i couldn't have asked for a better weekend

3 days. 7 states. Roughly 17 hours in a car.
2 plane rides, 5 and a half hours.
Hardly any sleep.

A countless number of hugs. Smiling so hard my face hurt.
Laughing so hard we scared the people around us.



Worth every minute.



Thank you for making my life better.

my heart eyes, let me show you them

its like everything i love about life got put into a t-shirt



I'm attending SAIC in the fall and as a new student I get this t-shirt as a gift. Seriously, I have never been more certain that I picked the right school in my life.



No really, it's a ROBOT. HOLDING A SWORD. RIDING A T-REX!

sentimental fool

I keep all of this stuff. They were collecting in a pile on my dresser next to my lamp and the stuffed giant squid I got at the Field Museum. I remember every single show, there's a story to go with every ticket stub.


no retreat, no regrets

happy birthday





I don't even care how cheesy it sounds, this dude changed my life in so many ways and I am so much happier for it. I wish him all the happiness in the world.

Quimby's is just about the coolest damn independent book store I've ever been to.

This exhibit was one of the coolest things I saw during my last trip to Chicago. If you're ever there, you need to go the Art Institute and check this out.

mushycat

I'd like to draw your attention to one of the coolest places I've ever stumbled across on the internet. I have been ordering kick ass buttons from Mushycat since I was in high school. (For those who do not know, I graduated in 2002, so that is a long ass time.)

Here you can find the widest variety of punk, feminist, lgbtq, political/anti-war and otherwise just cool buttons of any place I have ever found. And if there's something that you think would make the coolest button ever, you have the option of choosing a custom design for the same price as any other button. Just email a picture or describe what you want and it's yours. It might even be added to the lineup! (I designed this one!)

In addition to buttons, you can also order sticker version of every button available. (I cannot tell you how many of my notebooks and sketchbooks were and still are decorated with these.) A few years back, Mushycat also started making shirts, underwear, postcards, and bumper stickers.

The most amazing thing about Mushycat is that is run by one awesome dude by the name of Ken. He makes everything himself, and he has gone to a great deal of a trouble to make sure everything he makes is environmentally responsible. Everything he makes is made especially for you, when you order it. And if that wasn't enough, 10% of all profits are donated to charities like RAINN.
