About Me


I'm a mess but totally organized. I'm always chewing gum. I love Vegas. I draw and it puts me in a certain peace. I have a Thomas Guide in my head. I always smell like Chanel. I get along better with boys than with girls. I intensely dislike children and dogs. Weddings and other people's families make me uncomfortable. But I do like funerals. Everything in my closet is black, white, or a shade between the two. I swear a lot. I hate explanations, repetition and bitching. I feel most comfortable in a skirt and heels. I've been surrounded by musicans and artists all my life and know better than to find a significant other that's either. I love tattoos. My favourite smell is lemons. I really like maps and the fine print on legal documents. Don't try to follow me.
If you're not creatively driven, we probably won't get along.
