Bio

{ exposition }

The stage is clear, cold, lit by a dimmed blue light. On the left side is a warm quilt, upon which rests a generic child's tea set; worn and over used, the thick china is cracked and glued up. Beside it are several raggedy teddy bears. A small, blank paperbook lies open, discarded, next to an empty metal pencil tin. On the right, a tall bookcase looms. It is made of oak, and smells of wisdom and cynicism. The books within it, while clearly loved, are scattered, piled up without thought of their spines, and crammed in. They are of all genres -- noir, historical, romantic, comedy, classical, fairy tales; even comics, and textbooks too.

Posters cover the wall of the stage, in such a way it induces a mild feeling of claustrophobia. Like the books, the content of the posters is mixed and balanced. Some are nothing but the presence of popular culture: favourite bands, favourite actors, favourite films, all easily discarded of once the novelty has become tedious. Some are better described as prints, featuring the work of favourite artists, and work both as inspiration and material for death-defying envy. The remaning posters are more personal, collages of the faces of those we will encounter every day, the faces of those villains we hate, the faces of those heroes we love, and the faces of those ambiguous cases about which we cannnot quite decide.

Life is but a stage. Men and women are but players, acting to a script they have not yet forgot but do not quite remember. It is best to grit your teeth, ignore your stage fright, forget the audience... and let the show go on.

{ conflict }

My name is Dominique, and I was born into an uncomfortable, self-obsessed, ever-changing world, feeling as stable as a loose pebble in a mountain spring. I am still finding my footing, in both the wide, wide world and myself. There are many different facets to me, and they balance themselves out perfectly.

I consider myself European -- although I'm British, born and bred, I've spent enough time living in Europe to feel unhappy pinned away in one box. Politically, I support the Lib Dems, if only because Labour need to get out and I don't trust the Tories. I think the Green Party should be listened to more. Religiously, spiritually, I'm still figuring it out. Raised by an atheist and a sort of agnostic, I'm a still a bit confused about what I personally believe in.

{ climax }

I am, in many ways, a child of my time. I love: casually, freely, easily, enthusiastically. I am easily enchanted by things, and incredibly easy to please. I am a total, unrepentent geek, and I am not going to be ashamed of that any more. I love modern popular culture, classic texts, and archetypal folklore and fairy tales! ♥ I'm particularly fond of anything fantastical, surreal, magical, Romantic, or ironic. I am a tomboy, obsessed with the glamour and beauty of yersteryear. I am a myriad of inner conflicts, held together with spit and determination. I love to learn, sciences, arts, humanities; but this year, I'm learning how to live.

I do not believe in giving oneself away to others easily; that leads only to hurt, pain, and rejection, and I am not mature enough to cope with that yet.

{ resolution }

I'm not easily offended, but I do worry a lot about my own effect on people. If I seem to have snubbed or hurt you, it's not out of malice, but more out of worry. I'm pretty sure I suffer from an anxiety disorder, but I'm too anxious to go to the doctors about it; I appreciate the irony, although it doesn't help much!

{ but above all else, i am a work in progress }
