About Me


Friday, 28 September!
Hi, I'm Cortnee. Some people call me free-spirited & quirky. I like volkswagens & pugs.
I've recently fulfilled my lifetime quota of getting my heart broken, so in order to keep myself from becoming even more jaded & cynical, I plan to spend the next year working, finishing my art degree & focusing on moving from Dirty Jersey to Manhattan.
Oh, it's taking so long--I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh, but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume, it's still unsteady
Oh I'm never really ready, I'm never really ready
I'm in repair, I'm not together but I'm getting there
I'm in repair, I'm not together but i'm getting there

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...

Oh yes, & many many pugs.
