Good Evening, my fellow Insomniacs..

Tonight, I have decided to begin my descent into the great chasm otherwise known as the blogosphere. You see, my sleepless friends, I have spent month after month, perusing other people’s blogs, savoring their intelligent words and intrepid ideas. Every night brings me a wee bit of excitement as I wonder if my beloved bloggers have left any tidbits for my frail and exhausted mind to feed off of into the wee hours of the morning, making each dreamless night a little more bearable.

This evening, as I read my nightly entries, enjoying the antics of these modern day storytellers, a secret wish buried deep within me, emerged. It dawned on me that I, too might have something to contribute to someone else’s twilight journeys through out the internet- dare I dream of perhaps touching upon their minds in the daytime.

I suppose I should begin my foray by supplying you with a brief history of myself. I am a 28 year old woman, born on the banks of the Hudson River and bred in the fair Garden state. I have a wonderfully entertaining and dysfunctional family that brings me laughter, tears, blessings, and love. This family consists of my brilliant and passionate Cuban-born parents, and my younger brother, who I am only beginning to know as my peer, but is one of the kindest and most honorable souls who could ever cross your path. My family also consists of 6 spirited Dachshunds, 8 very docile pussycats, and 2 parakeets.

As an individual, I find myself to be unabashedly feminine, a hopeless romantic, and an eternal optimist regarding everything except myself. I love very deeply, talk too loudly, take everything a little too personally, but forgive easily. I am told I am an intelligent and cultured individual, although my various moments of ditzyness might make you think otherwise. I adore all things lavish, luxurious and decadent. I concede to such diva-like indulgences all too often, and it will be the death, if not of me, then at least of my poor bank account.

After many years of trying to find my calling amongst the various industries in New York City, I now find myself unemployed since January of 2009. But, even in such dark times as these, I have found amazing bits of light to guide me along the way. 2009 blessed me with people and experiences I shall always treasure, taught me  valuable lessons about the person I had become, and gave me the courage to grow into the person I want to be.

I hope that you will all join me on this escapade as I discover and evolve into the woman I have always dreamed of being.

Yours,

Ditzy Diva
