Cherries

Where did my cherry obsession from? I can not tell you the exact date of when it started. I do know that there are a million and one factors that play into this almost religious experience with cherries. Many people have asked me and now I am going to try to break it down.

* When I was in 6th grade we were required to read the book "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton. I adored this book. Everything about this book spoke to me. The main female in this book was named Cherry Valance.

* The punk/rockabilly scene. I am a punk chick at heart. I love the music, the clothing and the culture. Cherries were the rage in the 1950's decorating and clothing style. Anything from this era makes my heart happy.

* Of course I would be doing myself a huge injustice if I didn't include the sexual innuendos that the simple word Cherry means. I am a very sexual girl. I have been told that everything about me gives off a sexual vibe. From the way I look at someone to the way I speak.

To me they are perfect and pure. Sexual and sweet. I didn't choose my name on a whim or because I thought it sounded sexy. I chose it because that's who I am.
