Because of the lice or bed bugs or whatever is invading my space right now I had to make sure all my craft supplies was exterminated in some fashion or another.

This lead me to putting my current project into the microwave.
And having it burst into flames.

RIP
Bonita Hat
You will never be.

"Arthur, you have not been invited to this party."




SOMETHING IS IN MY HOUSE AND I CANT SEE IT AND IT IS EATING ME ALIVE!!!!!!

Might be bed bugs, might be body lice.

I have huge bites all over my body and they itch and itch and I am trying to rip my skin off in sheets because it itches so much.

I hope it is body lice.

Because if it is, that means I don't have to destroy all my craft supplies and my whole life.

If it is bed bugs, I have to get rid of all my drawing books and magazines, and zines, and clothing patterns and collage material [boxes and boxes of cut paper] and then I WILL CRY FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL THE WORLD IS UNDERWATER



not really.
but i will be real sad.
i will also shoot everything.

this is all.
