Hey there long-time readers, search engine stumble uponers, in-between visitors –
oh and lets not forget the automatic spamming programs that sell penis enlargements and adderall (you count too)…

I started this blog in 2008 (I think) with the intention of…well, actually I had no intention for it. Since I was 10 I documented my life in journals and scrapbooks, so in this digital age it made sense that my recordings would fall into WordPress form.

My first taste of blogging came reluctantly in 2006, as I was asked to contribute to a community blog known then as RIOTTT.COM (which is no longer functioning). I declined a few times, confused as to why anyone would care about what I would want to share. I also hated the idea of “online sharing” which was just another term for “horn tooting”, it made me so uncomfortable…but, I later gave in to try “new things” since I didn’t want to be a boring Taurus.

VASHTIE (2006)

After getting positive messages from all sorts of people in various places of the world who found my blog posts, I don’t know…comforting, inspirational, entertaining…I decided to keep going with it. When RIOTTT.COM folded, I had the idea of having my own site which would house my work. As I realized the process of building a website would take some time, it seemed appropriate to hold things over with a blog. I was hesitant to use my name for my site and even my identity for my work, but it took an old friend who was in the public eye to say…”I know you want to hide your identity, but it’s not that time anymore. You can’t be Kurt Cobain, you have to be out there…”.

It made sense, although I still cringe when I have to talk about myself despite all this VASHTIE.COM, VASHTIE TV, VASHTIE, VASHTIE, VASHTIE…BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Anyways…

Is there something you want to see more of or less of?

Is there something in particular that would make the site a better visit for you?

Is there a certain post that you like; SCHOOL GIRL CRUSH, THOUGHT, etc?

Is there a topic; BEAUTY REGIMEN, DIET, STYLE POSTS, etc?

Talk to me friends (and pill pushers)!
