Cataclysm in Repose

About Me



"When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow"

"...hindsight creates the illusion of inevitability...hindsight swaps the end for the beginning, and lends the false casualty and momentum of a plot to what is the banal, meandering, un-story-like way people actually make choices in the face of an unknowable future"

Perfectionist. Part A-type, part C-type personality. Addicted to sweets, coffee, and naps. Way too busy for my liking. I'll give a lot to people who matter. I used to be a socialite, but I'm not really willing to put forth the effort anymore. Champagne is best. I'm completely smitten and very happily accounted for, wondering how the hell I got so lucky.

My Interests



good light roast coffees and great coffee houses to drink them in, east coast style (i pay money to look like it, not to look like a hobo), satire, warm sheets, stationary and other paper goods, hermit crabs, the New York Times and NY Mag, the Central Coast...my heart is in Carmel, little dogs, lots of things. i'm easily amused.

I'd like to meet:



People without alterior motives to converse with, but other than that I'm very content with my current situation. I've already got a favourite person.
