This is my gimpy little crane. I’m learning to fold origami and I’m really proud of him even though he’s got a silly ruffled tail and a funny awkward head.

He took me nearly 45 minutes to create because I suck at folding but I love him and now his name is Eustace.

Summer Olympics: Who can run the fastest? 🙂 Who can swim the fastest? 🙂 Who can do the best somersault? 🙂 

Winter Olympics: WHO CAN MAKE IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ICE SLIDE OF DEATH AND SURVIVE?? WHO CAN GET AROUND THE RINK WITHOUT GETTING THEIR HANDS SLICED OFF BY EVERYONE ELSE’S FEET BLADES?? CAN THIS GUY DO A 1080 DEGREE FLIP WITHOUT DYING?? 

….yeah no freaking wonder Canadians love it so  much. It’s just a hobby here doing dangerous shit to see if you survive….

Rilke put it: “Beauty’s nothing
but the beginning of Terror
we’re still just able to bear.”
When will you
get terrifying? I can do it
on command.

Sasuhina Fic Rec: 

I don’t often give fic recs. I have a really weird eclectic handful of favorites. They range from long convoluted ones to short one shots that really snag something precious in their one instalment. 

I think because I write SasuHina so much I actually don’t read it as often as other things, but occasionally I bump into one that catches me in the first few lines such as :

Holy Crap. 

Please go read this fic. It is a beautiful thing. Made delicately and intricately. It makes me think of snowflakes, or spun glass. Sasuke and Hinata are very much in character, but still it is not just the characters which make this story worth reading. There is a beauty to the author’s style which really does make you take a deep breath. Broad sweeping strokes and then minute details all together meshed to make this a really lovely satisfying sigh-worthy read.Â
