It's a funny statement to say, because I've never heard anyone talk about the "Cotton Gin era" or the "Airship era", but our society has become seriously obsessed with these little electronic devices over the past decade. I own't lie: I am anchored to ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/11/why-dont-you-give-me-a-call/ This morning I woke up queasy and sick to my stomach, and I resolved to spend my entire day sitting in a dark room, wishing I was dead. Happily, that didn't come to pass! Mom dragged me out of the house (Noooo sunlight, I shall melt!) and we ran errands. I ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/11/the-clouds-that-pass-me-by/ Today I am working on finalizing my calligraphy project. Not a lot of people understand my need and love for lettering. Some could say it's inherited, or an addiction, but I find nothing more soothing than watching ink slide off of the base of a metal nib and soak into the ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/11/sweet-talk-keeps/ Woo , yes I am still here. Man, I am really starting to wonder if I have enough time to update this. I will work on being consistent, I promise! Quite a few things have happened in the last week, apparently! I now have a new president-elect (!!!) and also will be ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/11/56/ Well, it's officially November. The clocks have been turned back, Halloween is over, and now I have to get back to my crazy schedule. I had this weekend off because my friend Sav came into town. We talked politics, halloween, and sexy shoes. What more do you need? Meanwhile, enjoy an image ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/11/for-i-am-not-the-one/ Now, there is something you need to know about me. I love animals. I would have had several dogs and cats running about my house if I could, but I can't. My Dad? Dislikes pets. Of all kind. (Well, fish are okay, but nobody else likes fish, so... yeah.) No pets ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/10/the-city-of-wonder/ Apologies for lack of posting. I've been pretty overwhelmed the last two weeks with school and work, not to mention the sudden onslaught of midterms. Am I the only student who always forgets about midterms? Once I get into the daily routine of doing homework, I get completely surprised and thrown ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/10/i-am-the-one-hiding/ In my senior year of high school, I wanted to be an english major. I decided to tackle an extra English class (in addition to my AP course) as a boost to my high-school transcripts and for extra reading and enlightenment. Instead of discovering the greats of literature, I discovered ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/10/someday-love-will-find-you/ Ah, fall! The leaves are changing colour, it's finally cold and damp outside, and I've again started studying humanist bookhand. To say that humanist is my favourite script would be a complete lie. I am just as in love with it as I am with bone, versals and the ever-faithful neuland, ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/10/its-that-time-again/ It's been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry about that! I started school this week, and my entire life can be summarized with a speeding car chase, complete with honking horns, shrieks of terror, and that camera effect where everything blurs and you can't quite tell what you're looking at. Or so it feels ... http://inkytwist.forgedpixels.com/2008/09/whew/
