Versatile Blogger Awards

Gosh! The fantastic Ella of Gorilla Legs has nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award!! Thank you so much, Ella!

Okay, frankly I'm struggling somewhat to think of fifteen blogs to nominate. The thing is, I don't read that many blogs, and instead I mostly look at websites and webcomics. So, here are three blogs that I nominate:
8tokyo
The Frill Seekers
Slightly Biased Manga

Okay, here are seven things about myself:
This was a very unusual scene
  • I have a cat named Sparkle, and a dog named Shippo. The cat is mean yet gorgeous, the dog is a babe.
  • I have played the violin for many year. One composer who's music I like to play is Schubert.

  • I love Karen Kilimnik. Another of my favourite artists is Takashi Murakami.
 The matching shoes, with awesome socks.
  • I own a fairly awesome black and white '80s jumpsuit, which I like well enough to have bought a matching pair of shoes.
  • I go through periods where I discover an objectively terrible crime show, become obsessed with it, watch nearly all of the episodes, and then grow bored with it. This has happened to me so far with Poirot, Criminal Minds, and Law and Order.
  • Speaking of Criminal Minds, I have an entire bookmark folder dedicated to Matthew Gray Gubler. This video is my favourite.
  • I am a fairly good baker. I love the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook.
  • My week has wildly fluctuated between being completely terrible and mostly fine. I'm sure that I will start regularly updating soon, as well as finish that short story of mine. I know that this is like the third post in which I've said this, but technically some of my above facts mentioned two things, so I feel like this is still a list of seven unknown things about me.

Okay, I hope that this list has been somewhat interesting. Thank you again, Ella! Especially for that ultra supportive comment you made on that really sad post of mine. It really cheered me up! (⌒▽⌒)☆

On Revelations


Hi,
Firstly I would just like to thank all of you people for reading this fledgling blog. I am sure that you are all awesome people, and I really appreciate that you've taken the time to read what I've written. Thank you, especially, people who have made positive comments. Thank you again, dear readers, for making me feel like less of  insignificant blip in this world.

I've had a pretty bad week. Some good things have happened, like I've started work on the second part of my story about grief, and I'm in my new house, but lot's of the rest has been terrible. Mainly, I've had a revelation. It's not the sort of revelation which blasts all sadness away, which makes you see the light at the end of the tunnel, or gives you the feeling that you're riding a unicorn, and have slayed all of your  dragons. No. It's the sort of revelation that wraps its tentacles around your throat, and drags your now limp body deep into its pit of despair. I won't share this thought, because in my opinion it's pretty triggering, but I will say that the worst thing about it is that a large part of my heart and soul think that it's true.

I will be fine, I'm sure. Until that happens, I would really appreciate any virtual internet hugs, or positive thoughts that you could send my way. Thank you.

P.S. This is a gif of a paper phoenix that I made a few months ago. I hope that one day, too, I will rise from the ashes.
