Draw Yourself as a Teen Meme

This must be one of the best memes I've encountered: Draw Yourself as a Teen. Flight has a an excellent post up where they link to teen-drawings of some of their contributors. There are some gems by genuine artists there. Love it.

Along with Derek's Flickr-pool entitled Your Geekiest Photos this must be the best celebration of everything that goes wrong when you're young and impressionable.

After Rain

Sitting by the window, reading my book, grey skies darken the colours of our living room. It's been gloomy and overcast for days now. It doesn't feel much like Summer.
But when I look up from my book to let my gaze rest upon the tall buildings in the distance, we get treated with an exceptional sight: The last rays of the sun while it's going down, have been able to pierce through the grey blanket of clouds, making the offices shine like it were mirrors, and creating a beautiful rainbow growing out from the trees. There is beauty hidden in the rain.
