About Me

tacos.

-i enjoy competitive vomit threats

-i dont like when men cover songs written by women and change any "he"s to "she"s or when women cover songs written by men and change any "she"s to "he"s

-I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed... or buy anything sold or processed... or process anything sold, bought or processed... or repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

-im big big big on grudges


-i want a home. in the home i want a reproduction of the portrait in Harvey of Jimmy Stewart and Harvey, if you are a vaguely skilled oil painter feel free to make me one. I will also need a stuffed albatross. preferably one of Walter Potters. i will need a large wall on which to hang a henry darger painting that obviously i have the means to purchase. and with any hope a nice big heavy old library table, so i have something comforting on which to languidly drape myself during particularly dramatic fits of ennui, and something sturdy on which to dance during particularly dramatic fits of dancing. but you know.... just living with my parents surrounded by boxes is probably fine too.
