Introduction  
Wow. Um...I've never really been good at this kind of thing. At least not until I'm comfortable in a situation, and being new...well...not really comfortable yet.

My name's Lexa. Just Lexa. Not short for Alexandra or anything like that. I live in New York City. I've got a dog ~ Sasha. She's a terrier mix I found at a shelter here. She's great.

I'm still sort of working on finding myself. You know...what I really want to do. Sometimes things are just confusing.

Even if everyone seems to think I've got it all together...

ooc: Lexa is the primary character in the novel I'm going to be working on for NaNo 2008. I don't know much about her at all...she tends to be as cryptic with me as she is here. But please talk to her! :) She's willing to RP. I promise.

74.08) I do get cynical, but what can you do? It doesn't make any difference. ~ Kurt Russell  
There was one thing Dev Spencer Quinn had learned from a young age. You could never trust people to mean what they said. His first experience with this had been when a playmate of his had told him that Dev couldn't come over to his house because he was sick. Dev later found out that his friend had simply wanted to play with someone else and didn't want Dev around. His mother and father had told him that they'd always keep him safe. When his father's friend had taken advantage of him, that had been proven to not be true. Similiar incidents continued to occur over the course of his life until he had learned that the best thing he could do was be prepared to be betrayed or lied to. It was hard at first to not be able to trust anyone, but as he grew older, he became accustomed to it. Even if someone did act as if they could be trusted, Dev would still hold back for fear of being let down or hurt as time went by. It might have been a good way for him to guard his heart, but it was a horrible way to live.

No one could ever tell him this, though.

An Idea Awaiting Input  
I thought it might be a nice thought to provide links to some 'open' RP comms on LJ, for any muns looking for a place for their muse to have a drink, throw a party, or just hang out. There are a few I know of such as [info]raqia, [info]unitingkingdoms, [info]wtgg and [info]tm_green_room (no it is not affiliated with Theatrical Muse, the name stands for The Mun/Muse Green Room.)

If any of you would like to suggest others or pimp your own, then drop a comment on this post and I'll see that they are added to a link list along with an idea of rating if any ([info]raqia for example is strictly 18 and older for membership, since the club belongs to Lucifer). This is just to give folks an idea of places they can take their muse to RP and not an endorsement. The link will connect to the comm profile page so if you are the maintainer, I would suggest a description of the physical layout on your profile page.

Let me know what you think.

white  
70.08) White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities... ("Sunday in the Park with George")

White is my favourite colour. I told someone that once and he told me it was boring. Like saying vanilla ice cream is your favourite. But I heard somewhere that vanilla isn't boring at all. It's supposed to mean someone's wild or some such. Can't remember exactly but it was the exact opposite of what people usually think. So I wonder if the colour white is like that. I'm too lazy to look it up though.

The reason I like it so much is because it's so pure and simple. It means something unspoiled or untouched. It's a virgin on her wedding day or a little baby about to be baptised. It's new snow and fresh milk and the foam on a crashing wave. I suppose I don't care if there's any hidden meaning behind why I like white so much. I just know I do.
