April Rain Somerston.

THIS IS.
To me, this is more than just my poetry site.
This is my oasis. My catharsis. My fantasy and reality.
This is my safety net of anonymity...where I am free to be what the world doesn't see.
To you, I hope this is an interesting collection of well-worded musings.
Maybe it will provide inspiration or amusement...maybe it will arouse emotions.
These words are mine, but they are also what you make of them.

MY ART.
I love singing. Everything.
I write songs as well as poetry.
I play guitar too...not amazingly, but I'm of coffeehouse competence.
I'm a Musical Theatre major. It has ruined my life but I still love it.
I have been dancing since the age of six, and I'm finally becoming decent at it.

MY CAUSES.
I am a vegetarian--would be a vegan if I weren't genetically inclined for osteoporosis.
I am strict about reducing, reusing, recycling, and CONSERVING.
I love the ONE Campaign and Project (Red).
I do everything I can to further the exposure of independent musicians.
As much as it contradicts certain aspects of my lifestyle (see below), I am a feminist.

MY DESIRES.
A lifetime of involvement in music and performing arts.
Life experience beyond the ordinary.
Traveling and experiencing as many different cultures as possible.
To keep my friends close to me forever.
To never fall into a life of boring routine...or a life of constant unpredictable chaos.

AND SO YOU KNOW...
I've engaged in anorexic and bulimic tendencies since I was 15.
My Xanga details this further.
I'm not going to put my stats here, but that is the furthest I will censor myself where this is concerned.
