MISS GLITZY The Freelancer's Fashionblog Cats not Cancer “Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.” ― Dorothy Allison, Bastard Out of Carolina I have been waiting to post this for many reasons. When I began blogging in 2010, days after my diagnosis of breast cancer, I was naïve. When I “outed” Nomorefearsanymore and ImperialHotel, I did so because I was so confounded that anyone would lie about something so horrible and frightening as cancer. By now, many of you know that “Sydney Harrington” is also not a real person – not a real cancer patient. In March of this year I, and others, suddenly noticed that Sydney – and most of her posse of friends - disappeared from the Internet. Why am I breaking a year-long silence now? But on the Internet, cancer can be what you want it to be. I spoke to the girl behind “Sydney Harrington” yesterday and Skyped with her this morning. I wasted a large portion of my life pretending to be people who I wasn’t. I am not blogging about my health anymore. - Nikki (CatsnotCancer)

Now, I'm not really talking about the scribbling you do while in a boring meeting. Neither am I discussing the science behind doodles or analysing the different shapes we scribble while on the phone. If you do want that though, then here you go: Rather, what I want to talk about is the escaping from the real world/daydreaming/letting your mind run free/keeping yourself sane aspect of doodling. Some days it feels like all you do is this: And that's it! You need to escape and I'll tell you how. There's letting your mind float away and then there's, what could maybe be described as 'active doodling', where you make a proper effort to indulge in a quirky little project of your own. The strangest of hobbies. Want to know one of my 'active doodling' projects? Here's some of my collection, which I've rated on interestingness. Another side benefit of something like this is inspiration. Just get a geeky hobby. 3 Dribbble invites to give away! The Results!
