About Me

i'm nice. i like stand up comedians (janeane garafalo, margaret cho, brian posehn, jim gaffigan, etc). i eat a very ltd. diet because of my food allergies and... veganism:) and i'm not fun to go out to lunch/dinner with, but i'm pretty fun otherwise. various people have described me as intense, weird, and offbeat or hilarious and down to earth-- it depends on who you're asking. you can rely on two things about me: i'm always reading-- magazines of varied genere, novels, nutrition books, and POETRY. my goal in life is to list "writer" as my profession on gov't forms. the second constancy-- i'm always with my boyfriend. we are the elusive unconditional lovers. of course, we're mean to each other and border on crimes of passion sometimes, but we're generally inseparable. i go to bed early and wake up earlier. i love animals, learning, and being outside. i leave very long comments-- you have been warned. livejournal.

empty yourself and let the universe come into you.


A woman who writes feels too much,
those trances and portents!
As if cycles and children and islands
weren't enough; as if mourners and gossips
and vegetables were never enough.
She thinks she can warn the stars.
A writer is essentially a spy.
Dear love, I am that girl.
A man who writes knows too much,
such spells and fetiches!
As if erections and congresses and products
weren't enough; as if machines and galleons
and wars were never enough.
With used furniture he makes a tree.
A writer is essentially a crook.
Dear love, you are that man.
Never loving ourselves,
hating even our shoes and our hats,
we love each other, precious , precious .
Our hands are light blue and gentle.
Our eyes are full of terrible confessions.
But when we marry,
the children leave in disgust.
There is too much food and no one left over
to eat up all the weird abundance.
-Anne Sexton, "The Black Art"
