Fabulous Monsters...

'This is a child!' Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her, and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude. 'We only found it to-day. It's as large as life, and twice as natural!'

'I always thought they were fabulous monsters!' said the Unicorn. 'Is it alive?'

'It can talk,' said Haigha solemnly.

The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said 'Talk, child.'

Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: 'Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!'

'Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the Unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?'

I thought I might use this now and again to collect my thoughts.  

I 've had blogs,websites, facebook, forums ,myspace, twitter - you name it . I really love connecting to people all over the world and peeking into their lives. Sometimes even becoming a part of their lives. 

You get people telling you that none of that really matters. They aren't real connections. They come and go virtually when the wind changes. I say it enriches me as a person. I can see good , bad and ugly in these people. It helps me understand the world and  what kind of person I am or at least want to be. After all , when it comes down to it  all we are is stories. We live  and we die. All of our stories end . If you are lucky someone remembers you, loved you and tells your story. Some people have stories that live on for generations. Some people have stories that end before they have even really begun. 

What about me? I don't really think my story is really all that interesting. Some say I am funny . I try to come up with a funny  anecdote now and again. Some people have said sometimes I am  a bit too negative or of sharing too much information. That is fine and more than possibly true. Sometimes I feel as though I have almost conned all the people who follow me online on whatever  site I am currently on into thinking I am better than I am . That I am more funny or smarter or cooler . I do  sometimes feel I don't live up to their expectations . I really hate to disappoint people. 

I will say that I care . About a lot of things and a lot of people . As I said I hate to disappoint and I do everything I can to not let people down. I like to do things for other people. I probably do more than I should and spend more money than I should. I am working on finding a balance of making sure  my personal responsibilities are taken care of  while still being as generous as I can.

I like reading , I like music and art. I like crafts. Anything that involves creativity. 

I don't know if anyone will ever read this or what they would really think about me and my stories  but I am a real person out in this world. 

I will try to believe in you and I hope that you will try to believe in me.
