If people had taglines, what would yours be?

My blog has a tagline of A Hillbilly Diva’s Blatherings which I really like.  The blog is just that.  My thoughts on sundry things, events, etc.  It doesn’t have a strong focus other than Appalachia and my love for this place.  And diva?  Well, that goes without saying.

But do I want to use that as my tagline?  Probably not.  It doesn’t encompass all of who I am which gets me to the rub.  Am I looking for a tagline for me as a writer?  Or as an overall person? 

And that gets messy.  At least right now, my identity is so wrapped up in writing that it is hard to separate it from me.  It took me a long time to find my life’s calling and I’m not going to abandon it now.  While my writing may or may not scream Appalachia, I’m not sure I do though the diva is certainly on point.

I use “former military brat” in my bio although former is a misnomer.  Just like there’s no such thing as an ex-Marine, there’s no such thing as an ex-military brat.  We’re lifers.  That comes a little closer to getting to the root of me but is not exactly understood by civilians.  But if I tell a bunch of brats that, they can instantly figure out a bunch of things about me instantly.

So what could I say that would help most people understand who I am in a few short words? 

I don’t know. 

Maybe just Complicated.  But aren’t we all?  That doesn’t tell anyone anything.  A friend describes himself as an Artiste, which fits him to the t.  Musician, photographer, videographer, writer, journalist, poet – it covers most of the bases, though it leaves out husband, father, and cat whisperer. 

Maybe Navel Gazer.  I am very introspective and seem to get more so as I age. I am still busy trying to tease out who and what I am.  But that has a negative connotation.

I’m not getting very far, am I?

I’m rather fond of Mazda’s Zoom Zoom.  I think it’s genius.  It sticks with you and grabs you at the same time. It tells you a lot without actually telling you much of anything.  I like the enigma of it.

Maybe An Enigma.  Lord knows I’ve been told that often enough over the years.  Perhaps Connie:  an enigma who doesn’t fit in boxes.

Quirky?  Eccentric?  Eccentric but approachable.  Kind of like that one, Or maybe Renaissance Woman in the Making

I don’t know.  This is hard.
