You guys, I hate the flu. It sneaked up on me all gross and annoying and it won't go away :( I'm sick of coughing every 2 minutes :(((

Ahh, before I forget again...


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY chaoticallyclev!


I am sorry I couldn't draw you a b-day card on time! If you give me a prompt I'll doodle you something quick! :)?




And here are some drive-by bits and pieces!

qldfloodauction is still going on! There's still time for you to offer/bid on the main auction (and hey, a delicious account has been set up to make the browsing easier :))

bandomvalentine is going to open the secondwave claiming soon! Go and snatch some amazing prompts and then fill my life with joy, okay? <333

inception_art is going to host its first fest :D Prompting is open to everyone so keep your eyes peeled for the prompt post and then go crazy with it \o/

In news that interest no one at all, the Christmas gift from my sister finally arrived :D She got me The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories <333 I am besotted with it and the little red button! &mysister;

Also, it's been a while since last time and I friended some people lately so here, let's know each other better with a meme (stolen from ohohstarryeyed):

In response to this post, ask me about the first time I did/felt/knew something. It can be anything—the first time I ate Italian food, the first time someone I knew died, the first time I left the country, my first OTP, the first time someone saw me naked in a sexual situation. I’ll answer in the thread. Then (if you like) put it on your journal and I’ll ask you questions.

I have the tiny book of tiny stories! My sister and I have been cooing over it. It's adorable. I love the one about the kaleidoscope best, I think. ♥

I want to think of a question to ask you, but I don't know which one! Tell me about the first time you ate Italian food! :DDDD /bad joke

No. Tell me about the first time you...really connected with a piece of art/literature. Like, you looked at it and thought YES I FEEL THIS TOO.

Isn't it adorable?! I keep picking it up and opening it at random and then make hands and cooing sounds over it <333 My favourite today is the humming bird one, though I have a soft spot for the last one, with the clock hands, because it reminds me of a silly commentfic I wrote once :P

Weeeell... The first time I ate Italian food would have been when I was around 26 days old and my grandpa thought it was about time I had a taste of his wine with homemade polenta. Slept like a log for 4 hours straight ;D

Ah, let me think... there's this scene in Baricco's Novecento where the main character (who is still a kid at this point) takes his place in the world he lives in with a complete disregard for common laws and rules; he just sits at his place and is. The fact that he knew already who he was and didn't want or need an outside, government-based source to make it legit made me breathe more easily all of a sudden. I think I was 15 at the time...

When I was little I would never sleep. One time, my parents tried putting a tiny bit of vodka into my milk. It didn't really work, but today, vodka is hands down my favourite spirit. :D

Ahahah, I see all parents at some point try the alcohol route! Mine never tried vodka, but I'm told warm milk and whiskey was a great success :D ...and, uh, still is *clutches her Baileys bottle*
