Neurotika, too, or what's in a name

This is where my impulsiveness has brought me. I signed up with the name neurotika.bru without checking whether another blog had the same title - at least the neurotika part. Today I found Neurotika right here at blogger, too. Krush, I hope you don't mind too much sharing.

Krush mentioned in her first post that she thinks she invented the word herself. That's exactly what I thought, too. My take was to replace the "c" with a "k" because the word "ka" means "you" in Filipino. Thus, neurotika equals "neurotic you." I was also playing around with the word "erotic" being embedded in there, so it also means "erotic you."

The "bru," as mentioned in my profile, is short for "bruha," which is Filipino for witch. I was also playing around with the fact that it sounds like "brew" - witches' brew. Or any potent brew for that matter.

Well, it's done now. We're both here and will continue to spill our individual neuroses. I enjoyed reading your blog, Krush, and will continue to visit. You're always welcome here, too.

P.S.

Wow, I just googled neurotika and came up with A LOT of pages, hahaha! So much for uniqueness. Oh well...it's still each one to his or her own neuroses, I guess.

Here goes something...I hope

So, another blog. Yes, I've done some. Never lasted long. Except one I did professionally. That was different. It was work. I'm not doing it anymore. It became too demanding. Too stiff. Too different from who I really am.

I hope this one takes root and grows, though. I intend this to be freer, no boundaries, freewheeling, exploratory. Much like who I am right now. Looking at the horizon 360 degrees. Deciding quite impulsively on what direction to follow moment by moment. At 44, I believe I've earned this freedom.

So I'll be writing my thoughts here. Expect rantings and ravings at times. Perhaps depressed musings intermittently. Fiction when the spirit moves me. I'm thinking of dabbling into erotika, speculative fiction, fantasy, even the macabre. Especially those I wouldn't be able to publish in print in my country. Could be fun! Not that they would be banned if I did print them - they just wouldn't hit the mass market which is the only way to survive in local publishing. Unless you go for the big bucks and do coffeetable books, of course.

Well, let's see how this goes, shall we?
