Winter

Not cold - just shy. 

I think it's a mistake made too often. 

Outro

I'm the king of my own land 

Facing tempests of dust, I'll fight until the end. 

Creatures of my dreams raise up and dance with me!

Now and forever, I'm your king!

My latest creation from my machine. 

Sadly, it will probably be a while now until my next. 

Time, space and resources are at an all time low :(

As I sit here struggling to pump out an assignment due in 3 days (if you know me, my literary masterpieces are normally completed 2 days before due date), I can't help wanting to dedicate a post to the late Kim Jong-Il. 

I don't want to endorse his ways or celebrate his life. I just want to commemorate his bad-ass sense of style and his policies that crown him sneakiest bastard of the 20th century.

Did you know (no you probably didn't), Kim Jong-Il ordered farms in the 1970s to grow opium poppies that were then processed into heroin as a means of boosting the economy. 

Children would work in the farms after school and villages were set production targets that had to be met. 

Also, meth is trafficked into China across the border by poor North Koreans escaping and needing bartering leverage. 

P.s. My assignment is covering drug trafficking in North Korea. I didn't just stumble onto the weird part of the internet. 

A pretty f-ing practical suit for summer time. 

The warmest of warm hats with super fashun sunglasses. I think I own his coat in green.

Oh how time does fly. 

It's been two months since I've been home!

So what the hell have I been doing? 

I've climbed a mountain - quite literally.

 

I've farewelled a dear and close friend, who is off on a 5 month adventure to try new food, see extraordinary things and meet people with tales to tell. 

I've returned to my saviour of sanity, my sewing machine.  I love making little one off pieces like this top.

I flew to Melbourne to visit a friend who just recently moved there to start her grad job. 

  

I celebrated the 22nd birthdays of two of my oldest friends 

10 years with Trew and 16 years with Verity - 10 & 16 years of giggles, bitching and damn good cake. 

 

I celebrated the milestone that is 21, of my real life china doll.

 

I've made sure to put those restless feelings of reverse homesickness at ease. 

 

And I've just started helping out with Cancer Council Qld. The teddy bears make it that extra bit rewarding ^_^  

So I guess that's it.
