"Do you believe in fairies?...

...say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands."
Today is the birthday of Sir J.M. Barrie (1860), the beloved Scottish author, famous for his writing of Peter Pan.
I had to include this quote because I really do believe in stuff like that: fairies and ghosts and life on other planets. I'm sure everybody remembers the famous fairy pictures from back in the early 1900s. The famous Cottingley photographs were taken by Elsie Wright who later explained that she hand-drew the fairy and then attached it to the tree with a hatpin...



Normally I don't really care for spiders (or any other insect for that matter), but this is just too good to keep to myself.

I do like to paint occasionally, but I am certainly not near any true artistic talent. I love art and even plan to minor in Art History once I transfer, but I am content to be an English major. But people tell me I look like an artist because of how I dress...
