I am completely bonkers, welcome to my world. Forever starts today, as In This Moment would say, best band ever. I collect books which interest me. Music takes over my life and I am still firmly attachted to my inner child. http://twitter.com/#!/kool_kidiie I love to tweet, too often some might say.

PENGUINS!

I made this comic entirely on computer, to see if I could! I guess I can? Neat!

Hey, don’t be an asshole! When you reblog a piece of art and write “ugh I can’t believe this idiot, I hate this so much,” the person who made it sees that. Would you enjoy waking up to that every day? I don’t think so.

Be nice! It’s underrated!

This needs to be seen by everyone.

All fabric chopped and pinned. What a way for a 20 year old woman to spend her Friday night. I shall finish my night by knitting a co-worker a blanket for her upcoming grandson. I do lead an interesting life. I wish I had friends.

This is my research on magic, and it's conjurors. They have moved on a lot from witches nowadays. Most of my research is Fairuza Baulk in The Craft. The greatest witch film I have ever seen. She is amazing in it and I love her character. Most of my research shows them is ripped black clothes, their are in rags. I most certainly won't be having this. They will be well dressed, but they won't be just witches. They will be ordinary creatures with different levels of magic ability. Magic opens up thousands of doors. This is why I have chosen to include it so much.

This is my elf page, which you will gather by the word Elf written in thick black at the top. I have gathered a great deal of evidence and research on the topic of Elves. I have learnt so much about them in all their various forms. Including those which help old Father Christmas. From what I can understand is a lot of people merge their characteristics with pixies and fairies. My elves will be without wings, similar to that of the elves in Heitz's The Dwarves series. They are creatures of beauty and order. Which Tolkien also used this idea that they are higher beings. Elves think of themselves as higher beings, close to gods. Tolkien's idea. But the elves are not. I've depicted them as not the enemy as such, but a rude arrogant race, that only like themselves. They will have the characteristic, and iconic leaf shaped ears. Thanks to Tolkien again. The creature is of Norse mythology like a lot of our folklore, and are as old as the mythology of Germanic elves. I also love the idea of dark elves, not to the extent of the Älfs. The main character, Rowly is himself an elf, but he is different, he is tolerant of others. He is kind and courteous. Also curious.

~copious swearing~

I feel like crying and crying and crying. I’m gonna bake instead, as that seems more productive.

[kool-kidiie]

Baking usually makes me feel better when I am like that. Bread is good as you get to punch it.

[lizowlet-deactivated20210628]

I think trying...

[kool-kidiie]

Brilliant. It shall keep you going. :)

[kool-kidiie]

A days knitting has caused this. This is what it is like to live with a knitter, if anyone wanted to know. We do this..... A lot.

I think trying to make bread would only upset me more :P (It rarely works for me. Oh well.)

Pear-cinnamon crumble, on the other hand? Delicious and almost guaranteed to work :D

[kool-kidiie]

How was it? It sounded lovely. Crumble is so simple and so pleasing.

A new dress, a new wig. Not sure about her leggings. It was such a bugger to get the right leg on that I can't bare to take them off again.

Knitting!

I’m always curious how many knitters of my age are out there.

When you’re between the age of 15 and 30 and knit on a regular basis, please like or reblog =)

In my experience, writers tend to be really good at the inside of their own heads and imaginary people, and a lot less good at the stuff going on outside, which means that quite often if you flirt with us we will completely fail to notice, leaving everybody involved slightly uncomfortable and more than slightly unlaid. So I would suggest that any attempted seduction of a writer would probably go a great deal easier for all parties if you sent them a cheerful note saying “YOU ARE INVITED TO A SEDUCTION: Please come to dinner on Friday Night. Wear the kind of clothes you would like to be seduced in.” And alcohol may help, too. Or kissing. Many writers figure out that they’re being seduced or flirted with if someone is actually kissing them.

Neil Gaiman on flirting with / seducing writers (via illfightyourdemons)

So true.
