About Me

I am a 28 year-old Ph.D. student who studies literature. I grew up in the hinterland of Wyoming before my great escape to California. I now live in an overpriced apartment near the beach with my two cats. We love the sunsets here.If you really want to know more, you can read my livejournal .
