Greetings to all my beloved devoted Cristen's Realm fanatics and to all of you who just randomly surfed in. In spite of the appearance of this site, I have not abandoned Cristen's Realm, nor do I have any intention of doing so. Believe it or not, I am without full-time internet access for the first time in my life (well, since 1996). And sometimes that can be a nice thing. Anyways, please be patient with me, as I am just a tad preoccupied with life right now. Most of my time is spent at school (UT-Austin), work (Informal Classes, baby!), riding my bike at the Veloway, and just mainly queefin' around (in the figurative sense of the word). These days my thoughts are revolving around Borges and his mind-blowing Aleph, mariposas amarillas, Carlinhos Brown, and my upcoming trip to Brazil. I'm going back to Belo Horizonte to study literature at UFMG. I'm alright; hell, some days I wake up thinking, "It's good to be alive!" It's all about ambivalence, all about the balance between everything I am and everything I'm not...everything I strive to be and all that I cannot turn my back on and walk away from. Sometimes I feel like that same damn 16-year-old spilling her heart out online, and other times I'm so beyond that, emerging from the doorway, stepping out into life! (10 Mar 2002)
