About Me

i'm me
i’m impulsive, talkative, affectionate, complicated, vindictive, quixotic, distractible, intense, pugnacious, cynical, argumentative, vehement, precocious, moody, impetuous, disconcerting, patronizing, judgmental, incogitant, astute, enigmatic, obnoxious, inquisitive, supercilious, occasionally endearing, and all together too much to handle
♥
i spend most of my time in my favourite hole-in-the-wall cafe in a back alley writing about the world in a purple book
♥
i have a vocabulary fetish
♥
a fetish also, for piercings; i have lots, 22 to be exact
♥
i live for the moments in life that make me feel the same way i do when i listen to tom waits
♥
i'm not short, but am perceived to be
♥
reverse psychology is required to get me to do anything
♥
i go to uni
♥
last year i went to rmit...i was studying marketing there...i do not want to be a marketer
♥
now i go to monash...i'm studying arts there
♥
i plan to spend the year reading poetry and books about the renaissance
♥
i heart uni...it gives me an excuse to buy stationary
♥
if anyone, throughout the course of my entire life, ever uses the word ‘beatnik’ to describe me, i will die happy
♥
i have a really poor excuse for a signature; it’s just me writing my name
for this reason, i can never be famous
♥
i experience de ja vu far more often than is normal; i attribute it to a possible temporal lobe dysfunction
♥
i find that when I’m overtired, i reach this great point of delirium wherein my vocabulary is phenomenally impressive
♥
i have proclaimed my love for another on the back of a cocktail bar coaster
♥
when playing a word association game once, i was asked what animal i would be hypothetically if i could be any animal in the world…and without thinking, my response (for some reason) was ‘a puffin’
♥
i love perfume, and constantly enquire as to what scent people are wearing when i hug them
♥
i steal epicure out of the nearest copy of the age every tuesday
♥
i wear my hair in chopsticks, and pens, and paintbrushes, and knitting needles…anything long and pointy, really
♥
i touch things i shouldn’t…my curiosity is ungovernable
♥
i have a kitten named cleo...she is perfection in kitten form
♥
jeff buckley’s ‘twelfth of never’ will never cease to send chills through my body
♥
i like the way kiwifruit skin feels against the roof of my mouth
♥
one one occasion, i was chased by a goose
♥
and on more than one occasion, i have slipped over on flowers
♥
my favourite number is three
♥
i think that being a florist would be a cool occupation…i thought that before, and now after, i found out the freudian interpretation of such a desire
♥
i know lots of simpsons quotes...i find them useful
♥
there will be no panicking! at my disco
♥
although there may be cake
♥ ♥ ♥

♥
stumbling across songs that perfectly match whatever mood i’m in
♥
wearing black turtlenecks

the word ‘bunny’
♥
the mix CDs i made when i was 16, and how perfectly they encapsulate how lame i was when i made them
♥

albino pygmy marmosets
♥
hearing unintelligent people debate politics

having popcorn and a comfy seat to do the aforementioned

when songs you love get attached to people you grow to hate and are consequently ruined

burning my tongue on hot stuff...like coffee...or max brenner hot chocolate
