I'm new.
I suppose everyone's been 'the new kid' at some point or another--part of the entire expereince seems to be feeling your stomach turn over a few times and standing around with your arms sort of dangling by your sides, wondering what on earth you should do, where you should start. Guess I'll start with my penname up there. Now, the original idea comes from when I was in high school, doing a career prep class. I became an educational assistant in...I think it was a grade three class. I don't remember who told me this, but one of the girls looked at me and said that I was very pretty; exactly like Mimi the Mermaid from the Spongebob Squarepants movie. For those of you who are not as childish as I am, Mimi is the daughter of King Neptune himself, and she really does look a lot like me, though my hair's gotten longer since then. I wear that compliment with pride: Mimi is one of the best parts in the ENTIRE movie, AND a princess, AND a mermaid to boot. The second Mimi has more to do with this site: Mimi the stripper from RENT. She has some of the best songs in the show: Out Tonight (ah, to hit notes like that) and Without You (wonderful song) being two that spring to mind. Even though she's an AIDS-infected drug addict, I rather admire her for her 'seize the day' attitude. Not to mention I'd love to see her Famous Lawn Chair Handcuff Dance just for fun. The only other Mimi I can think of (I note these are all from movies and none from books, my drug of choice, how dissapointing) is the renamed character from the original Digimon series--one of my first animes. She wasn't one of my favourite characters, but still, I used to wait every day for that show and write about it in my diary. And, she has pink hair later on, which I DO love. So that's the name. I probably could have picked something that would have fit better, but Mimi got into my head and stuck, so Mimi I remain, at least for awhile. I like it better than my real name anyways. I want to write books for a living, or at least, that's what I tell people. Push is currently coming to shove and not much is happening. Certainly not as much as I want to happen. I'm working on it. Life getting in the way, as usual, though times a little more trying than usual at the moment. Problem is everyone else is having trying times too...I keep threatening to crawl under my bed. I actually have someone lined up to pull me out when I finally snap and stay under there for a month. Violently, if necessary. Confusing thing is, I actually have less stress than last year, but my stomach is still working on its ulcer. Wish I knew what was really wrong. Or rather, wish I knew how to make it stop. Christmas coming up soon is a good thing, at least. I'll write up something giddy about that soon enough.

Mimi
Not much to me, not yet anyways. I want to be a writer when I grow up (yes, when I grow up). Mostly ideas right now. And books, of course. I'm mad about books. Archives
