The Queen of Cleveland

i could write an amazing memoir if i had a better memory.

About Me

i make collages, i bake cookies, and i use the word "fuck" too much.
i used to collect airline vomit bags. then i collected snowglobes, but my snowglobe shelf is getting full. so now i'm collecting playing cards that i find in the street (it's more common than you'd expect) and vinyl toys from shoparooni.
i have a boyfriend who is a genius. and he knows it. he's probably better than you at something. i am retarded for him.
i dislike socks, but i love chuck taylors and old doc martens. this means i have smelly feet most of the time.
i like going to the parkview, but only when jason is working. i like my whiskey in a big glass with lots of ice, but it better be maker's mark (or jameson, but only if it's with jean brandt).
i am THIS CLOSE to actually being legally blind, but i love my glasses, so it's no big deal. i have a lot of scarves (because i can only knit in rectangles) and a lot of jackets (because i just like jackets), though i dislike the cold. i also have a lot of underpants. yes, i call them underpants. yes, i realize this makes me sound like i'm 5.
i have four parents that i get along great with. they are all white, but for some reason two of them celebrated kwanzaa once. i have seven siblings, but i'm an only child.
here's what i love: the skeleton key necklace that ryan had made for me, macaroni and cheese, my great aunt edna's ring, munnys, wearing my hair in pigtails, my vintage vision street wear duane peters sneakers, seattle's best coffee, the smell of vinyl, watching my ridiculous fish that looks like hitler swim upside down, peanut butter sauce on ice cream, blowing in zeke's face so he has to rub it on the floor, jon auer's cover of "swingin' party" by the replacements, the posies in general, our new pink polka-dot comforter, felt tip pens, ball chain, and an occasionally smelly narcoleptic with greasy hands and good hair.
here's what i hate: berries, jack daniels, james taylor, straight edge, aging goth guys, chinstraps, cleaning up dog poop, the sound of children singing, people who lie like it's their job, and about 1/3 of my tattoos.
here's what i am learning to not hate: the beatles, various vegetables.
here's what i want to learn to do: yoga, yo-yo tricks, and possibly other things that begin with the letter y.
