My Interests

Using the macro-mode on my camera when taking photos, organizing my closet by color, baking oatmeal cookies, watching cheesy horror flicks like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, wearing pointy shoes, applying eyeliner on perfectly the first time, writing papers, dancing in train stations, or anywhere else, except dance floors, argyle socks, cat-napping with the cat, eskeletor gigante, skipping, playing zombies while pretending to smoke out of my bubble pipe, holding hands, Bizarro, lingering hugs and kisses, pretending to be a pretentious art fanatic while at museums, using my sewing machine to make things, the art of target clearance shopping, reading ROM Spaceknight comics
