About Me

dreamer. Hopeless romantic. i have awfull nightmares. don't smoke. don't smile too much. don't talk either. Draw all the time, anywhere. Always the same kinda stuff. I like beautiful places, with a past. I like people who look like they just came out of a book. I wish life was as surprising as some books. I always know what's going to happen next. I wish I didn't because i make all the mistakes anyway. I like corsets|merry-go-round|tophats|strange creatures|fairys|circus people| film noir| vampires| clocks (pocket)| belly dancing... Wish i could write in english without spelling mistakes
I always knew that I wanted to be an artist. I never even thought about it. It was always there in the back of my head. We had those forms in school, just stupid forms you had to fill out where they asked you all sorts of things. For example, what you want to be when you grow up. There were a lot of choices to make and I always picked artist. I never once picked doctor, lawyer, firemen or something like that. It was always artist. I always knew that I wanted to be creative, that I wanted to create something. Even if I didn't know what when I was a child. - Maynard James Keenan
