About Me

I get bored. And impatient. I like: thinking about things that will never happen as if they're on my docket for tomorrow, making aprons, making new lives, myself, other people who like themselves, the ocean, the lake, a stream, a bath, tennis shoes, Elissa's vegan scones even though I'm a non-vegan, people who are obsessed with things because I am not one of them, forgetting, beeswax candles, men who clap unabashedly. I'm not so fond of negative people or reggae or boring people or books about girls who struggle and in the end are saved by boys or big meat corporations.

Could it be they cried for me ? I dont think so.

We have a lot of mice here. I just saw one. They must be eating computer cords. Mice have little tiny hands and I like to imagine them deftly plucking off the cheese Shane placed on the mouse trap and...

I’ve been sinking down the drain of love

I am a haver of horrible nasty mean dreams. It's bad news. I'm so not into it. Anyone have a cure? And I found this quote: The waking have one world in common; sleepers have each a private worl...
