Captain Trips

i want to be forgotten...

About Me

listen to the river sing sweet songs to
rock my soul
i'm nicole to most, nikki to some, nika to others, and "nick nack patty whack" to my parents. i like cloudwatching, theatre, sleeping, music and some other stuff too. i only eat organic food and i'm a firm believer in universal peace. my favorite thing in the world is going to festivals and concerts (basically, people-gatherings) and meeting the grooviest people in all different shapes and sizes from all corners of the earth. generally whilst under the influence of colossal quantities of LSD. so yeah, talk to me.

prepare to be amazed:
midi and the modern dance
king spider
