HELLO! THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
My name is Petya and this place has been my true love since January of 2002 when I thought that I wanted to illustrate children's books for a living. I used to draw little girls with BIG heads. Hence the name of the site.
Since its very inception, the website has been hosted by, Dan of waferbaby.com. Dan is single-handedly responsible for my addiction to all things blog. It all started when he made the seemingly innocent suggestion that if I want to have a website, I might want to learn a little bit of html. And for that, I will love him forever.
After a seven-year whirlwind of adventures in the United States, I moved back to Bulgaria where I now live with my wonderful husband. If you ever see a spastic Bulgarian girl and a skinny American boy taking jumping pictures of each other you should know it's probably the two of us and should definitely come by and say hi.
Thank you for taking interest in my life. And please say hi when you get a chance! That would totally make my day!

This is certainly very thought-provoking. Do you think it's possible for men to create their circumstances?
One of my doctoral exam prelim questions was as follows:
"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted by the past." (Marx). Critically analyze the relationship between agency and determinism posited in this quote with reference to 2 political theorists (neither of which needs to be Marx).
I didn't write on this one, but I did prep it. I had a bunch of stuff outlined on Marx and then on Nietzsche. I concluded that outline with the following:
Men make their own history, but they do not do so just as they please because pure agency and pure structure are both no more than philosophical myths; the former is likely Kantian and the latter mostly Hegelian.
I don't think it's an either-or situation.
