My Interests

OKLAHOMA. Art. Sewing. Reading. Driving. words, especially when accompanied by beats. bookshelves. bikes. boxes. buildings. backroads by the woods. banana shakes. afros. walking. miniature anything (especially little asian kids). community. Deep sea creatures. Respect and compassion. Anyone who challenges what is culturally and unquestionably accepted. Design of all kinds. Hardware stores. Things I dont like...People who have to have condiments when they eat fast food because I always forget them, People who talk and wax poetic about ideas and dreams but never put any actual effort into seeing them through, the american dream, processed food, fences for yards, urban sprawl, stereotypes, bad punctuation, not staying in touch. Art, film and music snobs.
