you all may be wondering why I chose the title ‘Jady by Proxy’ for my new website/blog. redrighthandmade.wordpress.com has been working out for me for quite some time, but I wanted a dot com of my own, and so I chose this title for several reasons:

1. My modelmayhem.com profile already fits it.

2. I’ve been using the nickname ‘proxy’ for myself ever since I lived in Chicago, when my sister was very sick, and I felt as I acted as her proxy on a number of occasions.

3. It sounds cool.

4. Words are a proxy for identity; you could read all the blogs in the world and never truly know their authors in the same way you might after 10 minutes, alone, in silence with them. Words are proxies for emotions, actions, things that can never be fully interpreted or mutually agreed upon. 

I blog because I love to write, and have a bad memory, and I need my words to illuminate my life. By proxy.
