About Me

I'm a writer, artist, designer, and poet. I'm funny, creative, and loyal. I'm also emo, snarky, and forgetful. I drink too much, smoke too much , eat too much, talk too much and spend too much. I constantly have to be reminded to use my "inside voice". Some people think I'm delightful. Some folks find me a little overwhelming.
I'm nearing 30, and every year surprises me. I live with my boyfriend in Virginia Beach, 20 minutes from the oceanfront aaaaand I can't remember the last time I actually swam in the sea. I'm a bad local, I guess. We have two cats and a lot of dead plants and more books than any person ever needed. I hope someday to make my living painting and drawing and writing. When I get to a point where I'm working from home, I will never wear real clothes again... I'll spend every day in my pajamas.
