About Me

i'm a 22 year-old english major at the university of texas at austin. sometimes i read, and sometimes i don't. i like music...sometimes i wish i'd followed that path instead of the written word, but you eat the stake you order. i used to play videogames, though i haven't really done much of that in a long while. i work at a bakery (no, we don't bake pies or cakes), and i also work in the admissions office of the university of texas at austin. that's kind of an ironic story if you'd like to hear it sometime. its been a long time since i've been involved in anything resembling a romantic relationship. i'd like to change that, though these years alone have made me comfortable and cautious. i like to watch movies on occasion. sometimes i have dreams that tell me to read certain books. sometimes i have dreams where i'm falling...you know the ones. sometimes i don't know when to stop writing...i think this is one of those times.
