About Me


-inist.
i aspire to make the world shine with my lipgloss wand. i like really old carousels and pieces of tacky americana. cotton candy tastes like the lining of a sugar cloud. i like tikis and photobooths, roses and marigolds, whiskers on my kittens, and miss snowflakes and wearing mittens. i'm forever a bostonian-at-heart valley girl transplant who's lived in a bitchin' southern world, but is now in the NW. sometimes i say y'all and mean it. i dislike the west coast. i've fluttered through more places than a lost butterfly in a moon garden. i believe in plum faeries and garden gnomes. i wear a lot of knee highs, but i used to be a glowing raverchild. i collect unique things and lucite rings. i work hard. catch me if you can. i used to be a pin-up girl, but now i prefer to be the one behind the lens. i treasure pictures. my family just gave me a fisheye and a diana camera so i'll be back to playing with film. graffiti/street art is hawtt. i've turned into a tea snob and can generally be found steeping loose leaf teas and trundling through my garden in umbrella-patterned rain boots. i love geraniums and marigolds and other small plants that are meant for non-permanent garden plots. peonies are my favorite flower, though. fog is my older cat...he's an ancient soul and can see through walls. lily is PUNK. she wears pup-clothes and will box you if she gets the chance, however if she likes you she'll purr in your lap. she has a lion-cut. somewhat recently i adopted a boy-rat whose name is sir spooky yarn; he was named by 4 year olds! even more recently my girlfriend and i rescued another little ratboy - his name is gustavo; gus for short. he and spooky don't get along so they live in separate worlds. i didn't know anything about rats, but i could write a whole book now. always, always adopt animals! buying an animal from a store or breeder only ensures an animal in a shelter will die. you can adopt ANY animal - didja know? birds, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and of course cats n dogs. go vegan and rock-it cruelty-free style. feel free to come to me with any questions you might have!
Sometimes it can take me a while to write back. Please don't take it personally ♥ I tend to respond faster with comments, so if you've just added me, why not tell me something totally random. It's fun!
The 'chutes think I'm sexy and talk about crayons: watch!

Movies:


Fast Times at Ridgemont High
I am insane about movies; Netflix is my Other Lover. Every night before bed I at least start a new film...sometimes I finish, other times I have to wait until the next night or the night after to watch the rest of its chapter. I used to be insane about books, but lately my attention span has waned and now it's moviesmoviesmovies. Originally I got Netflix so I could see movies people would gasp to me over, "O M G you haven't seen Pulp Fiction?!?!" Well, now I have many times over, but I've also seen such rare gems as "Spellbound". Independent, Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Dramedy, Foreign, and Classic films are my favorites.
