Here goes nothin'

Many of you may feel that my relentless Facebook status updates would satisfy my need for attention. However, some friends have decided to tease me with a dangerous thought for months: CREATE A BLOG. I will never mention the individuals names because many of you may want to kill them, but never the less, the internet has received the worst gift ever: FrozenLimeLight. 

My name selection has one foo-foo and metaphorical meaning. It represents the fact that being a figure skater and musical theatre performer, I have spent my entire life as a legend in my livingroom. (Thanks, Mom for not having another child. I would have less wall space!) Actually, not just my livingroom, but the living room of everyone in my family. Not only do I have only child syndrome, I have only cousin, nephew, grandchild, and great grand child syndrome. Shockingly, for a family that carries out divorces so masterfully, child bearing is not one of our redeeming qualities. So, I am frozen in the limelight of my family. No where to hide, run, and no option but to carry on the Briccotto name! While this title comes with unlimited (and appreciated) attention, gifts, and support, it also comes with unrelenting pressure to ensure my family's name doesn't end with my legacy. It would be a legacy difficult to see through the red-wine stains.

If you think this blog will solely be filled with the same information you encounter on my Facebook Statuses, you are correct. Here's to many years of the random ramblings on love, wine, politics, family, food, theatre, skating, education, and more.

Here's to recording the life events of the last Briccotto, FrozenLimeLight. (BTW, I pray this Blog is only a springboard for a reality series. My ass is totally better then Kim K's)
