About Me

completely irrational. Oh, this is the part where I'm positive. Ok, so I'm still completely irrational. I dance around the living room in my underwear and think it's fun. I take pictures of just about anything and paint with colours of sunsets or oceans. No more Townehouse tavern for awhile. Zero to silly in 17 seconds. No, really. Laughing is...lovely.In search of the perfect New York Kiss.

I have a terrible memory. I try to remember things; I make lists, I write things down in my day book, I have constant reminders around to...remind me of what to do. This could be a character flaw in t...

fearless

As I approach my 31st birthday, I wish for the kind of self confidence that Meg Ryan has in In The Cut. That shameless 'this is the kind of girl I am' sort of way that she moves around. If I were any ...

Dear Chicago

I had a nap in my new red sheets and dreamed of kissing you again. You left your wife and chose me. It was a small memory of how good your mouth is. But you were still soiled by your marriage, and the...
