I am here for Friends

About Me

Hide on the promenade, etch a postcard: How I dearly wish I was not here in the seaside town that they forgot to bomb.

Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime. Now, I don't care... meet me tonight! If you dare, I will dare.

My Interests

The Lean Woman Blues, gin, weighing less than all of you combined, Cakewalk Kinetic, theatricality, being stuck out in the desert knowing I'm going to die/ wiping the salt and sand from my blistering eyes, being outside on sunny days, groupies/roadies/hangers-on, the underappreciated art of mixtape-making, pink lemonade, THE GIRL WITH THE LONG DARK HAIR, waiting on the lines of greens and blues, sleeping a lot, "You can try to change your heart, that's true. But you never ever do", humming/whistling, Brian Wilson, "working on my novel", undaunted courage, photography, Batman, writing lists of my interests that don't make much sense, Schuba's, Rumble in the Jumble.

I'd like to meet:

Batman; Kurt Vonnegut; Chuck Klosterman; Stephen Malkmus; Anyone who's willing to judge me based on my looks and what little information about myself I've provided here. I mean, come on. That's what myspace is all about.

Oh, I dunno. Maybe Chan Marshall?
