Writing, reading, travelling. I enjoy plants. And flowers. And baths. Bath products. I have an abundance of crafty projects that remain half done, though hopefully soon I will have time to do them. I like to make lists. I have a fondness for oilcloth.
Someone who wants to give me a job when I graduate. My degree is very marketable. I will have an MA in Creative Writing! I'll take benefits too, thanks.

Davis, Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, Cole Swensen, Rilke, Yeats, Craig Arnold, John Berryman, Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, Muriel Rukeyser, Ooh, Richard Hugo.

Salinger), Uncle Shelby's ABZ's, Fear and Loathing, Girl with the Flammable Skirt, Birds of America, Philip K Dick, Raymond Carver, Borges, Kurt Vonnegut...etc.
Oh Ana Ventura, you will always be my hero. For those of you who don't know Ana, perhaps you will appreciate her beautiful way with words: "When I sober up in a few days,..." Who else...my mom and grandma are pretty bitchen ladies. Sheila Sheepskin is my hero too.
