About Me

I am your new favorite person. Not only am I talented and beautiful, but I am incredibly graceful and highly intelligent. What am I supposed to say here? Ok. I am an art conservator for a museum, a bubble bath junkie, graduate student, part-time hermit, full-time cynic, and lover of wearing rain boots. As for tomorrow, there are many options~ none of which I would care to expound upon at this very moment. Departures and arrivals, plans, sections, and surprise situations jumping out of dark corners... and then sometimes, albeit against my better judgment, I think about London.
Information pertinent to my existence includes, but is not limited to: my fear of bugs and trains, an intimate relationship with chips and salsa, a burgeoning love/hate relationship with prog rock, the truth that I have drank/drunk my fair share of this world's whiskey, the belief that it is possible to care to the point of sickness, an intense desire to go to space, enamorment with a particular SFW, and a life goal of owning a monster truck capable of crushing other cars.
