The Letter Writing Desk



My official letter-writing area!  I have been wanting to do this for some time now.

Of course, it was much cleaner when I took this picture than it is now, though it is still fairly tidy, with a few additions.  On the far left you will see a small magazine collection which I steal appealing scraps from and then wastefully throw away… the little basket in front of it is full of said scraps from magazines past.  Or is it “passed”?  Whatever.  Anyway, you will also see a little thingy of gluesticks, which are to adhere said scraps to objects which I send through the mail.  

On the direct right of the magazines is another container of more scraps, specifically non-magazine scraps.  And stickers.  Moving from the right of that, there is a pile of envelopes, a pile of cards, and a pile of stationary; then there are artistic utensils (the collection has grown to include many more mediums since I took this picture), and writing implements.  In the center is a letter I am writing to my friend Lizzie, as well as her letter to me I was responding to, and in the left corner of that, are two unanswered letters from Joanna and Ellie.  

It’s really the simple things in life that I love, you can tell…

Libraries with chandeliers!



At the Maritime Museum in Beaufort, they had an entire nautical library, complete with a loft and chandelier.  I’ve decided it is one of the many reasons, aside from the pirate store and the ocean, why I want to live in Beaufort for a while.  Bed & Breakfast work-trade, perhaps?

Beach Books




The beach!  The beach!

Every year I pick a book to read while at the beach.  I can only remember a few… in ‘07 I read the last Harry Potter book; in ‘08 I (regrettably) read Twilight; in ‘09 I read The Kite Runner and some of The Thirteenth Tale; and this year, I am reading as much as I can of my Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as seen in the foreground.  In the background is my little brother Robert and the sand castle that he made.

Like a boss


This is my brother Marck, being generally epic as usual.

When I was in Boston, I happened to reach inside a lamp shade in the hotel for no actual reason, and pulled out this pair of what I like to call “Lady Gaga Sunglasses.”  I brought them home and gave them to Marck, and then he had an idea for a profile picture he wanted me to help him with. 

Hence, this picture.
