Creating Wonderland

This is an exciting assignment. It took a little while for me to figure out what I wanted to create for my Myth website. But in a instant I knew that I must write a creation story about the creation of "Wonderland". I don't want to spoil the story by writing all the details. I will only say that I hope the result is as cool as the ideas are in my head. We can only hope.

I have always had a fascination with wonderland and as a child I loved to pretend that I was in fact.....Alice, in wonderland. I would play in my backyard and pretend I was Alice and the backyard was wonderland. This was also a ritual where I put on the persona of Princess Lea, Daisy Duke, Madonna, and Marilyn Monroe. I was to put it lightly...an interesting child.

So, I decided to write a creation story that appealed to me and my childhood. I have already had so much fun thinking about this story, my website, and playing with the idea of wonderland being a world with great evil at the heart of it. I guess as an adult I have grown a bit more demonic and dark. My blonde hair just hides it. This past weekend I have begun talking pictures to put on the website and I am just truly excited about the whole thing. I have even thought of writing a book on the creation of wonderland. I think I will do that in all of the spare time I have.

Before the section on Myths I had absolutely no interest in them. This seems to be a pattern in this class....I don't like a genre and end up loving it by the end. It is really nice when a class inspires you week after week. (And I am not simply writing this because you will inventually read this Dr. Clark...sincerely). I had it in my mind that Greek Myth's were boring and that was my thought when I read the syllabus. I thought, "Oh, great. I hope that section goes by quickly." But now I am truly enjoying the process, I liked reading about creation Myth's in the book, and I am so excited about the website. Hey.....at the start of this class I didn't even know what a "blog" really was. Look at me now people, look at me now.
