Teeth on the cob.
2017 was a year of bravery for this one.
• this year I had my boobs removed
• attended three gay parades, in San Francisco, Berlin, and Copenhagen – coincidentally bumping into people who I love
• played an NPC at a scifi LARP
• moved to the opposite side of the world
• spent the whole year delightfully single
• fell madly in fascination with contact juggling, visited a fire spinning convention
• travelled to two countries where I didn’t speak the language
• became involved in international LARPing and pretending to be a wizard
• began reading way more frequently
• took learning German quite seriously
• continued a d&d campaign for its 2nd year with an excellent group of new players
Early December we went to a castle in Poland where this one became the embodiment of Moss. Here are some photos – with our calligraphy teacher, a moon elf, and the queen of the winter fae.
Moss grows in castles, on stones and within hearts.
Magic beyond measure.
With love from the Sandman comic,
these rough winter days.
This has been a difficult but growing time.
I now know what it is like to feel completely physically weak. I also understand my desire to seek creative communities and grow with other people.
This is part of my reading plan. Quite hyped and thankful to borrow these from our new flatmate.
About to do my first Escape room with some delightful LARPers in Poland.
This year I will finish my bachelors degree.
Then I’ll be choosing where to start my work life.
Maybe staying in Germany, perhaps moving back to LA working in design or maybe going to Oakland to pursue circus.
Figuring out the balance of where I’m wanted with where I can continue to apply and perfect skills in creation.
I hope we meet on our adventures.
