 Day 15: Family Portrait.

Shit just got crazy up in here, photoshop accident in the second one but I might keep it, is it ugly? I can't tell. I like that it looks like they are on gold foil. These are my parents although it doesn't really look like them. I'm halfway done the challenge (!) and Esther and I said we would get ourselves treats at Day 15, so tomorrow I'm gonna look for a Treaty McTreaterson for myself. I love treats. I might get this scarf I've been eyeing at this store by my work, if it's not too exspense.

Day 14: Favourite Fairytale.
I don't really have a favourite fairytale, but Rumpelstiltskin is a good one, by good I really mean weeeeird. The King in the story is all like I'mma lock you up and hold you prisoner until you spin me lots of gold, and when you're done I'll reward you by marrying you - some reward that is. Or maybe I'll just kill you, 'cause I'm a douche.
But here I've deviated from the original story, bitch is spinning her own gold, not that kook Rumps. Anyways, I've also included some other gold things as bonus! Gold pen I bought for today's challenge, so fun! Midas pen. And the new(ish) light in my room. It's a spinning diamond, it's very witchcraft-glam, richcraft?

Day 13: Comic.
Just a little comic of what I did after work today, I got a very large box of salmon sashimi all to myself but now I feel pretty sick. I literally nom nom nom'ed out-loud in a scary monster voice down the street from the store to my house, good thing noone knows me in my neighbourhood.
NOM NOM NOM.

To Ramona

Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
But it grieves my heart, love,
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist.
It's all just a dream, babe,
A vacuum, a scheme, babe,
That sucks you into feelin' like this.

Day 12: Most Recent Accomplishment.

I recently finished a spool of dental floss! Yayyyy, that never happens I usually lose the container or forget about flossing before I finish the pack. Also, yay for minute accomplishments, aim low folks, you will not be disappointed.

Jane

Ain't there anyone here for love? Like right now here in Hong Kong. I mean, whhhhere are all the hot uncomplicated lesbians, or like the cute ones who are really good at art stuff? Where are yous? I is tired of waiting. 
But yes, Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, so good and camp, right? I used to be obsessed with Marilyn Monroe movies in middle school, I still watch them when I'm feeling down. I'm all about Lauren Bacall and Marilyn in How to Marry a Millionaire, sigh.

Day 11: Turning Point in Your Life.
The Power of Beauty, Nancy Friday.

Enter my first* accidental foray into feminism. In my then-boyfriend's bedroom, I had inadvertently picked up a book I once saw the cool girl in my homeroom reading. But turns out in my naiveté I had misread the titles and the homeroom-cool-girl had actually been reading The Beauty Myth. That fact alone validates my homeroom girl crush, I mean, what kind of a tenth grader reads Naomi Wolf? It took me four years to finish it, embarrassingly enough. Eventually, both books would go on to have a huge impact on me, Friday's simply because it was anecdotal enough to draw me in and simple enough for a budding feminists to understand.

*No wait, or was this my first foray into feminism?

Day 10: Favourite Candy.
Here's some salt water taffys for you. I think they are pretty delicious, I used to get them a lot last year when I lived near the Bulk Barn on the Danforth. A little tidbit: I wasn't allowed to eat candy or drink formula as a little kid, the sugar would make me go crrrraazzzy.

Sarah Kay

I would really like to have children with her.
An(other) inspiring TED Talk, this time on: art making, finding your voice and also, passion.

Day Deadlines-are-Only-a-Guideline: Favourite Animated Character.
Moo-moo-moomintroll, I choo-choo-choose you. Moomintroll and his friends are so cool, and his siblings are adopted and his family are known throughout the valley for being weird, and we also have pretty similar values. And the illustrator of the series, Tove Jansson, is a lesbian! The character Too-Ticky is based on her life partner. It's all so wonderful.

Oh my god, who even knows what day it is. It's disorienting, all these drawings too many goals. I'm so far behind, I just went ahead with Day 9: Favourite TV Show. I actually have a lot of favourite TV shows, I used to be all like, oh no, I don't watch TV, I guess I forgot watching internet TV counts too. Anyways, if you crop this picture right I think it would make a pretty nice 'Prettiest Eyes' badge for the Pawnee Goddesses - rawr.
