Off With Their Heads!

Just making a brief post to say farewell to the Queen of Hearts, from J. Scott Campbell's incredibly lovely calendar. I think she is my favorite from this year, though Cinderella (September) is a close second.

Odd princess?

So, why the username? Well, Sara means "princess", and I am pretty girly. Myriad of course means a huge, unlimited, etc. amount of something. And I like to think my interests are pretty vast.

But I'm kind of an odd girly girl. I generally don't like wearing makeup....it's pretty, but it is a hassle to apply and remove. I hate it when mascara gets into my eyes. I like dresses, but don't find them to be that practical. Plus, my legs make me want to cry. Haha. Maybe I would want to wear those things more often if I was thinner, and not the hippy, busty woman I've been "blessed" into becoming. A good pair of jeans really make me happy. I do love spending time on my hair, wearing a lot of jewelry, and doing my nails. Did I mention my phone case has about a hundred genuine Swarvoski crystals on it? And a giant bow?

I'm also not afraid of hard work and getting dirty when I need to. I wouldn't call myself a priss by any means. Well, I don't really like camping. It's uncomfortable and I feel disgusting sleeping in a tent. I don't shy away from getting covered in flour or oil or sauce in the name of good cooking, however.

I guess I'm really sort of an in-between. Someone who doesn't mind being domestic and doing chores, but also someone who enjoys dressing herself up in small ways to feel pretty. A typical young woman? With an extra dose of obsession with the color pink? You know, I think it's working for me very well.
If you had amazing hair like I do, you'd go a little crazy keeping it in top form too, I bet.

I find myself wondering why exactly I'm getting back into the habit of posting in a journal....it's been hard to since my last one went down. I used a knockoff of LiveJournal, and wrote in it faithfully for five years or so. I really loved that blog; it wasn't just a place where I could vent....it also kept years of memories for me, back when I was painfully shy and could not easily put my feelings into verbal communication. I also had many artbook reviews and it was sad to see them disappear when the site went under. Even more sad to lose the record I had kept of my life. Such as it was. I tried several times after that to start new blogs. It wasn't the same. My heart wasn't in it anymore. I'm hoping this time I will be able to stick with it. I always feel so much better when I can get my emotions down. So I guess in summary, this blog will be for me, and me alone. I will surely put down my thoughts on books/other products like before, but for my own enjoyment. If someone finds this helpful, all the better. Ultimately, I just want to start keeping track of my life again. If nothing else, it's something to re-read on a rainy day, right?

This is a test post.
