Catching The Dull Blue

 I ended up taking a break for the summer, mostly because I'm terrible at posting when I don't have a set schedule, but like homework and ill timed late night heart to hearts, it's September and I'm back!

A quick summary of the past three months or so:

• Started volunteering at a birth center after a lengthy and confusing application process. I mostly file things and I'm unreasonably excited about it
• Studied Russian very slowly, not feeling to great about it tbh
• Fell in love with Killjoys because best friends and siblings kicking ass in space with great world building and supporting characters is pretty much all I could ask for (plus it was renewed for a second season today) 
• Went to Maine with my family and shared the most uncomfortable futon I have ever slept on with my sister for three days
• Went to my first comic con (as Kate Bishop/Hawkeye)

That pretty much sums it up

 And I lied, I can't breathe again. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted. 

Things I'm reading today include:
A tart dough recipe
A clapping games link (followed from ysabetwordsmith's story "Up The Water Spout")
A google image search for frost

I'm also working on a new paper-cut sketch to work myself into the mindset to do cards. I haven't done any real paper-cutting since May so I'm a bit out of practice.
