For those of you who may be reading my blog and not actually know me, my real name is Alyce. Growing up, this caused lots of irritating movie references. It didn't help that I am blonde and that the train station in the town I grew up in is in fact, called Wonderland Station. So I have always resenting the fictional character. But I can now easily say, the past five months or so, I have in fact been living in Wonderland.
You may, if you are a faithful reader (I am presumptuous enough to think I have at least one or two of you out there) have noticed that I have not updated my blog in quite so time. At first I blamed it on living in a small town in middle America where I had recently moved. How could I update with no material? Then I blamed it on my job on cruise ships (where, trust me, there is more than enough material) and the fact that I have to pay for internet. But ladies and perhaps the lone gentleman who reads my blog, the truth stands that I was in Wonderland. It was a fantasy entirely of my making. I thought that I was a Disney princess or the heroine in a Taylor Swift song and that everything was going to magically fall into place.
One of my last posts was about looking in the mirror. And I hate to say that even after I posted that I still had a hard time taking my own advice. I was sucked into a pretty awful dating situation. As much as everyone likes to tell themselves they are different and it is going to all work out for them, I wasn't different and it didn't work out for me.
Currently a lot of Ben and Jerry's and chick flicks are helping me get over that. But I can't help to think that I only have myself to blame. So for 2013 I am definitely going to blog more, including dishing on the shitshow that has been my love life the past six months and why you should never ever be as dumb as me. So stayed tuned and hopefully, learn from my mistakes, because in 2012 I learned there's still some shit I wish I knew...
