About Me



My Interests

wondering about the simple things in life like who or what stuffs pimentos into olives, or why the words that start with a "p" are all so putrid sounding, what the "h" stands for in jesus h. christ, and how shopping carts cannot physically leave a parking lot. A more concise list includes, but is not limited to: thrifting, wine in a box, bubble wrap,gaudy accessories,people watching, funnel cakes, dancing, stars, pseudo-dates, leaves crunching under my feet, peeing outside, manic stages of reading followed by prolonged periods of not reading, fashion, vintage records, quirky people, the color clear, oversleeping, nice hair, creativity, all things mini, sunglasses, vintage cars, owls, peacocks, ugly ashtrays, daisies, nintendo, boys who read poetry, dance dance revolution, chuck taylors, photos, amber jewelry, boys who breakdance, rain, magazines, pin-up girls, 60's modernism, body art, aprons, candlelight, pretending to be ghetto, and playing housewife.
