So since I suffer from idiocy/never doing school work on time and am showing symptoms of becoming even more of a lazy bag of poo, the LA posts (and there are many lovely things to recap, once I've taken it all in myself) will go up some other time. This is pretty much the last REAL week of school (which of course means OH HERE DO A BUNCH OF PROJECTS AT THE SAME TIME) before all the games of Jeopardy and candy and the end-of-the-year field trip. Man, now that I think about it, the last couple weeks of school are almost pointless for me as I'm not even going on the field trip to some waterpark the size of Arthur's left nostril. Sophie and I are going to see Star Trek and this place entirely packed with zines, because it's more fun hanging out with weird illustrations and Spock than, y'know, people in our social circle that we can actually interact with. Oops.
As I've been writing this I've been trying to think of some type of image to post but now I figure I'll just post some of the pages from the zine I gave Laura and Kate. It bums me out that apparently people my age used to always make zines for each other and I had to explain to my gym class folks what one is!I love Neil Gaiman. And tiny worlds!
I also sleep in gym class, only I'm not in yoga anymore, I'm in field hockey. Gotta catch up on my hourz, holmes! That might be why it's one of my favorite classes, actually, since it's mostly lived in dreams! Go write that on a notecard in wobbly cursive and put it on Tumblr or something, next to a picture of a girl looking out a window and a Tim Walker photograph, and like, a video of the 500 Days of Summer Trailer and a picture of pink and yellow teacups.
My Bat Mitzvah is a week from Saturday (brb, hyperventilating?) so what with that and school there probably won't be normal posting for some time, which there hasn't been for the past month or so anyway. Unless I start blogging in gym! Heh.

i hate the last weeks of school. So pointless. I really don't like waking up at 5:45 to go to school to watch the magic school bus(perfectly acceptable for gifted freshmen)and do review packets.
LOVE the comme with the butterflies.

last weeks of school are the WORST for me...i've got finals up to the last day!

super_cactus said...

Ahhh the idea of leaving work until the last possible moment, I know you well.

By the way, I just read your blog from start to finish. It's really interesting to see how your style has changed. Maybe you should do it all in one go sometime if you haven't already. Anyways, you're non-caring-what-other-people-think-type style has been a huge inspiration and liberation for me, thanks a bunch tavi. Eller tusen takk :D (I'm such a scandinavia geek)

STAR TREK WAS AMAZING.

You can follow Neil on Twitter. *stalk stalk stalk*. Except I find his tweets kind of annoying.. I dunno.

bobb said...

Maddie said...

Cool fisheye photo :) You're so lucky that you're almost done with school.

sorry tavi but..they even do that to you in high school AND college. HERE DO THESE 3423409 papers about nothing you learned. It'll grow on you. What are wearing for your Bat Mitzvah?

Shen-Shen said...

Wow you sound crazily busy. And I've actually never heard of a zine before either!

Anonymous said...

UM. YOU AND ME. SAME BOAT: SCHOOL = NOT WORTH IT. SPOCK/ALL THINGS STAR TREK = AWESOME AND TOTALLY WORTH MY TIME. ((and don't you see some Rodarte influences in those romulin costumes?? EVERYTHING comes back to Rodarte because, well, it's pretty much the center of all that is good in the universe...))

Anyhoo.... your blog is amazing. your prose is hella witty and wonderful and entertaining. zines hafta come back. end of story.

your zine is cool, and yeah, i think zines were really popular in the 80's, although i am certainly not an authority on zine culture. i made fun collage-y booklets when i was in highschool though (in the 00's, hah).

I like your post below this one too. a million cool things to say about it that have already been said. i think it's great you got to go because you enjoyed it the most.

I've been lusting after the Karl bag ever since i saw it on that catwalk.

Isabel said...

I wish my head was a butterfly. i also wish I lived in the age of zines. Why couldn't I have been 20 in 1991 instead of 2?

Fannah said...

I love that Versace heart-dress soooo. Just Kate not. And that Karl bag is genius!!

Would you make me a zine?? (big sappy eyes being set up NOW.)

Chau said...

Tavi, what a sweet zine! I had my students make their own in the beginning of the year, and I think they could of used some inspiration from yours :)

You're having your Bat Mitvah? Awesomes.

My friend's having hers, but she has to leave the country (curses Sarah) so I can't go. I'm Irish.

She's from Atlanta.

She going back to Atlanta for her Bat Mitzvah.
