My alter ego got fired from his job today! For being tardy. Poor thing. Unfortunately, some of his emotional turmoil is bleeding over into my life, and I don't care for it at all! If only there were some way to detach myself from his petty concerns...

On the positive side, I'm looking forward to my first public performance, which'll be happening very soon. At Achylles Nephilim's fabulous rooftop gallery. I'm going to go vomit now.

I don't know how much longer I'll stay in Second Life. It's not intuitive enough for me. And too exclusive. La la la la la la laaaaa!

Okay, this blog, what is its purpose again? For that matter, what's the purpose of this entity that is Foodie Figtree, which is me? I, Foodie Figtree, serve some purpose as an expression of a side of Lucas's personality that might otherwise not find release. (I wish I could make some posts private.) I feel overwhelmed by all the activity around me. I'm feeling backwash from my operator, Lucas. How do I separate myself from him? I feel his anxiety (about time constraints, for instance). Why should I feel any such anxiety? Am I purely a fictional character? Is it my desire to perform rock music? Do I feel compelled to rock out for reasons different than Lucas's? These questions occur to me, and so I now I want them answered. And I prefer to answer them myself. And I'm sick of my cute-ass appearance, which was given to me for free because my chosen appearance didn't jibe with the decor at Lestat's. So changing my appearance is my next priority. Maybe remaking my image will help clarify my thought process.

In the spirit of interactivity and/or participation, I'm thinking maybe "my" performance should allow for more participation from the "audience". Let's break these rigid boundaries, people! Everybody's a musician, you've just got to take a chance and step up to the steel drums at Scafell 67, 134, 51. C'mon, it'll be fun! Please respond if you'd like to meet up here for some good, wholesome music makin'.

Potentially Embarrassing

Hello. What the hey, I'm just gonna throw out some of my deepest inner-most thoughts and see what happens.

READER: So, Foodie, I applaud you on your courageous openness. So tell me, what inspired you to create this blog?

FOODIE: Good question. I was visiting the blacklibrary the other day, and the Book of Merl caught my attention. The Book of Merl (presented as a series of comic strips which can be read in any order) is the sacred text of Merlism, a budding religion. One of the strips asks the question, 'Why?'. The answer is 'Why not?'. If that's a good enough reason to start a religion, it's a good enough reason for me to start this blog.

Also, I like the sound of my own typing.

Also, maybe this will allow me to meet some artistically compatible buddies. Anyone out there want to start a band?

I'm off to shop for a good musical instrument right now.

Thanks for reading!
