My Interests

I hate people who look at you like they know you, and have you all figured out. I hate when you meet a cute guy, and he automatically thinks you want to be his girlfriend. I hate riding the bus. And I hate that no one takes local art seriously in this city. .. width="480" height="395" ..I love the look of the city after everyone has gone home for the day. I love the bustle of people in the mornings, half asleep, but sort of friendly. I love loud music after a hard day. I love parties with all kinds of strangers. I love a cigarette with a good glass of wine. And I love taking off my shoes at the end of the day, no matter how pretty they are. oh and sweet Alex... he's the love of my life!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet relaxed people. The less drama the better. Someone who is confident in his or her life, or at least their direction. People who don't lie. And kind souls.

I'd like to share something...

sometimes I write something and it came out of me in a way that it makes me revisit it, until I feel that every word was "intentional". The times seem to happen when I am deep in an self obsessing si...
