ah.. the tag..

prepare to be disappointed, all of you, my millions of adoring readers (ie. all 3 of you).

lisa from thelittlebirdy has tagged me to list some of my unspectacular quirks.
well here's the thing.
i don't believe i have any quirks - unspectacular or otherwise.
and it's really been bothering me.
keeping me awake at night.
everyone else in the known universe seems to have quirks, why don't i?
too normal? too sane? too boring?
or just plain 'in denial'.

i've wracked my brains till it hurt.
i mean, where do you draw the line between a quirk and obsessive behaviour or irrational fears? everything i start to think might be a quirk i end up convincing myself is really only fleeting moments of madness. a quirk suggests consistent peculiar behaviour.

friends, family, foes - they don't have answers for me either.

so sadly, i have come to the conclusion that i am truly quirkless.
hang on, could that be my quirk .. that i am quirkless?
oww! my head hurts thinking about this.

i'm dobbing in 6 others though (rules, people) who i'm sure won't disappoint as spectacularly as i have.
6 people who i don't really know at all but from reading their blogs i reckon they're brimming with quirks and will provide the fabulously entertaining reading that you were all hoping might come from me.
at least i'm trying to make amends for my quirkless state of being.

the following 6 i have the utmost faith in:

kuber
daskaninchen
hyena in petticoats
dudley redhead
sketch
meringue

no pressure guys but if you don't deliver, well .. at least it will make me look less weird ..

real estate

i bought a house.
little wonky red one on a hill.
all the way from denver colorada.

the wildly energetic and super talented lisa from urbanbird made this beautiful house.
i love the vibrant, scratchy colours, the texture, that slab of red sitting all alone, serene and confident.
lisa paints and screens onto birch plywood.

alas, i can only afford a print right now but i'm slowly loading up the piggybank in hope of purchasing the real deal, a house on wood, one day.

in the meantime i have this beautiful print to gaze at.
currently lisa is buried deep in houses and numbers over at thelittlebirdy
