and here…we…go

I was pretty much born with about 900 strikes against me. I’m something of an uber-minority. I’m a woman. I’m black. I’m overweight. I have glasses. I have social anxiety and Asperger’s. I don’t think Brad Pitt’s attractive. For a long, long time, I let these things pretty much control my life and the way I interacted with others, whenever I actually chose to interact.

Now that I’ve got a quarter of my life behind me (quite probably more, looking at family medical history…), I want to own all these things. It’s possible to be an awkward uber-minority and still be pretty damn awesome. So, in trying to maintain my awesomeness, I’m going to do what nearly every other jerk with a keyboard chooses to do.

Welcome to my site!

Fair warning, I’ve never been very good at picking a topic and sticking to it. Blame my giftedness. Blame my Asperger’s. Blame the media. In any case, whoever’s fault it is, I am a girl that enjoys blabbing about numerous topics. And you know what? I figure, my site, my rules.

I will try and narrow it down some, for the sake of everyone involved. Most of the time, I’ll stick to fashion, hair, and social issues that I feel concern me, and maybe other people out there like me. But don’t go complaining if I stray from this path. Sometimes you just gotta go where the words take you.
