Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.
In Susan’s geography class, she assists her kids learning their countries of the world by encouraging them to find the monsters lurking within. It’s a very cool mnemonic device to help kids remember, sure, but when I did this in school they said I had ADD.
I’m not going to lie, I cried a little… but I really do love Hans Christian Andersen. It’s kind of nice to have Disney do an animation without sugarcoating it too much, despite the fact that it’s a little gut wrenching
The following is likely to be full of random things that amuse me, and I'm amused by almost anything, things that I wish I could do, and the boring things that I can.

So, I'm 19, female and from Sydney, Australia
