Elsy May

You have nothing to live up to, you have nothing to live down.

About Me

An introverted extrovert, an optimistic pessimist, a hopeless romantic, and a little bit of everything and nothing all at once.

My Interests

that 60s record smell, photography, Europe, the chills, feminism, KPFK, google maps street view, detectives, the smell of photo chemicals on my hands, transparency, BBC World News, exploring new places, tea, cold days, late nights, double entendres, sadness. Anthropomorphism!

Movies:

I've seen some really good movies and I've seen some really shitty movies, but my favorites are based solely on the fact that I have an atrocious memory.

Television:

personalities.

Books:

People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading. - Logan Pearsall Smith

Heroes:


I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
-Sylvia Plath
