I think Milne’s Winnie the Pooh books win this one, along with Beatrix Potter books; I read way too few of those when I was a child, and they are beautiful and cute books with lovely illustrations, as opposed to the often very aggressive, edgy, ‘modern’ drawings they make for children’s books (and cartoons!) nowadays..

So I have been thinking about this one for a while now, and too busy with other things (read: Uno Møller treasure hunt, getting excited over Matt Berninger, work, and happiness too) to really sit down and write something proper. It’s hard to pinpoint yourself that way, picking a character from a book and saying, [...]

the secret’s out: I own all of the Harry Potter books. Sorry guys, but I’m pretty much like everyone else from my generation. (Except I don’t listen to Lady Gaga.)
My name has five letters in it, and comes up in some Bright Eyes songs. I am (apparently) an artist, with too much time on her hands. Well, enough to blog (almost) daily. I am 1/4 (the smallest one, actually) of Lazy Acre Records; I also write & photograph for a local magazine based in Englaaand and make used to draw musically-inspired comics for a canadian mag (RIP Inscribed). Sometimes I can be quite cute. I used to still have a crush on Marty McFly; I like baking, overusing semi-colons, the smell of the sea, and thunderstorms.
I tend to be quite the busy bee, but if you make VERY sexy music and want me to listen and enjoy and possibly even (!!) write about it, shoot me a mail, baby. music(at)alicetragedy(dot)org
