Anonymous asked: What are some of the last books you've read? What did you like about them? Were there any that you didn't like or were disappointed in/ indifferent to?
treasuresandtrinkets asked: Are there any adventure books that you really like and would recommend?
lilacsilk asked: How do you come up with ideas for series of artworks? I never can. I can make a pair, or maybe three artwork that compliment each other and then I get bored and move on to a new idea. The problem is I have to complete an AP concentration and, really, I've got nothing. Could you share some of your ideas to give me inspiration? Any help would be a lifesaver at this point.

I used to carry a dream in my right pocket, tucked safely in the furthest corner. I never put anything else in this pocket for fear that by taking them out I would inadvertently pull out the dream and lose it, the way you lose coins and pieces of paper with phone numbers on them. The dream had a soft weight, comforting against my thigh, slightly warm. I would constantly put my hand in my pocket...
I’m glad to see that my increase in swearing hasn’t scared many of you away. I’m sure everything will be back to a more normal, less angry and desperate tone, soon. Or at least I hope.

GOOD INTENTIONS PAVING COMPANY TEASER!
it’s beautiful! I love her.
I don’t know how people achieve to shop for clothes, even on the internet, and keep their sanity. I feel like I should have a huge bottle of wine beside me, possibly another one of vodka or tequila, surely if I was drunk it wouldn’t be as painful.
And frankly, I don’t know why it is so hard, to find pretty, not too expensive dresses in my size. It’s like a fucking treasure...

I think part of my problem is that I don’t exactly understand what I am suppose to do, or how, or how much. Or maybe I do. Maybe I do and I don’t want to acknowledge it and keep my head safely in the sand. Except I know one thing, I am sick (so so sick) and tired (so so tired) of feeling this way.
And it’s entirely my fault. And I thought things would be better here, but...

“When the web started, I used to get really grumpy with people because they put my poems up. They put my stories up. They put my stuff up on the web. I had this belief, which was completely erroneous, that if people put your stuff up on the web and you didn’t tell them to take it down, you would lose your copyright, which actually, is simply not true.
And I also got very...

It is bizarre to me the way we look at the Impressionists. Their paintings with their hazy focus, pastel colors and calm, often domestic, natural subject matters appeals a lot to people nowadays. Maybe because they are “safe” paintings for non-art connoisseurs/scolars/etc. They do not have the rigidity and stark chiaroscuro contrasts of previous paintings, with their biblical,...
