About Me

I believe that peculiar traveling plans are dancing lessons from god.

I think that guitars make pretty noises, but that cellos make prettier noises.

I think that they should be played together.

Friendship is pretty important to me, I'd say I am a Gryffindor.

I wish that I wasnt so immersed in Harry Potter that I actually just made that connection.

I dont like Fish, I kinda like Phish, and I think Simon Dawes is a better meal than any birthday steak I've ever had.

I believe in the Force. And I think that we are connected.

I think I am the only person I know that loved High School.

Maybe I didnt. I dont know. I had a good time. College was weird, and Real Life scares me.

I am going to be changing this section a lot, now that I have broken the barrier of editing it after 4 years. Wow.

I do like Stars though. And I do love Art.

My Interests

Music, acting, Film, Writing, sophisticated conversation, eyes, jazz chords, the sky, the way that you feel when you blink, essoteric nuances, blatant obscurities, words that mean everything and nothing all at once, the buzz, all the rest

oh yes. they both reached for the gun

It was odd then, that it should come to this. The honesty between them just an extension of the lies that they had espoused all along. 'just tell me the truth', it could have been an invitation for ...
