playin' with my all-girl metal band SHRAPknyL! making movies, limeade, hammocks, power tools, that brief point when the sun soaks into your skin and makes you warm all the way through just before you start sweating, sisters, mud, making weird sculptures, travel, swimmin', coffee, staying up late, watching cartoons, bicycle, free haircuts, fiesta mart, scars, swearing in foreign languages, jazz pianists, the smell of old books, wearing costumes, licking your face when you're not looking, dance parties, teaparties, slumber parties, cowgirl boots, blonde little brothers, foodfights, Where's my tractor?, kickball!, prank calls, treefort, Flashdance and Lola, superheroes, flan.
The pony that never dies and moviemakers who want to hire me as their art department.

nope, we don't have cable. I live in Laura Ingall's world, no laptop, no text messaging. We wash our hair in the rainwater hogshed, play the fiddle deep into the night and dance in calico printed frocks. Cornpone.
yes please- whatever I can get my hands on. When I was a kid I would read under the covers with a flashlight until it got taken away and then I would read by the faint green glow of my digital alarm clock. Really. My Mam would take my book away too but I was always reading five at once and just pulled a spare out from under my pillow. I've been nocturnal since I was a munchkin....no wonder I work at a bar. Right now? Alternating between the Brothers Karamazov and the Calvin and Hobbes collection.
my grandma- she's well read, well travelled, beautiful and bad ass. She raised a giant family pretty much single handedly-on a farm no less, killing rattlers and driving combines. She makes the most amazing culinary concoctions ever, grows her own food and has something like 25 grandkids and 4 great grandkids. She truly keeps the family together and if I turn out half as cool as she, I'll be a success.Also: FAST WARREN HODE, naturally.
