About Me


i'm as honest as a photobooth, and a little like a yellow sofa.

My Interests



i long to taste AVENCHURE...

WATER
drowning
light
dark
junkyards
black stars
happy endings
patents pending
letting go
holding on
lists
words
thoughts
intents
completers
defeaters
the last girl
the last reason
the first kiss
the first time
AIR
