All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds.

About Me

An old soul in the shape of a girl. Studying how to make homes beautiful with other people's money. I'll be an idealist until the day I die, holding out for the best, planting lillacs like landmines.>

It's more important to be kind than right.

My Interests

Metaphor, humbleness, adjectives, wardrobe remix, yelp.com, shapes of mouths, eyeliner, tofu scramble, mid-century modern furniture.

I'd like to meet:

A real embodied heart that knows something about anything.

Mermaids. Gloom pioneers. Undersea aquatic life. Anyone with glasses.

(You make my insides feel like warm laundry.)Also: Fat dogs and miniature versions of regular sized things.

Music:

Daniel Johnston, Sigur Ros, mixtapes circa 1998.

Movies:

Science and nature documentaries.

Small Space Big Style, MonsterQuest.

Invisible silence like folded flags.

This is what I'm doing with myself now, no longer just taking up girl-shaped space or listening to echoes ricochet off my phony grown-up dreams. I'm breathing with a little more intent, I'm matching o...

My daydreams materialize and they’re just material things.

I'd like you to meet my children, they resemble autumnal footwear....

I am a giant (land) mass, I never go to mass.

There is currently an act of plate tectonics happening but instead of continents it is my past and present little lives acting out a dramatic collision, now what do you suppose that means.
