About Me

"She sleeps like a girl and wakes like a woman." -- Teitur

Life is way too short (and yet way too long) to be anything but mostly happy. Discovering I didn't know what to do with my life was the best thing to have ever happened. I decided to start checking of my list of dreams and spent an incredible summer as a Kentuckified Cape Cod girl; I moved in with a bunch of strangers (who have mad my life undeniably better), got a job at the CCMuseum of Art and met as many people as possible. My days were spent on the bay side, my nights at reggae concerts, a cappella gigs, the Squire and Star Wars with the best of roomies.Life is slow now, but still interesting, still traveling and meeting newbies and working on finding who and where I should be. But that's what time is for.
Ultimately, if I'm going to hell in a handbasket, I'm going straight to heaven on horseback. It is the epitome of happiness. I've been riding since I was six months in the womb and forever will be. Cloud is the love of my life, and Crawford is my lovable kid brother. What better way to feel infinite?

Oh. And I MISS STELLA.

Bananas are good for you. Eat a banana!!
