About Me

i love asking people how their days were. concurrently, i love being asked.

i still view disaster as a form of code word. i really like the smell of chapstick.

every year i find a new reason why sunday's my favorite day of the week. i don't feel guilty about guilty pleasures.

by the time you read this, i will have spent student loan money on records. in my defense, they were really good records, and probably out of print.

i put the good in goodbye.
