i didnt know what a blog was until a few months ago,and as the weeks went on and i visited timsuzi, i realised that it was a wonderful forum to actually be all that you are without judgment or guilt , a place where you can be big and little , a place to play a place where you dont have to use capital letters if you dont want to, a place where you can spell familly with 2 ls because it looks better. so about me , every contradiction, very feminine, but i always want to be a cowboy instaed of a saloon gal or a squaw. i am a therapist, of the counselling type.the picture on my blog is me at 18 at art school, i think i was born a tart,. i live alone in cornwall with my son joey, he is 10 and has made me feel reborn, my late arrival is what i call him,we live in a typical cornish cottage. i am lucky i have lots of good friends and the last year has been tough,lots of changes lots of tears but i just remember what toad says in wind in the willows.......onwards and upwards,,,and thats what i do....so i am going to put some of my paintings on tomorrow and i hope that someone will say hello to me soon, feels like the start of something good and pure and new......love yashenka

hi there, yashenka! what a great intro, and a great pic too. i'm sooo envious of those heels, anything over 2in and i get vertigo.
i'm not joking.
er.
:-)
this is a curious, liberating space - and the word blog somehow doesn't capture that; it's a place perhaps more than anything else to mooch.

good question!
i'm a working mum, who spends too much time at work, and who is currently making some big changes to alter that.
oh. and a bit of a troll too.

actually, wanted to add, that i hadn't really answered your question: why blog?
i found myself having to defend myself on this a couple of months ago, to a friend who was utterly unconvinced by the blog thing; saw it as so many sad, desperate people having a kinda displaced big brother thing going on.
i had to agree.
no.
not really.
when i step back from it, i think blogging is quite a phenomenum [did i spell that right?]. but for me, it's a way of sorting out all kinds of stuuf, off-loading stress, having fun, and just connecting [that sounds corny, but isn't meant as such] with people that i'll likely never, ever meet. and why not?
but. i take it seriously, and try not to trample; am conscious that behind all the avatars there are people. and here and there, people pretending to be trolls [my first 'name' here was trollydolly - which i liked, but was too much to type in when i logged in].
people nonetheless.
so, what do you make of it all?

Hey Yashenka,
Lovely to see your blog up and running. I'd like to add to the compliments to your picture. I wish I looked like that (But being a bloke makes that just a tad difficult!!)
love timsuzi xx -

Well I blog for fun and to communicate thoughts, ideas and share bits of me with people I may not otherwise know existed.
I love what Trolly has to say about why and issues of consideration.
And I note that for you and timsuzi there is another level of communication available via Blogland.
I guess we can do and have what we want here within reason?-
- 2006-07-13 @ 18:47:24
the idea of sharing thoughts and ideas with people you otherwise wouldnt know existed! wow, i like that one, for timsuzi and i we go to a place we both love but its a dreamworld and its good to dream again........and yup i hear you are one hell of a woman...
