Personal confession...


What would your house look like if you were going to paint a house that would tell about yourself?? Mine looks like this... at least this is how it looked like yesterday!

I had a clear image of the color of the house in my mind when I started... It was supposed to be something inbetween seagreen, and turquise (to show my connection to the sea and water in general... which I find wery calming and purifying. I wanted to show myself being (or trying to be) creative in a kind of atelier, I wanted the house to be on a beach overlooking water (ocean) (to show that I like having control of certain things...!?) and I wanted the house to be partly round (to illustrate that I don't like to hide things in the corners of my mind...!?). I wanted the doors to be open and warm light flowing out of the door and the windows, so that my friends and family would feel welcome. I wanted a garage for my motorbike(!) (to show that I take care of my values), and I wanted to have a rich rosegarden surrounding my house, to show that life actually is a dance on roses... (beware of thorns...!) And I wanted an Asian inspired roof to show that I have interests in Asian philosohy...! The driveway also shows that I do like some things to be structured in my life...!

Well... that's my personal confession for today...!

Absolutely there is love at first sight. My first memory is when I saw Julie Andrews on stage in London in MY FAIR LADY (she was only 18 then, if you can imagine). I was about 8 and couldn't take my eyes off her. I saw her interviewed last year (in her 60's) and still was mezmerized.

Okay, that's my Julie Andrews fixation confession.

It's happened a few times since then too and they didn't look like Julie Andrews (okay maybe one did).

Absolutley there is love at first sight. For me it was Julie Andrews on stage acting in MY FAIR LADY. She was 18 and I was 8 and when I saw her interviewed last year (in her 60's), I still had a fluttering heart!

It's happened since then a few times too - and they didn't look like Julie Andrews... (okay maybe one did).

There's my confession...

Sorry I left the same confession twice - I didn't think the first one went through. Shit, now you have 3 messages just on my confession!
