Thirty Day Challenge-- My Guilty Pleasure

My guilty pleasure? This required some thinking, mostly because I never feel guilty about having a smile or feeling good for a short time. But something that I go back to time and again for a smile or to feel something other than numb?

Marvel's Avengers! I watch it all the time. I love the story, the characters, the fact that they are so perfectly damaged. One drowns his emotions in alcohol and fast living, another buries her emotions so deep it takes an Asgardian to dig them up, another actually tried to kill himself and when it didn't work he focused on helping others. I suppose I identify with them all in a different ways.

Hamlet. For similar reasons. I understand having depression so terrible that it threatens your sanity, driving you to madness.

You'd think this would depress me more, but in all reality I feel better knowing that people can accomplish great things in spite of their pasts.

Thirty Day Challenge-- Earliest Childhood Memory

I think my earliest memory is of me at about three? My older half brother had taken my teddy bear and threw him on the heater vent. The house had one of those old systems in which the vent was metal and extremely hot. Mom had placed a string fence around it and warned me not to go there because I'd get hurt. My half-brother threw my bear on the vent because he was being mean and thought it was funny. I had to go over the string to get him, in a child's mind Teddy was going to get hurt and I had to help him.

I ended up hurting my feet from the heat on the metal grating. Mum scolded me for it until she found out why I went over there in the first place. I remember my idiot half brother got in trouble for it. I still have that bear and he's always been a bit singed. As a result, I never like that half brother. And I don't like people touching my stuff.

Thirty Day Challenge-- Business Name

What if you don't have a business? Did anyone think that through? Ok, so I do.
My business is called Studio395. I make jewelry and geek wear. The name comes from the simple fact that I live next to a highway. I can change my style without having to change the name. Its a simple explanation, but there you go.
