About Me |
I'm Karen. An aspiring events manager, who's due to graduate in a few months. I love; music, travelling, gadgets and being a bit of a tech geek, good friends, and cute cafes. |
Blah.
While dealing with the loss of my gran, I was expected to be strong, and work through my grief enough to be able to focus on Uni and complete my exams and coursework. Well, I could have told you this then, I’m not that person. I wear my heart on my sleeve. However broken an battered it is.
And now I have to deal with going back for resits for a degree that I feel is now worthless and pretty pointless.
babe, we’re so doing this!
Oh Kaylaaaaa :)

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.
DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.
These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.
“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”
The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”
Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

I’m sure these horrible people will get as far with this campaign as they did their last, nowhere. I just hope that DC and Marvel have the courage to stand up to them and be as open and compassionate as JC Penney was to show that people aren’t going to stand for this any longer. Companies are going to move with the times and be inclusive to all types of customers and fans alike. That by socially excluding anyone who identifies as being part of an LGBT community doesn’t mean that they are going to go away, like these One Million Moms hope.

Defensive.
With a shield.
Closing up,
and losing out.
Hurting loved ones.
Without knowledge or reason.
Crying for help.
Although, unsure what’s needed.
Escape and peace.
Of the mind, and the heart.
I need an outlet. More than this tumblr can provide. I don’t know what this outlet is just yet, but I know that I have to find it sooner rather than later. I’m not the person that I used to be, and while I’m told that that’s to be expected I need to try and focus and pull things back.
I’m pushing away the people that mean the most to me, without even realising it. I used to be filled with so much passion and have a little kick about me, I don’t feel like that’s there anymore. And truth be told, I haven’t felt like it’s been there for quite a while.
I don’t know how I’m going to do this, or how long it’s going to take. But I guess I’ve taken the first step in identifying that I need to do something.
So wish me luck, as I flounder trying to bring back the person that I once was proud to be. The person who loved an adventure. The person who could take anything in her stride. The person that my fiancee fell in love with and deserves to be with.

I really want to turn my tattoo on my shoulder into a kind of capped sleeve - roll around type deal. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about all these different little things that I’ve love to have incorporated into one piece but I don’t know if it’d work. My tattoo as is is a really awesome piece and holds a lot of meaning and memories for me. And I know that those won’t fade by having something else/stuff around it. I would just need to really be sure what I want done and thankfully I know exactly who I want to do it for me. And I’m pretty sure he’d be up for doing something really cool.
I think it’s time I started getting back into sketching…

Functional Nintendo NES Controller Coffee Table
It may be hard to believe at first glance, but this oversized Nintendo NES controller actually works. The table is constructed from high quality materials including maple, mahogany, and walnut with dovetail joinery and mid century modern legs. If you have $3500 just laying around, you can pick it up now from Etsy.

I miss her.
Plans for the future cannot come quick...
