Now, many of you may not realize this about me, but I love cartoons… specifically ones aimed at my demographic.

I remember those hot summer days at the pool with my friends, pretending to be mermaids and playing Marco Polo until that whistle blows for the 10 minutes of adult swim. Grrr. We used to say “I can’t wait to be adults, so we could just swim all day!” And then we’d go to the snack shack and get some ice cream sandwiches. Little did we understand what a pain swimming around kids is.

But now I rejoice at the thought of [adult swim]. God Bless Cartoon Network for giving me refuge.

Several years ago I was going through a really hard time in life, and then I discovered some friends that lived around the corner from my house for years (literally). High School chums of my brother. Their house became a refuge, a haven for me. And their friendship made me feel so great! Memories of baking cake with Dylan. Watching Inuyasha and not understanding a thing about it. I was just trying to figure out why a man with cat ears was a dog who was also a demon who wanted to get rid of bad guys…. confusing, huh?

To this day, I never miss a week. It’s one of joys. It still stays as my little safe place where I feel normal, loved, and accepted. And, that is SO not lame!

Now, I’ve joined a swap on craftster for [adult swim] crafts and I couldn’t be more excited! eeeeee!

I’m super excited! I get my partner after this weekend! This is also my first swap, so I’m nervous…
