About Me

i like letters and notebooks and cooking. i love music and gigs and getting obsessed with one single song at a time and listening to it over and over. i like making zines with a typewriter, scissors and glue. i love my cats and my love. i like the english seaside and chips on the beach. i like the public library where i'm sitting now. i love this town and the crazy people who live here. i like zines like doris and a cleaner light and a country punk and greenzine and dishes. i like doing it myself. i like going to places i know nothing about, espacially when there's a language barrier. i like sex and trying stuff out and laughing when it goes wrong. i love films though i never see any these days. i like waitressing, but not enough to do it all my life. i like helping poeple and i love random encounters with strangers on trains or bridges or anywhere really. i love my friends one at a time, or sometimes in twos. *i wish i was more articulate. i wish i didn't let everybody down. i wish i knew more about everything but especially about politics and nature. i wish i could afford to buy music. *i hate bigotry and black and white views. i don't mind being locked out all that much. i hate parties til i'm drunk and then i love them. i hate being me sometimes, and sometimes else it's okay. i hate seeing people upset. i don't care when people fart near me. i hate inhibitions and when people are embarassed by things that aren't embarassing. * i believe in magic but i don't believe in fate. secrets little ace things, that's what makes it all worthwhile.that's all for now.
