10 years ago i made my first zine; little. i hadn't realised it had been so long. i was so pleased with how the penny black catalogue turned out that i dug out my old flats and decided to scan them in so i could upload them to issuu. i'm equally happy with the result, you can see the sticky tape and the rough edges of the paper (that often didn't come out on the photocopies). i read through the old pages as i scanned (and corrected some of the spelling mistakes, but i'm sure i missed some, i always, always do) and i was surprised by how some things had totally changed and by how some things have stayed exactly the same.
alice in wonderland is still my favourite book, i still order a fettucinne marinara when i go to an italian restaurant but i would have to say my favourite food now is japanese - either sushi or a bento box (i think half of it is getting to eat with chopsticks, something i love, love to do - it makes a meal more exciting i think). but the greatest surprise and the greatest change would be the heat. i used to hate it, and longed for cold days when i could wrap up in many layers of clothes and watch my breath hang in the air, but after living in a cooler climate for the last two years i find myself longing for the heat and those 30 degree + days when you can walk around in a singlet and skirt and feel the tension build through the day to give you a spectacular electrical storm at sunset. in this little area of my life i am now the total opposite. funny hey?
have you changed in any areas of your life to a point where you feel that you're now almost unrecognisable to the person you were before? i'm one of those people who believe that the leopard really can change their spots.
