Why a Fine Frenzy?
So...I'm not quite sure what my goal is for this blog, but here's what I'm thinking......RANDOM! Yes, I'm going to go for random. I like random. I've found that I express myself better through writing, so I guess I will use this as a platform to throw out ideas/opinions/topics, poetry, share links and info that I find interesting, tips I've learned and want to share, etc... (all random of course). I hope to gain wisdom and view different perspectives from those who reply (if any). I'd also like to use this as a different means of communication with the people in my life. Maybe they might be able to get to know me a little more or just in a different way...I think it might be fun!
I did the "Dear Diary" thing as a kid, but when I discovered that my Mom had broken into it to read my deep dark 8 year old secrets, I never picked it up again, until later.....much much later. It has been recommended by my therapists over the years...yes therapist(s) plural. You caught that did ya? Perhaps I'll get into that another time. Anyway, I've tried to keep a journal soooo many times, but I've never been able to keep it going. I think I'd find it more helpful to use this blog as a pseudo journal because it would offer the insights and perhaps shared experiences of outsiders. I mean, my biased brain and heart may be hindering my sight of things because I'm too close to the situation. Does that make sense?
Now to the question presented in the title of this first post of mine.....Why A Fine Frenzy?
frenzy |ˈfrenzē|
noun ( pl. -zies) [usu. in sing. ]
a state or period of uncontrolled excitement or wild behavior
For starters...I LOVE the word (the definition and the way it looks and sounds), but it's not the main reason it was picked. This is the word that seems to best fit the feeling of my insides when I feel extraordinarily passionate about something or when get really REALLY excited. I vibrate...and yes, I know that might be an interesting choice of word, but that's what happens! It's like an alarm goes off inside of me and wakes up the millions of jumping beans that have been hibernating since my last "episode" of excitement. It's a very bizarre feeling that doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, I pay attention. I figure this strong a feeling is not something to be ignored. That maybe it's my deepest heart and soul saying "YES! This is what you REALLY want. Don't be a stupid ass and ignore me like you have in the past. Pay attention Jenna!" Now, this jumping bean feeling also happens when I am feeling very scared or in the middle of a panic attack, except add the following to the list above...shaky, insanely nauseous, and uncontrollable random water works shows from my eyeballs. FUN! I've been having all of these frenzied feelings a lot lately (both the good and the bad) because I think I have BIG things to be excited about, but at the same time possibly some big things to not be excited about. However, I'm not ready to disclose those yet.
Hopefully the paragraph above helped to describe my choice of the word "Frenzy". As for the "Fine"? Well...I like me! I can say that now with relative ease because I use to not like me. So, yes, I am a fine person (of fine quality...I guess I should specify) and I like me. That's why I chose the word fine...that and the fact that I thought it went really well with frenzy in a pretty rad way.
