So I've created a blog. This one.
And I thought about what I would call it. And after pondering it for a few days it popped into my head.
A Wrinkle.
When I was very young, probably around the age of 9, I think I began reading almost every child/youth book of fiction in my school's library. A few became favorites. Some I remember well, and others to which no matter how much I Google or search I can't find them due to not remembering their titles. It's funny that the ones I remember the most about, I can't for the life of me remember the titles. And having worked in a bookstore for 3 years, I still cannot find these books nor the authors who wrote them. But one will always be my absolute favorite. I fell in love with the children's novel "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. On a side note, her other books in the series are very amazing as well. If you have only read this one, I highly suggest reading them all.
Now what does this have to do with my blog title you ask?? Well... in the book she describes a concept. A concept called Wrinkle. To make it very short, she writes about how Wrinkling is the 5th dimension. A way to travel through time and space in a mathematical shortcut. She puts it rather well when she describes it like this, " to put it into Euclid terms, or old fashioned plane geometry, a straight line is NOT the shortest distance between two points." It's kinda like a cross between Bill and Ted's phonebooth and Star Trek beam me up Scottie. A way to go through time and space and distance all in one.
Wrinkle. A way to read about my time and space and distance of this life.. I suppose if I could write it that way. I've always liked that word to describe my life. Time and space and distance.
Oh and I'm Thabto. An online name I've used since I became aware of the internet and back in the day and used IRC and chat sites and wanted a cool email that was not something like "littlesexy69" or "cutiepie01" or your other typical girlie online names that your friends had when they created an email account or wanted msn. Since I began using it, I've also carried it forward as my artist name or alias whenever I show art. The origin of Thabto though, I don't usually reveal. However, being an awesome source of knowledge, Google will probably do the work for you if you ever really decide to research it..and now as you read I bet you are!! HA! So I've been found out.....
A Wrinkle in Thabto... yup, sounds about right to me.
Enjoy my blubberings and whimsies and odds and ends and art and random thoughts and experiences and memories that I decide to share.
