I will put my tongue in your ass but I will not scrapbook your fucking vacation pictures.

I left a shorter version of this in comments to ursulav's rather ashamed post about her fear of being mistaken for a scrapbooker. That post is worth reading in its entirety. Ursula is awesome

Colouring books, for me. I cannot draw for anything, but I adore the colouring part. I have a stack of colouring books, some of which are the stained glass sheets. They're clearly not intended for the extra-young crowd, but just let it slip that as an adult, you still love colouring books . . .

So far, I have managed to not tell them that when I was 9, I had one of the mythical beasts colouring books from Dover, and that I carefully drew hacked off arms and legs and blood and the like around the manticore, and I never got to finish the damn book when I was a kid, so LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.

-coughs-

I have the same thing with colouring books. It's somehow just so relaxing to colour in between the lines :) My 'grown-up' solution? Mandalas. My mom gave me a lovely set of watercolor pencils and a 'colour your own mandala' book, and now it's suddenly a respectable hobby that I can put on web profiles and CVs, haha.

Stained glass sheets sound awesome. Wish I could find those here.

Dover Books rock my socks, man. Cheap, awesome coloring and paper doll books, cool clip art, all kinds of stuff.

Again, check Dover's coloring books, they're fab.

I LOVE coloring books! <3 I had a Dover version of Sleeping Beauty that I colored 3/4 of with Prismacolor pencils when I was 17-20 and it was just gorgeous. I don't know what happened to it.

The thing about the manticore . . . that is just freaking awesome.

Mom took away all my mythology coloring books when I was a kid, 'cause I embellished everything with what, years later, I discovered was hardcore porn. No wonder I spent most of my childhood getting asked weird stuff by my therapists--Mom thought I was Lolita!

. . . I . . . I have to hear more about this sometime.
