I'm Not Like Other Girls

you'd have to be superwoman to deal with a pregnant teenager, your own baby being disabled, and the country. Aside from not doing the best job, I think she would have gone nuts, so I'm glad things ...

I'm Not Like Other Girls

ahahaha I remember that interview. "what books and magazines do you read?" "oh, you know... all the ones that talk about the issues... *subject change*" "but... which ones?" "oh... all of them, rea...

one year of love: 8 pages, 1/4 size. IN COLOUR

okay, it's basically just a bunch of cute pictures of a kitten, but she's REALLY cute, and it's for her birthday. plus, it's only $1, or trade. I'll probably just stick it into a trade for people who like cats.
$1 or trade

death never says my dear: 1/4 size, 30 pages.
my great aunt died. not very many people in my family have died before, and no one that I knew, so it got me thinking about death. this is a stream of conscious zine about my feelings on death, what I want to do with my life, children, my family, what is appropriate for a funeral... it's very personal. text heavy. lines of e e cummings poetry and colourful dinosaur pictures.
$2 or trade.

I'm working on numerous minis, and collaborations.
Ordinary Issue 3 will be out in late December/January, and will probably be the last of that series, I'm already tired of it. Look for: I am the same age as Joan of Arc, my new zine, around the same time.

all my zines are printed on 100% recycled paper.

eventually I hope to write a zine with my boyfriend about our european adventures, but who knows when I'll pin him down-- a muscian/engineer; he's tricky.





I am pretty much always up for trades of any kind (at least until I pay my tuition again and I'm flat broke.)
mix cds. intimate letters. secrets. postcards. things you found on the street. poems. the story of your first breakup. a fridge magnet. temporary tattoos.
you name it, I'll probably take it.

don't be shy, say hi :)

Hehe, yes, I think being organised at the start would help a lot.

You should pop over to Australia right now. It's warm and lovely.

Agreed! Though I am impressed how the zine community has so many people willing to write letters and such, it's great!

Oh that's great!! I think it'll be a lot of fun to do, but quite time-demanding.
Hehe. Well, the last few days have been quite cold, so I've been enjoying wearing tights again. Hehe, yes, Canada is supposed to be freezing..and it's near winter for you, right?
Oh yeah, totally! Trades and penpals sound fun!

Hey! I'm sorry for the uber late reply, things have been hectic.
I got your zine too! It was really neat, I liked your short story and the fact that you're spending the month novel writing! How is that going?
I'm happy you liked mine- hehe, well, our summer has come too soon, so it's way hot at the moment, and it's supposed to be spring.. Eh, weather.
Yes, thanks for trading! It was excellent!

life.

so you know how certain months are just so full of... life? not a nice alive feeling, but LIFE. that gets in the way.

yeah, well, that's what my November is looking like.

I'm swamped with school work (a third year told me to watch out for October and February- I should have realized that when my October was fine, it'd be another month that'd hit me), I'm doing National Novel Writing Month (badly), I have an injured wrist, I'm in the process of sorting out my student loan and seeing if moving c… Continue

DEATH NEVER SAYS MY DEAR

1/4 size, 30 pages

My great aunt died. this is a zine about me facing death close to home for the first real time, and the thoughts it brought to mind about people in my family getting older, myself getting older, when I'll start my own family, how I feel like the black sheep, etc.

it's very text heavy and a bit sad here and there, so I tried to cheer it up with some happy colourful dinosaurs.


asking $2 or trade
