking tons of it. queencity, she saw it all go down.
5. She got over her fears of Mercury by attending 5th Colvmn (to kick some love toward her fiery pal nightwind23, and Lucifer's Lounge (etherspook is just the snazziest DJ a girl could wish to sit in a booth with). Throughout the many nights wiled away over black orchids, red deaths, PBRs, gin and tonics, and (most recently) 151 with Tobasco sauce (!), she found some wild folks who had IT! curedrummer, defiantsub, daydream, juniper2pm, discord5, ergotamine and oniglass - take a moment to consider how fantastic you are, and know that I look forward to seeing you when it strikes me to foray into the clubs.
6. She met brilliant folks here on LJ, that likely will have never crossed her path otherwise. cheshirelost (it was great going through beauty school with you.), surfer_rosa (black orchids? Someday?), soupisgoodfood (let's dive!), djsin (can't wait to catch some of that electroclash, your highness), msandromeda (seriously - let's hang out). I'll certainly keep watching on theses friends that a_rae brought to me. Just keep it interesting.
7. liberpolly made it appear that she has a pleasing aesthetic. Thanks, and just say the word - we will do it again!
8. She loved twitche303 very much, and that couldn't work out. Her heart broke into two, but he is still one of her best friends in the world. Later, her heart was broken into 4-6 pieces, but she now understands that is what happens to easy girls. Duly noted.
9. She worked with the funniest, hottest, bestest crew of people one could wish for, in the Zeeks Pizza call center. She has laughed, cried, and been every level of sobriety with malefestra, romiette, y_g_f_jengibson, neurohazard. And ms_mischief taught her that she wasn't no hollaback girl, which is one of life's more important lessons.
10. She lost thirty pounds and learned how to put on makeup. She couldn't have done this without the confidence that grog_loves_you gave her.
And so she lived a fruitful life, but I don't desire an internet alter ego anymore. I don't have time for it, and all my writing in the past few months has been passive aggressive dreck. LJ has gotten me more into writing than I've ever been in my life, and I hope to keep on with it - just in private posts. I'm actually going to sit down and try to figure myself out, for once.
LJ pals: Thanks for reading my trainwreck of a journal, thanks for commenting. During school, and after Robin moved away, this page was a rock for me, and I couldn't say that would have happened without you guys. Keep up with your writing, I'll still reading.
I'll still be on myspace (http://www.myspace.com/a_rae_audio) and available for your emailing pleasure at alysonrae at gmail dot com. Find me that way, and until then, take care.
Just looking for something,
Alyson Rae
