About Me

sparkin.livejournal.com
And now... grad school. Hello south.Traded one old money town for another. Missing Boston.Filled with a yearning for and complete refusal of practicality, sound judgement, tact, and control over personal demons. Fear. Fear of chaos, of the uncertain portions of fate and humanity. I should know better at 26, but perhaps not. A few things I currently regret and need to work on are not dancing enough, not using my mind and body enough, not reading as much as i'd like, not writing, or conversing with friends. If you desire my company, there may be a deliciously home-made treat or dinner in it for you. So just ask.

My Interests

Musical excursions, dancing with soul, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, cinematic explorations, late-night spiritual awakenings, silly gatherings, cooking, thai food, tea of many varieties, drug policy reform, traveling, socializing, communicating
