M-C of 1000 days.... Photo 1 of 2
Day 270 Year 3 After 1000 days of this project, I have been a tank girl, a pirate, a zombie, a woodland queen, a nerd, a geek, a boxer, played with fire, played with monkeys, jumped, wore my chucks, wore hardly anything at all,
wore nothing at all, recreated paintings, painted myself, painted my face, wore a top hat , wore wigs, dressed up, dressed down, played in the rain, danced to music, was inspired by lyrics, cloned myself, wore my own creations, wore the creations of others, paid tribute to movies,
recreated musicals, ate cupcakes, had one , two, three, birthdays, acted like a duck,
I've been sick, I've cried, I've lost loved ones, had loved ones sick, I've met flickr folks, I've stood on benches, sat on logs, cruised on boats, rode in cars, drifted out to sea in a box,
I've eaten out, eaten at home, made cookies, enchanted a lady bug, won an Ocsar (?), had a flood, had a fire, watched my Yankees lose, watched my Yankees win, played with deadly sins, been hugged by a polar bear, squeeze a hippo, paid tribute to others,
done cartwheels, done back bends, blown bubbles, taken showers, been touched by the kindness of others, wrapped myself in caution tape, made an outfit out of duct tape, drank coffee,
I've been Marilyn Monroe, Frida Kahlo, Humphrey Bogart, Siouxsie Sioux, and even Jacques Tati.
Oh and people, that's just a fraction of it all because for every picture I've taken over the last 1000 days, I've got at least one outtake posted as well.
However, in the end, the picture you see above this rather long description is me, M-C, a girl that's just happy to be alive and well through it all.
YET....it hasn't all been happy....
On the negative side of flickr, I've been shunned, ostracized, left out, ignored, lied to, lied about, watched friends go without a word, had my photos stolen, been stalked, and been put into the middle of battles that have nothing to do with me.
All have hurt in ways I can't even begin to describe yet I've NEVER spent my time taking it out on others here.
I've tried to be nice to everyone.
On the weird side of flickr, I've been asked to post pictures of my feet, post pictures of me crying. I've been asked to sell my hair, my shoes, my little plastic monkey.
I've received 6 marriage proposals, and blocked creepy fetishist that want to see things I'm even too embarrassed to describe.
On the best part part of flickr, I've met some wonderful people that seem to genuinely think me and my photos are interesting. For all those that have supported me and my work, I thank you so sincerely. You have made this journey worth continuing.
And whether I stop today or continue on I want to thank those that have stuck by me and have publicly supported me along the way. That acknowledgment has made this worthwhile and validated further my reason for doing this project in the first place.
See, I started this project to remind myself that I was still alive and well.
Not long before starting 365 in '07, I wasn't sure I'd still be here.
We are all fragile beings and life can take you places you never expected.
This is a daily reminder that not only is that alright to enjoy life and to embraced its wonder.
So I embrace each day and continue to find the good in my life through photos.
After all, its brought all of you wonderful people into my world too. :)

Happy New Year to all of you!!
