COME CLOSER AND SEE, SEE INTO THE TREES

ps. this song could totally be my theme song, reminds me of fun times in the good old days so much... just in case anything happens to me, i want this and vivian girls- death to be played at my funeral! and a bunch of other songs, i will make a list soon.

pps: this (and everything i write here) is my very personal opinion. what i write here feels right for me, which doesn't make it right for everyone else. i didn't mean to make it look like sleeping is better than partying either. different people just have different ideas of fun!

dear diary,

sometimes life really can be so unfair to people. do things even happen for a reason? my life is treating me so well, sometimes i think that one day it will all come back to me...

ps. this is lilith, my cousin judith's cat. she is probably the most open and friendly cat i've ever met! and isn't she beautiful! i wish she was mine. ♥

my parents outside their house. SO glad i still have them both.
(in the background: an icecream paste up i made when i was 16! haha!)

ps. i watched this movie today and was pleasantly surprised!

dear diary,

as i keep getting a lot of emails asking this: i am taking commissions for tattoo artwork! please email me at frl.zucker@gmail.com for more info.

"AFTER ALL, TO THE WELL ORGANIZED MIND, DEATH IS BUT THE NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE." (ALBUS DUMBLEDORE)

dear diary,

this post is dedicated to astrid, my mum's bff. this is also a reminder that really great friends are rare and so hard to find, and you can lose them so quickly. nothing new really, but sometimes you have to be reminded. so please GO and show them how much you love them! NOW. (i know this is CORNY but who cares really? if you read this diary regularly then you might have noticed that i get quite corny from time to time, but WHATEVER. some things just need to be said.)

DREAM SCHOOL

dear diary,

i dreamed of this exact scene last night, only difference: i was him. what is going on? i keep thinking that it would be nice to turn my brain off.

ps. i highly recommend this album! because 1.) it's ace. 2.) it's all i'm listening to these days, and 3.) it's perfect for rainy mornings on the metro! plus the cover art is AWESOME!

CUTE BUT DANGEROUS

dear diary,

i made some more drawings! let me introduce you: me and hannah, enid and miranda. enid and miranda are for sale in my etsy shop.

ps. miss tukru finally opened her distro! you can get some of my zines over there, among others of my very favorite ones! you go girl!!

i might be wrong- we don't wear colours

WARSCHAUER BRÜCKE

ps. jk rowling talks about failure, the power of imagination and gay wizards. when will she finally get the nobel prize? and will she speak at my graduation too, please? i could listen to that accent forever.

dear diary,

these originals are for sale now in my etsy shop! i had a very hard time deciding whether i should sell these because they mean so much to me... i spent so much time making them too! days and days... but i decided to let it go, it's a very good exercise for me. i should probably burn everything i make afterwards in order to practice letting go of things! for now, selling will do. you can see more in my etsy or here and here.

ps. i ask myself this every day since i moved to berlin.
pps. this is the best idea i've come across lately!! ♥

"IT'S ALL ABOUT PLANNING THINGS HERE, NOT MAKING THEM."

well i'm definitely more into making things.

ps. i didn't know riot grrrl is an outfit now...

what i did at the weekend: schoolwork.

ps. this must be even better than the magic wand! hihi

HERE I AM, A RABBIT HEARTED GIRL

dear diary,

i saw this earlier today and it almost made me cry. i'm flattered... but i also believe that there's nothing so superspecial about me really. anything i can do you can do too. i neither have a secret talent nor am i gifted. i'm not trying to be modest, this is truly my honest opinion. reading this also made me think of how i am constantly comparing myself to others aswell, how i always think others are so much greater than me, draw better than me, do much cooler things than me, are happier and prettier than me, etc. i don't believe this is a healthy habit. you and i aren't any better or worse than the people around us, i am slowly learning this. everyone can make something from nothing everyday in their own way. you don't have to watch people doing cool things, you can be the one doing those things! you've got the power! seriously.

(or as to put it with evanna lynch's words: "believe you deserve everything you dream about.")



ps. jona of the blow a.k.a. Y.A.C.H.T. remixing the fabulous stains: sweet!
pps. ♥

i'm emo

dear diary,

on that kathleen hanna quote i posted yesterday: i guess i forgot to say something. i think astrild got it right. of course we should never stop talking to people! of course one should never assume to know someone else's opinion already before actually talking to them. what still annoys me though is people telling me we don't need feminism anymore these days. i don't need to convince these people (and again: kathleen, it's not only men who talk like this!) that feminism is important, because it's just a waste of time and energy.

ps. i miss strawberries already... it feels like it was ages ago that we made and ate those cupcakes.
pps. i've got a new hobby.

dear diary,

2 great blogs i found today:

# suck my left one
# don't dance her down boys

plus: does she ever stop working?

ps. after we did figure drawing in drawing class this week i heard a girl complaining about how strange and unhygienic the woman we had to draw was because she had hairy pits... just everytime you have convinced yrself that now even the last one got it something like this happens. also, how cliché is it when graphic design students still talk about coke? i know. i don't even have words for it.

stralsund

dear diary,

SOMEBODY PINCH ME

ps. this is fucking UNBELIEVABLE. why is it even possible to sell things like that?

dear diary,

i was just wondering whether some people might refrain from getting to know me in real life when they already know this blog... i'm wondering whether people would think they know what kind of person i am? i hope not. because really, this is just internet.

i don't know why, but antichrist reminded me of mirror father mirror. hahaha, poor lars.

I LOVE EATING
