    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

    Yeah I can beat it without a hammer, you just peel all the stickers off and then put them all back on! LOL! It does work though.

      Hi Mark,

      Thanks for the comment. Lol yeah it seems like a lot of people did the peeling the stickers off and putting them back on thing. Except that the stickers never went on quite the same as they did originally so the redone Rubik’s cubes always seemed a little bit off :D.

    I solved it back in the day. But I never developed that crazy fast sixth sense about it the way some kids did – looked like they weren’t even looking at it. I think I did it at least 5 times – just to prove the first time wasn’t a fluke. Then never touched it again.

      Krudler,

      Thanks for commenting, I was wondering how many readers of this blog had solved the Cube Of Lucifer ™ sans hammer. Five times though…holy crap.

      They have a snake version of the Rubik’s cube out now too btw. It looks pretty cool, I wanted to buy it for Jennifer but they were out of stock at the time.
