... just say “to hell with it”. then, you’d pull your suitcase from under the bed and think “i’m going to visit that brother/sister/old bestfriend/ aa sponsor i never talked to anymore”. and you’d wake up at a new plane, and you’d get lost on your way to their house but you’d have never felt so found as when we were smiling alone in the freezing cold of an unknown land’s winter. milkteeth @tumblr

My nephew is a ferret

Can you believe that as of a few days ago, I've been on LiveJournal for eight goddamn years? I can barely believe that myself. So many things have happened to me in the intervening years. And here's another: This is my first attempt to draw little Luna, and I think it came out rather well. It turns out that babies make great stix because human eyes are already full-size at birth. The ...

Niecephew Adventures

Join me behind the cut for... Yes, I know I already have True Workplace Adventures, but it looks as if those won't be updated anytime soon, as all my officey clients have pulled out on me. No more Mammon, no more Kismet, no more Off-World Colonies. Besides, I am a venturesome sort. I am in California now, visiting Aglet and his parents, for a very special reason: we are awaiting the ...

Slow down you crazy child, you're so ambitious for a juvenile

Slow down you're doing fine, you can't be everything you want to be before your time. Too bad but it's the life you lead, you're so ahead of yourself that you forget what you need. You got your passion you got your pride but dont you know only fools are satisfied.       "I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live." This week has been a little bit of everything but ...

A morning sugar rush

    Monday morning, i had a sugary chocolatey breakfast. It was very english with danish pastries and brownies, but felt a little sick of chocolate after that haha. I love brownies, piping hot with the right amount of moisture they taste so good. And even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the top, but that's for tea i guess. So how has everyone been? A week of march holiday's ...

Maybe redemption has stories to tell, maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

"And of cos, as it always does in a perfectly flat place without trees, it looked as if the sky came down to meet the grass in front of them." My apologies, the song's a bit soft!!! You have to turn your volume up, but not max because the chorus is fine. Love the song, it sounds so sad hmmm? The few days with my lovely may friend was hilarious. scream faces on glass windows, little ...

Being a Woman: Germaine Greer, Caster Semenya and gender paranoia

... reaction to the Caster Semenya drama. Warning: somewhat sweary. This is painful for me. I was scribbling notes in 'The Female Eunuch' and 'The Whole Woman' before I lost all my milkteeth; I worship her irreverent, punchy prose; but there's no escaping it. These days, Germaine Greer is a prejudiced, ignorant dickwad. In her rather confused verdict on the Caster Semenya controversy , Greer ...

005; Dog Summer Blues

... seize the doomed bug between his teeth, snapping quickly. The kit turned his head to look at Rune curiously then, the spindly legs of the cricket trapped between the ivory gleam of his sharp milkteeth. As Rune watched, the kit snapped once greedily, and the cricket's legs  that had bristled around his muzzle disappeared down his throat in one swallow. Rune's face wrinkled in disgust. "Barbaric...
