i am having trouble with my sister.
she just seems so one dimensional sometimes.
so fake.
i know that she would listen if i talked to her.
the problem is that i really just don't know what to say.
i don't know what its like to be a nineteen year old girl.
let alone one who is living at one of the nation's most notorious party schools a whole state away from the nearest family member.
sigh...
creating an imaginary sibling is hard.
it all started with my imaginary girlfriend sara. there was such a hole in my life after we broke up. no longer could i tell my co-workers stories about my non-existant love and her recent career move into the world of exotic dancing. i had no more stories about my jealousy, about our legendary fights (even the police were called once!), about how inspite of our struggles we really just connected. no. sara (or, serenity, as she was known at work) was gone. our breakup, conveniently coinciding with the end of my actual romantic relationship, was a bitter one. she cheated. i left. it was for the best. but, now who do i tell stories about? me? could we be any more boring? no, i needed someone a bit scandalous. someone with a touch of sex appeal.
and thus ashley marie connell was born.
born on may, 3, 1987, ashley is by far the youngest in the family. six years younger than me and elleven years younger than my brother, she was spoiled a lot more by my parents. (people as they age become more gentle. this is why your grandparents are usually cooler than your actual parents.)
she is left handed.
she is a bit girly.
she is really smart but she doesnt usually apply herself.
she is attending Texas A&M.
a couple of days ago she got a myspace page.
this is when my troubles began.
myspace, when considered as a medium of story-telling, is actually pretty complex. myspace is about details; about nuance. a good mastery of the appropriate dialogue for the character is not nearly enough. one must also be aware of the character's taste in music and film, her choice for color in a lay-out, what kind of font she would use, and so forth and so on. ashley is proving to be a lot more work than i would have ever guessed.
but i am not complaining. oh, no. not at all. ashley is the biggest challenge that i have given myself in a very long time. i am pretty excited to see what she will become if i pull this off.
i just hope that she won't rub it in if i fall flat on my face.
