walking around pretending i don't give a shit when really i look like that because i just don't know shit about nuthin. oh, and i like making crap. whether it be making art, food, books, scarves, jokes, i like it. and i'm sure i can make fun of you better than most. i also have a slight obsession with sounds and words, records and books (oh, and bacon). my paychecks don't accommodate the obsessions, though. lovely is my favorite word. lovely. and anyone that wants to give me an upright piano or a rhodes is most certainly welcome into my world.
