#66 Misaki Kawai
This is all just perfection. I really love zines and bright colours and simple drawings, shapes and patterns. Everything works and I really recommend checking out the installation pieces on Misaki's website here because they are honestly rooms which I want to live in myself.

#65 perpetual identity crisis
Often, I feel like I have trouble grasping who I am and what I am good at. Popularity matters to me too much I suppose but at the same time, it doesn't matter at all. Popularity with the right people matters. I am either in the state of having an existential crisis or an identity crisis, constantly feeling the need to throw things out but not really being able to get rid of them even if they are awful. It can be really difficult feeling this way, fluctuating between one thing then another, feeling completely insignificant to all things, like a dull speck living in a cardboard box or behind prison bars. There would be nothing worse to me than a prison sentence because my potential would be gone.

#64 protest number three and resolutions
I attended the London SlutWalk yesterday and it was a lot of fun walking round the centre of London in my bra with the words FUCK SLUT SHAMING written on my torso in permanent marker. The speeches afterwards were incredibly moving and covered such a huge range of problems which exist today, at the heart of most of them lying gender inequality, but also transophobia, racism and homophobia.
I have convinced my parents to invest in a sewing machine so I will begin to make my own clothes soon. I have also started working on a zine idea I have so I can be the generic teenage champagne socialist feminist everyone hates. I am so insensible with all this because I actually have a ridiculous amount of college work on at the moment, for example the most important piece of coursework I will ever write.
My hair gets longer and my fringe gets shorter.
Also, I went to the National Archives to put my grubby paws on some Victorian documents and to trap cold germs into them since I was ill at the time. My life's activities seem to involve pond life of some description recently.

#63 i just don't like 'social norms' much
- I can't really remember yesterday at all.
- I am going to be on Question Time next Thursday and Radio 5 on Monday.
- Today I saw an old man who spends three hours a day feeding the animals in this park I went to, a pigeon walking slowly towards a fox, a swan the size of a small child and an atlas from such a long time ago that the USSR still existed as a country.
- I am getting ill.

#62 a book about wild flowers in 1975
i love finding things like this in charity shops and buying them whilst matt gives me strange looks. i am going to get some old maps tomorrow and i'm starting volunteering at one on saturday so if there are any old national geographics donated then i will jump on them since i only have two from 1987 and 1988

#61 people i hate use cameras like these
- i had my cameras developed this week and was ripped off for it and this is what i found.
- the reason i use disposable cameras is because in the daytime, they produce much better pictures than digital. that picture of water, i love because the reflection in the water is captured in the way it would look like brown muck if taken with a digital camera, even an slr wouldn't take something so good.
- i wouldn't use them at parties if i went to those cool hipster parties where people dress up like indians and snort cocaine off the toilet seats and have sex in the bathroom. i like using them because it makes it look like a party out of the virgin suicides where it's kind of awkward and no one is actually enjoying themselves (even though we all do)
- listening to tame impala on repeat
- i hate college

#60 hanging out with ducks
remembering how boring free periods are, crying because i hate my classes and my timetable (am not even being sarcastic) and doing all my homework with plenty of time to spare because i am an angel. i still have so many things to do- i want my textbooks to come and history is going to be a fun (not) constant for the next three months and german is an okay constant because languages are constants. spanish is really easy but then all i know how to say is good morning my name is sophie and i am seventeen years old.

#59 in september listening to new order on repeat
evidence that at one time it was sunny in england and we sat in the garden and did nothing all afternoon
these pictures make the party look like the awkward party in the virgin suicides but actually it was one of the most fun parties i have ever been to which probably says a lot about the quality of my parties. it has resulted in a whole disposable camera full of pictures i can't remember taking and am getting developed tomorrow so that will be interesting.
