Here
I am, the real me.......:)....I thought it was time to update my bio.....the
very silly one, written for our website at work, but never used..:(....,
is still here....click on the link at the bottom of the page if you desire
to peruse it......I was a newbie to the net when I wrote that, oh so long
ago......definately time for something new here.So
you want to know who Wildheart & Diane are?......we are the same person.
Wildheart is my internet identity. I got that nickname from a Stevie Nicks
album, The Wild Heart , and use it for chatting and just about everything
else I do on the net. To my rt friends, coworkers & my family, I am
Diane, named for the ancient Roman goddess of the hunt.Well.......what about me?.......right now I live on the dusty plains of West Texas, also known as the Land of the High Sky......Chicago is the city of my birth and where I lived for most of my early childhood. When I was 12, my family moved to Lamesa, Texas, then we moved to Del Rio and then Lubbock, where I spent my 'formative' years, you know...the teen years & early 20's. I graduated from Frenship High School in 1980, which was a small school at that time, now it's the largest high school in Lubbock County........After high school, I spent too many years at Texas Tech University trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my self.........hmmmmm.....major in something or work at a movie theater for the rest of my life?......*l*......well, when that got old & all went nowhere, I moved 120 miles south, to Midland and got a BA in Literature from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa......It's amazing what a small school & small catalog will do to focus your energy.............Now I've been in Midland for almost 13 yrs working at the newspaper.......and that is the breif bio of me..........:)Other
things important to me may be found here: My poetry, which is the way I
prefer to write.....one of these days I'm going to write a novel or atleast that's what I tell myself......... poetry is the
reason I chose the Paris neighborhood.....Chatting......I used to do a lot of that......you could say I was somewhat addicted, or that I was extremely addicted.....OK, for about 2 yrs it took over my life.....*lol*.........now, wow......I still chat, but not anywhere near as often as I used to........infact, I can actually log onto the net & forget to look in my usual haunt.....yep, looks like I'm cured where chat is concerned.......as my chat time has decreased, but I still like to interact with people on the net and I've become much more interested in message boards......the quality of convo has really declined in chat during the past 2-3 yrs.....talk about something serious and you will be asked to get a room......*l*......on message boards, you may be as serious as you like and no one tells you to be quiet or that they are going to ignore you if you don't change the subject...................Lyrics.....when I first got on the net, good lyric archives
were very hard to find, so I decided to start my own, filled with songs
that I like.......music is a big influence on my poetry......Poetry..........hmmmm..........how should I explain my poetry?.......some of my poems are easy to explain & others are not..........maybe it's best not to try.......whatever anyone who reads it get from it is fine with me.......How do I write my poems?....well, usually I start with a few words and see where they take me......sometimes I'm very deliberate & know exactly what I want to say.......other times I start in one direction and end up with a poem that is very different from what I had intended originally........the words wanted to say something else.........and then there are those that just burst out fully formed, as if sent to me from some spirit......I don't always understand those poems.
And there are other activities that I enjoy......Genealolgy,
tennis, painting, drawing....and I am currently working on a page devoted
to life in wonderful West Texas....Tarot
is a recent interest of mine.....These things haven't made their way here
yet, but who knows....I'm always working on some new idea for this little
web site of mine.........look in every now & then & you might see something new.........:)Diane/Wildheart
