…In her own words. “There’s a name which echos throughout the Internet since the far 1998, that name is mine.
With no boast but with much glory it’s already more than a decade that everybody “talkes” about me everywhere, in every corner of the web and many times these voices come out from the internet to reach the printed paper and the television up till seeing me first-hand, in flesh and blood, in the many events of the whole world which see me as participant. I’m the first spectator of the story of my “double life”, as in a film or in a good book, where one day I’m the ordinary next-door girl which do the shopping in the supermarket as all of us, while the day after I find myself to walk with two bodyguards next to me and thousands fans which call out my name. There isn’t false modesty in my words, I talk about myself as currently I am. Many people have effigied as “the icon of net-idol”, a generation of high-profile little characters “created” in the net. Many people have praised me and many other have criticized me. Glory can’t exist without the two sides of the coin, this was for the valorous Greek and Roman warriers as for our new-millenium generation.
I was “born” on a small website created by me in 1998 on a free hosting, I grew up on the net till arriving till today, with a background of experience which everybody would envy. I had my bad moments, I fell down, I hurted myself, there were moment when I didn’t believe in me and in my worth any more and others when I wanted to go on and I walked together who has always supported me and has held out to me his hand. I’m going on and I still walk next to my guardian angel with no wings and with a mechanic eye. Now it’s 12 years that I have been walking along this road that I still don’t know where it will lead. Perhaps my decline will come, maybe not, but at least I’ve lived my fifteen minutes of glory, too.
I will grow up and there won’t be and I won’t want that there is place for these things.
I will become mother and insted of dressing myself, I will have to dress the blood of my blood.
I will become granny and when I will sit on my rocking chair with the cover on my legs I will have something to tell my grandchildren. I travelled all over the world, I brought my creativity in any corner of the globe, I spent part of my life to carry on an happyness that to many can be false but for those who believe in fairytales like me is the coronation of thousands of efforts in only one moral victory. A modern fairytale. As in a beautiful midsummer’s night, where all dreams become true. But nothing happens by chance. Everything is to be helped. No wonder my mott of life is a small sentence written in the hymn X, 284 in the Aeneid: “who dares, win” written in unmindful mind by Virgilio.
There isn’t much to say, I leave pages and pages with statistics to whom feel like doing them. The moment when there will be more important things and events will come and they will bring me away from this world which I created but my name will echos for many years on the net and I will do the strike even one more: even though what they will say, my “myth” will die hard.
Because the net, the big global brain of the new millenium doesn’t forget easily.”
