The Launch - An Overview

I decided to recreate a blog for my own personal usage in recovering the means of an outlet for my many past and current loves (short quips of fashion, all music and films that I've liked, any interesting events, and miscellaneous notable things that I want to be able to read back on a few years from now), sharpening my (by now, rather dull) writing and comprehensive skills, and paying a nostalgic visit to a younger, more journalistic, brilliant, and blog-savvy me.

I stumbled onto one of my old websites the past week and while it was embarrassing to re-read everything I'd written and all of the general silliness I'd chosen to upload, I decided it was definitely a very worthwhile hobby to re-start and keep a blog or personal site. I've had many short summer flings with random blogs here and there and other rendezvous and love affairs in the past years with more social-networking types of platforms (xanga, facebook, friendster).

But in a very brand new chapter of my life and in the coming of a new and fresh year, I've made myself a resolution to re-invest my attentions to the cultivation of my life. Not necessarily made for others to read or approve of, but for myself -as a whole- to be pleased with.

I love music (creating and listening) and never had a medium to keep track of it all. I am going into photography (and this time I want to really get into it and keep myself a journal of my progress). I appreciate fashion and beauty (although I can't pretend to know much about it at all) but I'd like to touch upon anything fashion-related in my blog as well. Cute things - wanted to make note of those small but interesting things I run across in my life.

As for the name of the blog, while it used to take me hours and hours to create something truly unique and obscure (like I fancied myself a poet or something. ha-ha), this one came relatively quick to me - I guess these past years have helped with my sensibility! Littlelithefairytale just came rather naturally since I like the concept of fairies - they're cute, small, pretty, and magical. The word fairytale just seemed to flow right after since, in essence, I will be recreating "fairy tales" in the written form of my idyllic fashion, musical, theatrical, and the like, encounters. But what had first occurred to me before all of that was that I wanted to incorporate the words "little lithe" as they gave off a very playful and energetic feeling to what would be my blog.

With that said, here is to a happy and, hopefully, long-lived journey to my blog!

Happy Birthday, littlelithefairytale!!!! Whooo-eee...
