Why not? That was the obvious answer, right? Quite honestly I have been writing journals since I can remember being able to write. I always urge to share with my friends what is happening in my life, my thoughts, my dreams, and my fantasies. Lately I have been writing non-stop. I really never experienced being in the constant company of the writing muse. Maybe because I was raised keeping so many secrets and as a rebellious reaction I must tell everyone my business, even to strangers. Maybe it's because I just moved from a place I have adopted to be my home by choice, a place where I have wonderful friends that I greatly miss, and this is my way to keep them closer to me despite the physical distance. I have been writing to get a new selection of subjects for my new show I want to perform in
If you were invited to read this I thank you for stopping by. You might at some point recognize yourself, although I won't reveal names to respect everyone privacy. I do tend to exaggerate in order to get more of a dramatic or comedic result. So please don't be offended, this is my way to express myself and more than anything it's for my own entertainment. However I was asked by a few friends to start a blog to keep in touch. So there you go!
If you just happened to stumble upon my blog I don't expect you to fully understand me, I'm usually not 100% serious when I'm in creative mode.
One more explanation before I officially start this madness. Why Viola Lunatica? First of all, I like the fact of using an alter ego. It's fun and again it's for privacy reasons. Viola means purple in Italian; everyone knows that is my favorite color. Lunatica... because I truly am a lunatic, the proper Italian translation is Moody. It came to me a couple of nights ago while I was highly intoxicated and walking home back in the middle of the night. During the same evening in my mind I must have told myself several times: "I love this city!!", "I fucking hate this place!", "I'm so happy I moved here!!!", "What the hell am I doing here??". Seriously, I intensely had such opposite reactions and feelings towards a city during the cycle of a few hours. I'm also convinced to have successfully auto-diagnosed myself with bipolar disorder... although I have never seen a therapist in my life and I don't plan on ever doing so. I have nothing against them, I love psychology and some point in my life I wanted to become one myself. I think I just like the fact of keeping my true self a mystery.
