About Me


I am shy. I am small. I am terribly sensitive. I believe in trying to be nice all of the time. I like polite drivers. I like being barefoot in the grass. I like the way sand feels at the beach after its cooled down.I like photobooths.I don't like sports. I love to dance but have two left feet. I like the ocean air and being on boats even if I do get seasick. I like cats and small animals in general even if I am allergic. I like old dresses. I like summer nights spent with loved ones. I like record players. I like quaint musical instruments. I like books from the 60's and the smell of old bookstores. I like handmade objects. I like mixed tapes from friends. I like mini holiday island getaways. I like photographs and old polaroid cameras. I like flea markets. I like to sing. I like quiet old fashioned folks. I have a weakness for pastry shops. I like the smell of laundry. I like when its about to rain. I often love too deeply. I often cry at commercials. I worry but I am hopeful. I have terrible habits like biting my nails that I long to break myself of. I enjoy watching documentaries on historical events. I enjoy shows about animals. I get overwhelmed easily. I make lists and lose them.

Painting, Photography, taking strolls by the sea, making dioramas, watching films, sleeping, collecting everything!, thrift stores, music:making it, listening to it and watching it...
