About Me

I collect colors and textures and shapes and clutter my mind with them. I also collect words, and hold the fervent belief that the right ones in the right order can change the anatomy of your world in a single moment. I think too much, feel too much, and will most likely spend my whole life trying to explain.All my secrets are as thus: to make me cry, play a piano chord. To make me smile, hand me a cup of tea and tell me your deepest revelations. To make me happy, make me sad in the most perfectly melancholy and nostalgic way. The rest is whim.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are plenty of authors that I wish I could meet, like A.S. Byatt and Jeanette Winterson, but somehow I feel like it would be better to never do so; it might ruin their books for me. Likewise for Emily Dickinson, Van Gogh, and Sutton Foster. I think I would find that I prefer the illusion to the reality.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

mindless rant--don't read this, really

Swearing feels very nice.  Fuck fuck fuck; fuck the world, fuck you, fuck your mother, fuck your mother's aunt's cousin's husband's dog's puppy twice removed. I hate feeling so fucking angry...i...

entertaining survey--I had to save it :D

Put your music player on shuffle. Press forward for each question. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if they don't make sense. You'll be surprised though. How am I feeling today? ...
