About Me

lyt by avlays
2am, and I'm still awake writing this song.
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd,
'Cos these words are my diary screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.
~*~
I reserve the right to dislike Oklahoma with every fiber of my being.
Sugar free Red Bull is the most addicting thing on the planet.
When I drive, I have to have music on... or else I get bitchy. Music while driving tends to transcend me to a different place. If I were smarter, I'd carry a hand-held recorder in the car with me to chronicle my thoughts... maybe, then, I'll be able to write that novel I keep saying I'll complete.
I miss California. I flourish there.
There are certain people in my life that, even though I may not see them as often as I want to, there's always a strong bond there. I hope to keep that.
This past summer has changed me more than any other time period has, and for the better.
Lastly... if I haven't completed some kind of manuscript by the time I'm 35, y'all have the right to disown me. xo.

summer 2007 and why it was so damn amazing.

The drive home, through lightness and dark, singing ABBA at the top of our lungs through eastern Arizona at 2am to try to stay awake. Goat paths through the desert. Forgotten towns. Seeing California ...
