MY FELLOW EARTHICANS

 And before you ask, no I'm not going to talk about the HORRIBLE INJUSTICE they are doing to Futurama.

No, I'm here to talk about a less infuriating topic.

MY 20th BIRTHDAY.

 Hai guise, it's LiLi again!

 I guess I should apologize for being absent in your lives so much, but truth be told, I'm really not sorry. I've been doing school junk, work junk, oh, and getting old. Very important there. I know everyone waits for their 21st birthday [Woo legal drinking and all] But I'm more terrified at the fact I won't be classified as a teenager anymore. It won't be any "Oh, look at that punk kid talking to trees again." It'll be like "Oh look at that young adult sacrificing seagulls. Wait a seco-"
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE.

 I'm turning 20 the Philippines Independence Day. That's right. June 12th ya jerks.
I'm just chillin' here, planning my adult life, finishing final essays for my 3 classes and working 40 hours a week to feed my crippling coffee addiction.

At the end of the year, or next June, whichever suits my needs best, I am either going to make my pilgrimage to see the late, great Edgar Allan Poe or, I am going to New Orleans to summon the Baron.

In the meantime, you can start expecting to hear a lot more from me. Much, much more nonsense. Sweet, sweet delicious nutritious juicy, life-sustaining nonsense...

I AM ALL SERIOUSNESS PEOPLE. THIS IS THE FACE OF MEANING BUSINESS.

LiLi out, y'all.

Shop Review: Howdy, Garters by Lori!

Good evening, Fanatics!


In the slow, drunken wake of my 21st birthday, I thought this week's Shop Review would cover a trade I recently did with Garters by Lori.


I stumbled upon GbL in the lineup of artists participating in my trade groups latest event. I fell in love with both the utility and simple, pleasing look of her flasks and garters. Originally,

Megh's -hic!- 21st Brithday Party

Hello again, Fanatics!
Sorry that it's been a while since you've - blah blah blah we're lazy at writing the blog.

Anywho, last Wednesday was MY birthday. I finally turned 21 and instead of going to Prohibiton, a speakeasy themed restaurant/club here in Houston like we had planned, we bought some groceries and stayed home. I think I cried a little. Aaron's mother baked me a wonderful Black Russian cake, which Aaron and I ate all by ourselves instead of sharing with our guests at my party on Saturday.

My party was a fairly intimate affair, with only 5 people coming over. My best friend from high school dropped by to say hello and drop me off a card and balloon. We only see each other every 3 or years (it's sort of a running tradition). Aaron's friend Tank arrived, shortly followed by our other guests. Having everyone in the living room all at once made me realize that most of our friends are a good half foot (or more) taller than us. Boohoo.

I got a vintage glass candy dish from my friend Sam and Judy (my sister's best friend) and her boyfriend got me a teddy bear tshirt in a can. Tank brought over what looked to be a 24 pack of beer and Marcello (a boy from high school) made pasta sauce and ice cream.

My party differed vastly from Aaron's. We did not play a board game, Isaac did not attend, and half of the party was celebrated outside, mostly because it was a pleasant night. I also made a cocktail shaped pinata for the evening, filled with dollar store candy and chocolate liqueurs. A labor of about 12 hours, it lasted about three minutes. Tank managed to break the thing's stem off with a mighty hit, and I surprised myself by bashing it open.

My first handmade pinata!


I'm embarrassed to say that that I only remember snippets from the rest of the party. We played a party game where each of us made cards that I found hilarious, I am pretty sure someone let me make s'mores near an open fire pit, I convinced Aaron to wrap up sausages in foil and throw them into the fire. It was fun. Everyone stayed over and I did quite a bit of cooking the next morning. Our house is still a mess.

Now that our birthdays are over, the next big thing we have to look forward to is Comicpalooza in May; so our posts now should focus on more Fanatic subjects until then.

Stay Fanatic!
