Something different

I've decided to start a new blog...obviously. I know I have 2 already...but my other Blog is too bitchy to share with the general public, and my livejournal is just not turning out the way I wanted it to...thus a new one starts. I'm not sure what I plan to do with this one; however I'm hoping I can do something different. We'll see.

I admit I stole this title from Emily Carr' s book of journals. I couldn't think of anything myself, so I borrowed. Much like any other writer would. However, I didn't do it thoughtlessly. I would try to explain it, but Emily does so much better.

Why call this manuscript Hundreds and Thousands? Because it is made up of scraps of nothing which, put together, made the trimming and furnished sweetness for what might otherwise have been a drab life sucked away without crunch. Hundreds and Thousands are minute candies made in England - round sweetnesses, all colours and so small that separately they are not worth eating...It was these tiny things that, collectively, taught me how to live. Too insignificant to have been considered individually, but like the Hundreds and Thousands lapped up sticking to our moist tongues, the little scraps and nothingnesses of my life have made a definite pattern.

So we'll see what happens. I want to use this space to be a little more creative than just recounting the grievances of the day. Although I never seem to have much time to do anything more with my writing. University has not only ruined my handwriting, but also taken every original thought out of my head. I feel I've been stripped of the ability to just talk about something I find interesting. My mind is too tired from analyzing novels, articles, epic poems...It is such a novelty when I get to read and write what I choose! Maybe that is why I have 3 blogs now...all for different purposes. It makes sense to me at least...
