For those who like lists with a whole-lotta substance, comes List #11. As always, there are lots and lots of cute-ass drawings to accompany every list. This issue: love and polyamory, school, the internet, family, new roommates, jobs held, and her dog's quirks. This issues comes with a thick mini-zine insert of lists, all pertaining to life in her new house. It's a clever twist on the traditional perzine.
This is almost exactly what you'd expect it to be - a zine filled with LISTS for just about everything - the lists Ramsey, a young woman from a small town, writes, finds, and contributor lists.
However it's not just that simple. While list is essentially just a series of lists, it defines her character over the course of these pages. It's like an ongoing personal saga where you get to know her through reading her lists. She is a tremendously talented illustrator as well, and we get plenty of eyecandy along the way.
Here's a brief sampling of some lists: Things I Want My Future To Include, Things I Used To Think, Bands I Can't Stop Listening To Lately, Things I've Accomplished So Far This Summer, Ways I've Changed Since I Started College, Shopping LIsts, Cheats for tests and much more! I was grinning, beaming, and laughing throughout this issue!
Ramsey presents us with another zine chock full of lists. My favorites this time were the before & after ones and others that documented some sort of change or growth. Some of these include Plans For Baltimore vs. Things I Actually Did When I Got To Baltimore, Goals For Five Years From Now (as written 4 yrs ago) vs. New Goals For Five Years From Now, Things I Have Overcome, Things I've Done This Year That I Wouldn't Have Done Last Year. It was obviously put together during a transitional time in her life and contains a slight twinge of heartache as well
This issue also includes random lists found around town and guest lists such as: Reasons Why College is Awesome (and graduating is not), A List of Lists I Decided Not to Write for List, 10 Things I Like About Baltimore, Things I Wanted to Be (over the years), Stuff About My Friend Aaron That Would Make Good Episodes If They Ever Made A Sitcom About His Life.
