self-expression

self-expression, like most things, has more than one aspect to it; however, one can generalize it into two categories: mentally and physically. examples of mental self-expression would be something along the lines of writing, reading, playing music, or singing. they come from the mind, they are figments of your imagination. by expressing them, you allow the seed-like figments to germinate, to sprout, to grow, to thrive--and that's the best way to do it.

for the past week(s), i've been working on a writing venture--fanfiction. yes, i concede: i read manga, i watch anime, i stalk forums and fansites, and now--i also am becoming one of "them." the account i created on a website, which was created for fans who wish to write fiction for the stories/movies/cartoons/animations they've seen, has not been put to use until recently. i published two chapters. excitement, happinese, accomplishment, anxiety, apprehension, resolve--those emotions ran through my mind, and i was consumed--the plot bunnies have finally sank their buckteeth into me deep enough that the rabid venom has overtaken. i was a slave to an idea, yours truly, and i wrote, and editted, and racked my brain for words that would accurately describe the feeling. powerfully?-no too overused and sophmoric. ardently?-not there yet, there will be a moment when that word will be used, and that will be the time when i am consumed and filled with orgasmic writing pleasure and content. the necessary and perfect word to describe my status would be "satiated."

i've self-expressed myself mentally.

by next week, i hope to do the same, but physically. be bolder in front of the camera. act like a model. be a model. "own it" with my eyes. command presence. show personality. i just hope my resolve stays. i plan to name the act of self-expression: stage-tenacts of self-expression. look for it photo-edited. i'll most likely post it here. i can't wait. i need to get toned though. and hopefully my resolve stays.

another thing: i need to update chapter 3; even though they're strangers, they and i share the same affection for the characters and the ideals. a kinship, if you use the term loosely. so i shan't disappoint. (:


and of course, proof:
