So – I haven’t been writing yes? I have been busy… yes. I say that EVERY TIME… yes. Ok so last month was Supanova, my yearly nerd convention where I sell my stuff and generally spend three tired, sleepless and mildly croaky days having epic fun. This year was no different, I tabled with the Geeky Bee!!! it was awesome. my lovely co-tabler A and I I sold all my stuff! – it was great! (ok maybe not all my stuff, like I have two items left – but whatever GREAT SUCCESS) Things are a bit different this year.  Table prices went up to borderline exorbitant prices, sharing the table was a huge advantage since it cut my overhead cost by quite a bit and it was so good to have the company because really, despite my requests to be put next to Nekochii or I Like Shinies or Mogo & Co - I–was left all by my lonesome! A very busy T'emporium Further, we were split into the weirdest vendor categories ever, with hand made products being classified in the most conf...

Dear Dr Angelou I'm going to be cheesy for just a moment. Sorry, my bandwagon is going to hitch up with all the others for today, how can it not? You were one of the greatest, most shining of writers in this world, and have left us all the poorer for it.  I know you're in a better place, wherever it is you wanted to go after this life.  I know that despite your absence, your work will speak to the next generations and hopefully forge new thinkers, new speakers of peace the way you were. Maya Angelou, you saved me, or rather, your poem 'A brave and startling truth' saved my life. And you'll have to forgive me, this rant will ramble and have absolutely no structure (which would be a shame because you structured your poetry so beautifully and subtly…) I have always teetered from being too sad to formulate words on some days and on others too happy to bring myself to believe that anything could ever go wrong.  Such is the way so many of us...

Oh my god, Its May... I AM SO SORRY. (ok, maybe not SO sorry, but I am sorry...) So, so, sorry Can I use 'I've been busy' as an excuse? because I have been, really, for realsies. I feel a little stretched thin nowadays, which probably isn't good but on the other hand, I enjoy being able to fill my days with something to do. I am filling my hours with house chores and arts and crafts, and I have decided to be really really silly, and have decided to compete in this competition so i can win sweet sweet BPRD lootz.  I am really hoping to get something really nice done and get a tad of attention from someone in the magical cosmic world of... something. Also, I just really really want Mignola-Senpai to notice me. I have been also completely overwhelmed with family things, my niece and nephew are the cutest things that ever patootied and my Sundays are usually spent driving to Cherrybrook (please note, I can drive, doesn't mean I like doing it), so i ca...

Errr… happy new year and two months?! (disclaimer - GIF PARTY BELOW) Let's do this right Hello – We survived! So – Hmmm, lots of stuff happened… And then I burned out – major – crash. and. burn. Oh my god… its been a cray-cray past two months. I mean c'mon, Christmas – who doesn’t get insanely busy during that time?.. ok, people who don’t celebrate it.   But still, here in Aus, its summer and its all about going out and going to the beach and festivals and party and the Sydney Festival was on and damn, so much stuff has been happening. I mean, what's with all my buds suddenly getting married everywhere? Check this out: Friday night; hen's night out for one bride (sangria, sangria, sangria); Saturday all day; hen's 'tea' (as in drinking tea but mostly drinking vodka punch out of teacups) in the Blue Mountains (beautiful views, hilarious talks about adult toys and champagne) Sunday; quiet daytime wedding with friends and family; F...

Oh my god – would you look at that – I'M NOT DEAD!!!! Its like a Christmas Miracle. Yeah… well… I technically was. I actually got off my ass and did something!! And I have done many things in the past few months. One – I have finished my masters! I AM A MASTER ….i am a master…. master, master, master…. Yes, I have finished my masters studies – and now that its done, I will never make any intellectual propositions ever again.   I shall cease to cogitate at higher levels from now on. All I will think about from now on are kittens and Turians.   (And shoes) - And Christmas!!!! Seriously, these studies have sucked the everliving crapping life out of me.   I feel so tired and so, so drained and oddly, slightly lost.   I feel like there should be something I should be stressing about, but I no longer have any assignments or exams to stress out over. Its weird, I have yet to make up my mind as to whether this may lead me to darker paths – like...
