witch hunt for another girl

About Me

I live directly beneath the hole in the ozone layer. Even in winter, it feels like summer here. I have red and black hair that often needs dying, & pale skin I think I inherited from Eastern Europe. My name is Lily, & I paint my mouth red. The red rubs off on the cigarettes I smoke & the boy I kiss. I dont think either of them mind.I went to school for 13 of my 17 years, until August when I dropped it in favour of staying home & listening to Billie Holiday & smoking roll your own cigarettes out the kitchen window.I have a biscuit named Daniel, he has black black hair and a ring in his lip. He makes me crazy/insane. I stopped thinking about how I'd ever survive without him a while ago, because I know he'll always be there. Yeah.Daniel has a little girl, Rose. I've tried to tell her she's a princess, but her answer is always that she's a wild thing. She'll be 3 in December, & she is the most pure, beautiful thing I have ever come across. Somtimes I get so scared for her I feel like Im dying, knowing that one day boys are going break her heart & teachers are going to yell at her& that things may make her cry for no reason. But I know she'll be ok, she's a tough little fighter.I never know what to say in these mini biographies. It's hard, I think, to talk about yourself, to know what someone else wants you to say. What can I say, at all, that will make you think you know what "kind" of girl I am. Shall I show you photographs, shall I post lists of bands I like and films I like and test results telling you what kind of rubber duckie I am?Maybe
