About Me

I am 23, no joke.
I like to bowl (I am awful). I like to sing (I am even worse).
I read, write, and make coffee slightly better than average.
I am content with being number 5.
I am quite crafty, in the good way.
I love jet-lag, and overpacking.
I swoon for Marc Jacobs, he's a genius.

I want to be so important that I can treat people like shit, and they'll still talk about how wonderful I am.

Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.
