This is a subtitle for your new post

This guy isn't sick, those aren't zits, he doesn't have the mumps... that's just how is skin is.  When he was a kid he used to feel bad about it.  But then he figured out that people paid more attention to what he acted like than what he looked like.  Maybe that's because he was kind of a mischievous little one?  He's still kind of a trickster.  He likes to steal cookies and never admit to it.  But only vegan cookies because he loves animals.  By the way, he never lies about anything important.  Only your snacks.  He meditates every day (zen style with his eyes open) and is actually quite wise and a good friend.  If you are looking to meditate more in your life - to make friends with your inner demons...  Billy might be the perfect demon to start with as a meditation pal.  He can sit in stillness for hours.

This is Oskina.  Oskina is pretty much the reason we call anyone a "book worm" She's not really a book worm though, she's more of a slug.  Well, she IS a slug.  
She reads like 3 books a week. That's a lot of books in a week! I probably read like one book in two weeks if I'm lucky - more like one book a month.  She reads 3 three books a week.  She reads really fast and she loves all kinds of books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Self-Help, History, Philosophy, you name it - She's down.

So yeah, she likes to read.  But that's not all.  She's an AMAZING dancer.  You would think without any legs maybe she couldn't really get down but you'd be surprised.  I mean, she can do some crazy flips and turns and slide around, you know?  Break dance stuff- out of control head spins. Yeah - you wouldn't guess really from a book worm, right?  But that's her other "thing" she likes to do.  

She's pretty quiet and she's very cute.  I mean look at her. She's also slimy.  She's very attentive, she's a very good listener.  She doesn't say much but when she does say something it's usually pretty profound. The kind of thing that makes you stop and say to yourself, "I should probably think about that." What's she reading right now?  She's reading  We've Never Been Modern , a book by Bruno Latour, her favorite philosopher
