Hi, come in, sit down. No, right here, next to me. That's better.

I hope you like the decor in here. I love bright things. Flowers and rainbows and silk blouses and sunny days. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but don't you think the world's getting so drab these days? I mean, I go into a clothes shop and what do I see? Grey, brown, brown-grey, black, maybe a little dark blue or dark red, endless variations on a theme by Blah. I know it's winter at the moment, but it was the same in summer. Am I just looking in the wrong places? Are there somewhere scarlets and royal blues and bright golds and greens? If you know, do tell. Selena's dying for a splash of colour.

Now I should tell about me. (Write what you know, they say. Boy, am I in trouble.) I don't really know myself very well yet. I know that I love to dance, and I like some techno and trance music but don't ask me which. I know that I wasted a whole lot of years before I was me feeling sad and sorry for myself, and I want to get out there and see some life before I die. The world is a beautiful place still, and the people in it are mostly cool as well.

I hate to say this, but when I am able to get out and party I don't see myself spending too much time hunched in front of a computer screen. Maybe just enough to keep up with my friends on the net. There's too much fun to be had with the whole body to devote any more years to the eyes and the fingers, don't you think? [giggle]

But enough about me for the moment. If I have this figured out right, there should be a message board down here...
