About Me

i want to live in the evening sky where the stars are silver and the earth fades away, between the push of the tide and the pull of the moon, i will be a satellite and i will watch the earth spin... ...i like the pattern on china plates. i like pretty lights. i like fire. i don't mind washing the dishes. i love cheese. and wine. my favourite line in shakespeare - 'would it were not so'. i like the rain, but i don't know what it smells like. watching the ocean, watching the stars. i like ice cream and sour lollies coated with sugar. i enjoy being submerged in water. i like being up early in the morning but i don't like getting up early in the morning. i want to live in a world where twilight lasts 4 hours a day. i like singing really loudly. i like walking aimlessly at night time. i can't help picking my scabs. i don't like waiting or being late. i like good poetry. reading in bed, feeling warm. reality tv hurts my brain. the sound of birds. sitting on grass. laughing, yawning and stretching. i'm scared by how much we consume. i think fear will be the end of us all. i love dancing (anytime, anywhere). i like little glass bottles. turqoise. i love my family. i love my friends. you know who you are...

My Interests

i like unexpectedly finding myself in positions i never thought i'd find myself. i like listening to loud music in dark places. i like being outside, swimming and bike riding and frolicking with squirrels. i like creative writing under trees in open spaces, taking photos, sipping tea, fire-twirling and hanging out with like-minded people.
