It's funny because Madonna is hailed as the mother of reinvention. "oh, look at her, she has managed to reinvent herself yet again!" pffft. She really does have nothing on me. I've had to reinvent myself at least 3 major times in my life so far:
1. Coming from being a grubby New Yorker going into an English Public School at the age of 5 where I used to get the pish extracted out of me daily for sounding different. Thusly, I had to work three times as hard as everyone else scrubbing the New York out of my accent.
2. Moving back to New York after living in Britain and going to public school. Getting the pish extracted from me once again over something that I have no control over and having a bunch of fools always laugh at the way I spoke whilst calling me "Posh Spice". Probably the worst insult ever known to man without them even realising it.
3. Going from Full New Yorker mode back into Public School Mode when moving back here. It was a shitload easier than going from Public Schoolgirl to New Yorker I tell you, but I find that there's more than a bit of Scottish Inflection now so I have a English, pseudo New York, pseudo Scottish 3 way accent going on. It's not bad at all though and more amusing than anything.
The other day, using wayback archive, I found the webpage that I had made way back when I was 18, ugh. I actually made a whole page on the site about an ex and I swear if I could go back in time I would bitchslap myself for even wasting my time.
obsession. infatuation. passion. deviancy.
