Exhibit B (2.0) Introduction
Me? Intimidated? Pfft...
Ok, I am. And in all honesty, i do not know what possessed me to go for therealljidol mini-contest. But I did and here I am. I hope I manage to do decently.
Of course, me joining again means I took part in a mini "Friending Frenzy" of sorts. I don't know why I did that either. Usually I am too "dark", too "open", too "strange", too "crazy", too "immature", too "old", too "weird", or even too "boring" for most people to stick around very long. In other-words... I'm just not "normal" enough for the majority of the contestants I have happened across. People usually like to read about things/people they can relate to. I very seldom fall into that category. (Unless by some strange twist of fate, the readers are just as abnormal as myself.)
The last time I did this, (2010-/-2011) it felt like I was ripping out my soul by the time I finally just stopped. I had already made it 10 weeks in which, in all honesty, shocked me. I suppose I would have been proud of making it that far back then, had I not been so wrapped up in craziness. (Carnie life/school/family drama.) Happily I think I may be able to stick with it this time.
So.. New People! ~waves~
I am Witchdollie. Or "Witchie" or "Dollie" or.. (if you want to get real-life personal) "Ivy". I answer to all four and have for several years. I'm a bit of a geek and a nerd rolled into one. I'm a gamer, a texter, and, oddly enough, have found the joy in chatting on instant messenger again. I don't RP but I am told I would be a natural because I "emote" a lot. So.. if you want, I am 'witchdollie' on yahoo and 'lilwitchdollie' on google talk. Be warned though.. I may make a journal entry just for you.
I am currently in the process of building up my photography business. I love taking pictures, I love playing with Photoshop, and I love creating photo-manipulations as well. I also love to sing and I love to play music. In fact.. I pretty much love anything that allows me to express myself in some way, shape or form.
However, with writing, I have a love/hate relationship. I am surrounded (literally) by people who seem to be able to weave words into everything from simplistic short stories to fantastic tales that hinge on the borders of fact and fiction and involve the reader so completely that they find themselves breathless when they have finished reading. It's quite intimidating. I want to be able to do that. So.. that's my main reason for joining this contest. In hopes that the brilliant minds of those I am surrounded by will somehow rub off on me.
Winning would be cool too, of course. But, in all honesty, I never enter these things to win. I enter them to motivate myself and make myself work harder to become better at what I aspire to be. (In short.. so I "suck less")
Other stuff about me... My pets consist of 3 black cats, 3 chickens, 2 med-sized dogs, a snake and 2 tanks of fish. I also have a daughter who will be 9 in July.
I no longer filter my entries really.. so read at your own risk. Sometimes I may write about fetish-type stuff. I will normally screen all comments on such entries. I don't know why... maybe so people will fell more comfortable in responding. Who knows?
As for the rest... I can be quite random.
On with the show!
