About Me

'What's the point of living if you don't feel alive?' I enjoy life, usually.. deconstructing the world and expression esp through writing. I enjoyed my film class a lot.. I appreciate a lazy day and night swimming. Making connections (to people) excites me. I have a fascination with NYC and Spanish, for some reason. Getting a doctorate in English one day to teach in college I hope.. if i had to choose a word: love.

"I sink down into my own body as into a swamp, fenland, where only I know the footing.  Treacherous ground, my own territory.  I become the earth I set my ear against, for rumors of the futu...
