My brother Dylan (up there on the right!), once told me that I dressed like a clown ( and possibly that I was an embarrassment). At the time, I had been wearing a bright orange coat, green, patterned canvas boots and knee high socks, so maybe he was right.

My mum's parenting theory was always "as long as it isn't morally wrong or physically threatening, let your children make their own decisions"; this applied to clothings as much as anything else. I often tease her about the outfits that I had access to as a child (there were a lot of leggings, how ironic), but really, I think I looked pretty cool. Thanks mum!

I. Made. This.

While recently exploring some older folders on my laptop, I stumbled upon this embarrassingly amazing gem; my family didn't have a computer until I was about thirteen, but when I did, boy did I make up for lost time. (Remember when not having a computer wasn't such a big deal?)

In true geek fashion, I spent hours combing the internet for desktop themes, icon packs and wallpapers of my favourite characters; I was like a little digital-hoarder, saving and organizing anything that caught my magpie eye.

Rainbow Shells! The Mist Dragon! Alfador!

I can't stop laughing.
