I'm bad with words. I'm better at talking than writing, but I really don't talk that much unless someone asks me the right questions. I used to care for a 5-year-old boy with pretty mild autism and I wanted to write down everything he said because he spoke such perfect sentences. I don't see him anymore and I miss him a lot. I had a dream that he visited me and we talked about Angry Birds Star Wars.

Bookbinding

I made this recently at a bookbinding workshop. It was fun making books with a bunch of old ladies. The nicest part was having most of the materials provided for me. All the paper was really nice to work with.

It's a lovely design, and fairly simple to put together!

Kathleen Hanna

"... we learned the idea of amateurism, not as something lower than professionalism, but as something to almost be aspired to, so that there was space for the viewer to kind of insert themselves and to see that they could do what we were doing. And so when we had flubs onstage and stuff like that, girls could see, 'oh, I can get up and make a mistake.' [...] We have to get up on stage and be able to play like Stevie Ray Vaughn because we're so afraid that someone's gonna say, 'you're good for a girl' [...] I think that public failure is incredibly important for young women to see."

Listen to this awesome interview with Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill. I don't think anyone actually reads my blog, but I'm posting this anyway just in case.

My sister gave me a pretty moleskine watercolour sketchbook for christmas. Today I painted a werewolf (me).
