I am here for Friends

About Me

hey. i'm sara benjamin takacs. i'll answer to any combination of that.
And then black night. That blackness was sublime.
I felt distributed through space and time:
One foot upon a mountaintop, one hand
Under the pebbles of a panting strand,
One ear in Italy, one eye in Spain,
In caves, my blood, and in the stars, my brain.
There were dull throbs in my Triassic;green
Optical spots in Upper Pleistocene,
An icy shiver down my Age of Stone,
And all tomorrows in my funnybone.

sara benjamin takacs = craves attention, messy, open, rash, irritable, likes large parties, low self control, weird, fragile, does not like to be alone, emotionally sensitive, worrying, depressed, heart over mind, does not respect authority, dependent, not rule conscious, not good at saving money, more interested in relationships than intellectual pursuits, very social, frequently second guesses self, phobic, suspicious, not careful, outgoing, vain, compassionate, aggressive, likes to make fun, hates to lose
...and my heart leapt!

My Interests

planting cherry trees, fencing, code breaking, chinkozippywapping, one twenty nine records.

be everywhere. do everything. and never fail to astonish.

I'd like to meet:

all my heros [i've met a number of them already!]. and whoever has all the answers. and my oma when she was twenty. John Singer Sargent, and i'd ask him to paint me. and a Jakob Grace, all for myself. someone who makes everything else go away.
