About Me

I'd leave you for a song in the car.

My Interests

music keeps me alive, it truely is the only reason. star filled skies, my very own first apartment, silent connections with people, smoking, Amanda, the Nitty Gritty, movies that get the soundtrack perfect, Craigslist "Missed Connections," Bjork's voice, getting the newest Art Newsletter from my fellow college arties, aspiring to be a good photographer but being too lazy to pick up my camera, Ryan Adams screaming, "Love is Hell." that weekend in Dublin, the "phantom four", staring out windows for as long as i can remember, freckles and moles, having the ability to change your mind, high heels, lambrusco wine, vintage jewelry, my many lists, thai and indian food, my sisters who keep me sane, keith carter, the sound of crickets, my sacred journal of poems, walmart smoke-out candles (they really work) memories of bartending, cousin's weekend, fine point pens, uncommongoods.com, the smell of coconut, a kiss with a hand on the side of my face, brown and turquoise together, sharks, the bowl i made in pottery class that took me months, foreign films, the smell of Crocs, abbrevs, Blythe, the sound of Sigur Ros, that first look, L'Occitane products, blowing rings, meeting new people that get it, trains, not being married, chai tea, untucked sheets, lipstick...

the baggage less, the heavy hearts, the strong scented, the midnight runners, the mystery less, the beat brewers, the secret schemers, the undercover naive, the antique souls, the dialect snobs, and the moment consumers.

my mom said the funniest thing
