About Me

i like to record things around me because i claim to have a good memory, but sometimes i forget, so i have to write it all out- details like how the door creaked, and the way people laugh . i paint mediocre (but colorful) watercolors and i know what song will move you. I am studying Hispanic Literature in Peru and cant get over some of the things i have to read. i get overly excited about beautifully structured sentences and proceed to write them on my wall. i can finally do that now that i am living on my own and i love that. i still dream of big wooden bookshelfs, manuscripts sitting under turtle paperweights, and enormous windows someday.I also make the best impression of a bull ramming his horns into a bullfighters red cape.
