To This Day

My boyfriend showed me this TED-talk by Shane Koyczan. It's more of a poem and it surprised and touched me very deeply.

There will be Blood

I lately stumbled across these pictures from Vice Magazine. I like them and as a woman am not shocked, disgusted or particularly embarrased about the shots. Similar stuff has happened to everyone with periodic cycle I dare to say. Me too.

I'm not at all quiet about my periods, when I happen to have them. I refuse to be embarrased and modest about something so natural and normal about my body. Why do we have to hide and pretend seriously? It annoys me how most women blush from just hearing the word periods/menstruation/etc. and try to hide their tampons while sneaking to bathroom. I remember wanting to die in high school when the rustle of the wrapping of sanitary pads gave me off in public toilets. I absolutely hated those days and thinking I wouldn't be able to wear skirts, shorts or light materials whenever I wanted. I was so scared somebody would find out what was going on.

What a joke! As if that actually would change a thing nowadays! Sure periods are not the most practical thing while travelling or when they get you off guard but my monthly bleeding doesn't affect a thing, not even my sex life, honestly. Oh yeah I am suffering from the most horrid low stomach and back pains for the first few days, which then causes me to have no mercy only a little sympathy for those ignorant jerks who make jokes about the happening. To think that bleeding hinders a female brain from working normally is just medieval! Thus I have taken it to my life mission to inform as many men as possible about this mystical event of the opposite sex.

Periods are the main reason, in my opinion, why you guys pay dinners and the movies: I'm paying the pads and the pain killers each month!  What do you think? I'd be interested in hearing some male voice too.

Culture Club

If you pop into Hamburg anytime soon, drop a visit to the Alice in Wonderland exhibition at Kunsthalle. You save about 60% if you flash that student ID of yours. It was all nice and strange and suited me well.

notice the cultivated way of carrying a shopping bad

I'd be a bad girlfriend posting only pretty photos of myself. I wonder what happened hier.

My pictures don't make justice to the exhibition but stricktly speaking, I wasn't allowed to have any.What was the point of this post? What is the point of anything? As my honeybear would say:
It's for shits and giggles.

Have a nice day everybodi!

Touché

Drawing, tea and an audiobook of Pride & Prejudice make my day. I'm a girly girl cliché. Thank God, I hate horses at least.

Stressed is desserts spelled backwards

I've been stealing off a bit too often to my own little drawing projects in the evenings. I should really study harder and spend more hours on sketching my homework but the aquarelle set and the empty drawing block scream for me to paint something fun for a change. It's just reeeeally difficult to get excited about geometrical forms or their shadows, when you're more into living beauty. Maybe my next object will actually be a building or some architectural space instead? Not.

My roomie noted, that I might be attracted to asymmetric and anorexic things after having a look at this lady. I agree. I didn't intend her to be so skinny, I just like exaggerating bones and lines I suppose. I'm happy with my work and I could practically feel the magic coming back to me and evolving myself while sketching her!

I haven't drawn for fun in ages and thus forgotten how much I infact enjoy it, how satisfactory this activity can be and have gotten quite out of touch with my skills. Gosh how much pleasure it is, closing up in my room, putting on music and drowning myself into the details! I'm actually looking forward to those hours everyday after University.

Keep safe my friends and family in Finland! Don't get too wasted this Midsummer without me ♥

Unbelievability

I'm a bit undecided if I should attend the Chemist Party at Krone today.. I'll have to work tomorrow at 10am but I really feel like dancing tonight. What say you?
