My name

Well it's the first time I decide to have a blog and I still don't know what to write here. I change everyday. I grow everyday. I become child everyday.
And then again and again.
But then I say maybe to talk about myself will make me understand more who I am... and how I change. Yes coz I don't think my readers will be so many. This is my blog I talk to myself, in English, everybody can read it though, this is included in the game :)
I think English also helps me to take some distance from my main character. I become a puppet in my hands. I hyde myself and also show myself at the same time. Nobody looks at the puppeteer.
And a puppet is a puppet! He can say whatever he wants.
The paradoxal thing here is that the puppeteer and the custumer are also the same person. Maikefa his name.
I will start talking about my nickname, Maikefa. This word comes directly from my childhood memories, my personal deformation of the German term Marienkäfer which means ladybug. Coccinella is its Italian translation which has also a nice sound but for me that cute insect - and it's not so easy to be cute being an insect we all know - well, the only exception is l'insetto stecco (my friend Alice Tambellini)..
...I was saying that for me a ladybug is still a maikefa.
and Maikefa represents my very personal deformation of the world.
