About Me


I'm idealistic, over-romanticising everything. I have a dangerous tendency to fall in love with the potential of something, then get terribly heartbroken and disappointed when it doesn't live up to my pre-fabricated and unrealistic standards.

My Interests

really nerdy shit and sexy shoes and rain and stripes and sparkly things and learning to ski

I'd like to meet:



Myself in ten years, so I can rest assured that it all turns out okay.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Music:

I don't care, just give it to me live.

Movies:

Yes, please, with popcorn and milkduds and diet coke on the side.

Television:

Grey's and baseball keep me happy.

Books:

...allow me to procrastinate and still feel smart.

My Blog

freckles and a big heart

There are several physical characteristics I inherited from my mother, most notably the freckles, but I never really stopped to consider the less-tangible traits until her death. Sure, everyone picks...

lookin' pretty good for thirty

Age is but a number... yet this particular number brought along some unexpected emotional distress. I've been beating myself up the past few weeks over all the things I was "supposed" to accomplish b...

self-immolation

I am managing about three solid hours of sleep these days, those hours filled with intense dreams. They aren't necessarily bad dreams, they're just so draining. I wake up with heart pounding, head spi...

I just can't hang with this shit

Band: great. Company: wonderful. Me: fucking adorable (I have it on good authority that I turn heads, cats-n-kits). I tell myself I'm not going to drink, then let random guys buy me shots. I sta...

reintroducing miss dorothy gale

I've been feeling displaced again, like a character in a movie that has somehow managed to wander onto the wrong set. You know how in The Wizard of Oz, when the tornado finally sets her down and Do...

revisitation

From November of last year: "It occured to me today that pure emotion is by nature inexpressible. It is something that drives you to act, but not to speak. Whatever it is that stirs within -- rage,...
