"Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself" -George Bernard Shaw |
When is life supposed to get good? When am I supposed to be enjoying this? I don’t know about you, but i’m ready for something actually positive to happen.

Yoga alphabets
The first letter of a medieval text was often made to look like a picture. In these examples the capital letters are filled with action figures doing all sorts of gymnastic exercises. There is something special about them, because they are all taken not from regular medieval books but from so-called Alphabet Books. These objects were used by decorators: they provided patterns for each letter of the alphabet, in a variety of themes. The decorator picked a letter that he (or his client) liked and duplicated it onto the page he was working on. The diversity of styles is clear from the examples above, which are taken from three different late-medieval pattern books: some are funny, others serious. Most of them feature people in uncomfortable positions, as if they are attending yoga class. These one-letter shows acted as eye candy at the outset of the text: they got the reader in just the right mood.
The images above are from three sources: the Macclesfield Alphabet Book (London, British, Library, MS 8887), fully browsable here; Giovannino de’ Grassi’s notebook (Bergamo, Biblioteca Civica, MS Cassaf. 1.21), viewable here; and the alphabet book of Gregorius Bock (Yale, Beinecke Library, MS 439, of 1510-17), online here.

Moved into my bedroom!
I mean, there are always interesting people. But I’m not looking for anything for a long time.
If you are complaining, however passively, about the pains and aches, physically, emotionally straining, what-have-you...
I’m just so thankful for my friends and also for Morgana.
I <3 you, friends, and I <3 you, Morgana.
If anyone ever needs to apologize deeply to me for anything you can do so by getting me yellow roses and baby’s breath and a Kit-Kat....
Well that was the worst possible thing I probably could have done. Yay for making impulse decisions because I’m under stress!
