Abnormally attracted to sin

I like airplanes. I like anywhere that isn't a proper place. I like in-betweens.

Oh, hello! I know I haven't been very active lately (and here "lately” functions as a euphemistic way of addressing the past few years), so I must thank all you marvelous people who have kept following me nevertheless. I do intend to post more regularly, because this blog is very, very dear to me, and I would not wish for it to drift into oblivion.

In the meantime, I’d like to invite you to visit my new Tumblr, dedicated to my writings, musings and morsels of inspiration. I hope you’ll enjoy it:

Love,
