About Me

I either sleep too much or too little. I always have dark circles under my eyes. A lot of the time my spine feels like it's trying to escape, but so far only a bit of it has managed. I feel much older than most people would assume, and much younger as well. I keep my windows open in the rain. The most delicious thing I can imagine is a strawberry the size of my fist.

My Interests

Books, eating fruit, records, trying to understand this new language, riding bikes, drinking soda, making stuff and doing things, zines, my beautiful dog Louie (RIP), self imposed deadlines, trying to sleep, my heart pounding out of my chest, sleeping with the windows open during a spring rain, hugs from good friends, traveling to strange places, feeling fearless, acrobatics, vegan baking, my skeleton apron, screenprinting, sewing by hand and breaking needles off in my machine, homemade tattoos, my favorite flower only existing in a different country, free food, quantum physics, flat shoes, my family.

I'd like to meet:

No one. But I do have a question. How is it that every girl alive learned how to do her hair and I never did? Are there lessons I somehow missed? I always thought you just brushed it and that was it.

Books:

I'll read anything. And by anything I mean.. you know.. cereal boxes, maps, dictionaries... I read cookbooks from cover to cover. The two most beautiful books I have read thus far were actually zines. Comic zines at that: Invincible Summer and Sounds of Your Name.

Heroes:

She was so strong.

My Blog

Tengo Sueno (Donde esta la tilda?)

I've been having crazy dreams ever since I've been here. I suppose it's not much different than any other time, but now all the dreams are in super broken spanish. Little snippets of phrases I've hear...

Skinny armed tornado

Moving is a gigantic pain in the ass. I usually think of myself as someone with very little stuff. Not many clothes, bairly any furniture, and nothing really worth any money, that's for sure. But tryi...

Death likes Lemon Drops, pass it on

A day off. I really needed it, the sleep, the nothing-to-do. It started with nightmares. He was in the living room with me... talking.. I can't remember what about. Then we were sitting in some bleach...
