In straddling two blogs I have come to own two very different sets of identities. Tiny Dancer did come first and in the beginning one blog was enough trouble. I didn't have too many people reading my blog save for one loyal follower whom I ended up writing to, for the most part. Over time, the blog has become less of a response to this person ( I have also since, lost this loyal follower. Tragedy=Life) and more of a general response to everything(yes I know that's vague). Which ended up affecting the kind of poems I wrote.
As time went by though, I had things to say that weren't poem-y. I wanted to talk about music and movies and while I am insecure enough about my poems god I am so much more frightened about sharing my views on... anything. Especially music, movies and the like. It's asking for trouble you know? But like I have mentioned before, I am a super sized geek. Seriously, the biggest you could find. That blimp you see floating by your window? Me. So as I immersed myself more in the TV, music and movie critiques (of more articulate others) I slowly convinced myself that if I couldn't be articulate I could at least mimic it(It's possible.You can do it too!). There aren't too many people who read this blog. In fact it feels so comfortably tucked away I can be as mis informed, off the mark in my choices, my taste and critiques as I want. (See that huge dark shadow looming before you? Say hello to my inferiority complex. Say it!)
And so this blog emerged out of a big fat inferiority complex, a need to hide from regular followers and wanting to put stuff out there with out any backlash, thank you very much! What? Don't judge me. People have kids for far more spurious reasons.
