about the diary
It all started when I first heard the song “Apricot Tea” by The Robot Ate Me; I literally fell in love with it. I favored this song mainly because it reminds me of my not-so-little sister (who also happens to be nicknamed “tangerine”). I decided to adopt the alias “apricot” & it has become an intimate part of who I am ever since.
I’ve been itching to try some real apricot tea, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.
Also, à la mode means “in or according to fashion.” As much as I like dessert, there is no reference to an ice cream topped pie here. I do enjoy making fashion statements, as they are a part of my life. I share them here, with the hopes that I don’t seem the least bit pretentious.
My real name is Ev`Yan; said “Ev-Yon” as though it is two words combined into one. (No one ever says my name right.) I have been writing since I was 9 years old. I have many completed diaries sitting in a rather large chest in my very small apartment; each one of my Chapters (as I like to call them) are very dear to me. Writing has always been a huge part of me, for pleasure & for soul-searching. It is a humbling, thought-provoking experience & one that I wish to share with whomever will listen. I am quite the private person but long desperately to reveal my inner-self to the world, as contradicting as that is. This is the best way to do it, I think. Not to mention, it’s quite therapeutic.
I wouldn’t call this a fashion blog, nor would I call it a photo journal; this is my diary. & welcome to it. :]
