I love doing a trade, forgetting I did the trade and then receiving happy mail I forgot to expect. Haha!

The Zine Review Index is now up to date.
Another Year of Life
Another birthday, another year of life gone by.
Birthdays always leave me feeling introspective but this one especially so. Now it’s not so much what to do in my next year of life so much as what do I want to accomplish before I turn 30.
I feel like I didn’t accomplish as much as I wanted between 28 and 29, so I definitely don’t want a repeat year in that sense. What I do want… Well, I’m not sure about that, either.
I am indecisive as fuck.
Ah, well. We’ll see what happens.

Cool Post Alert: Why We Make Zines
With WordPress, you can reblog stuff, but this beauty is located in the world of Blogger. So here’s a quote, and there’s a link at the end…
It is the last day of July – the last day of IZM . Some of us got a lot done and some of us did a few activities. What is important is we all celebrated the love of zines. I tried a few new techniques, released a new zine, shared my zines and thought of new zine ideas!
On this last day I wanted to share the varied responses to the question: why do you make zines? Throughout the years I have gotten to know so many zine makers from different scenes and I find the only thing connecting us at times is a zine. But zines make a strong bonding glue!
Why I make zines: zines are my voice when I do not feel like I want to communicate with others. It is a way to reach out, share my ideas and have a voice from the comfort of my house. I started reading/making/contributing to goth zines in the 90s. It took me awhile to make my own – I had to get over some insecurities (something I still battle with) and just do it!
