If my house was ever on fire, here are the 5 items I'd grab (yes, assuming all people and animals are safe):

• my blankie! (obviously)
• Kindle
• my tablet
• my phone
• a big bottle of water (random, I know, but it's probably what I'd need most).

What would you save? :D

A friend mocked my stories of teenager Maria meeting bears on her hikes in Romania. But bears were indeed (more or less) part of my playground, so shut up!

My drawing today  'depicts' the destruction of said playground, by zombie bears and their sidekick sheep.

Not feeling inspired by the question today (where I was supposed to read something quite niche that nobody would then get), I decided to illustrate my state today: f*cking dress! You're useless anyway!

If I could ever be the master (I know, mistress is the word, but to me sounds dodgy) of any skill in the world, I'd probably choose conversation. Yup - I think you can change anyone's perception of yourself with some charming, skillful conversation. 

But what does Maria do?! She just stares awkwardly at people and then goes on 'weather chit-chat' mode. And that's nothing skillful about that.

Today's question was:
If you could choose to be the master (or mistress) of any skill in the world, which skill would you pick?

Today's Q: When you were 16, what did you think your life would look like? Does it look like that? Is that a good thing?

When I showed this one to my friends, they laughed their asses off. Not because it's funny, but because the 'How did you think your life would be when you were 16' thing I portray here is ridiculous.

Yet this is what I thought my life would be: 
- me - preppy, glossy-locks kind of girl, with a good job, a preppy boyfriend that is quite well off and a fat orange dog+fat orange cat.

In reality, I've got too much white hair for 30, a double chin, two guinea pigs (fat, yes) and a rabid dog plus one motorcycle-fanatic husband.

Pretty close, I say. Pretty close.
