About Me


Observations on the state of things at 26.
Things you should know about me:
- I'd rather be fighting the man and pinching my own nipple.
- I'm going to start a non-profit legal firm for economically disadvantaged individuals in need of a family law lawyer.
- I have an emotionally sensitive, empathetic, and highly exciteable 5 year old daughter named Lillian.
She is sassy, brilliant, creative and asks me if I have any Wilco in the car.
- I don't sleep very much. Ever. Which prompts me to consume vast quantities of caffeine as a substitute for slumber. It's a matter of pride.
- I look good in glasses.
- I have a weakness for boys with large brains, even larger vocabularies, and indiscriminate musical taste. And beards. Oh my golly, beards.
- I can name all the sitting Supreme Court Justices and the presidents who appointed them. It's my parlor trick.
-I buy Aim toothpaste because it reminds me of childhood summers with my Dad.
- I can be impatient, stubborn when I choose, and anal-retentive about organization and cleanliness.
- I like to write and as such, have a Live Journal which serves more as a record of events past anymore.
- I'm a blogger , a MOG-er and I have a Last.fm . See what I'm up to.
- I like to sing when I go down on boys, which is often. That I like it. Oh, you and your slutty misconceptions...
- I'm that girl, you know, the one with all the music.
- I often like to drink imported beer and dance.
- Sometimes I like to drink too much of beverages such as whiskey and dissolve myself in some Mars Volta...
- I WILL beat you at Connect Four.
- I have the great fortune of knowing so many brilliant and talented people, I almost feel too lucky.
- I learned to sing from my soul and liked the sound of what came out.
- I like to take pictures of eyes.
- I can't get enough of Haruki Murakami. "I'd stare at my face purely as a physical object, and gradually it would disconnect from the rest of me, becoming just some thing that happened to exist at the time as myself. And a realization would come to me: This is happening here and now. It's got nothing to do with footprints. Reality and I exist simultaneously at this present moment. That's the most important thing."
- I love every single, metaphorical, screaming, chaotic cell that is life.
- Melody can heal anything.

Books:


'The boys was sittin in a grove of trees, listenin to Buddy explain the keys. Boys, sez he, the Dharma is a door...Let's see...Boys, I say the keys, cause there's lotsa keys, but only one door, one hive for the bees. So listen to me, and I'll try to tell all, as I heard it long ago, in the Pure Land Hall. For you good boys, with wine-soaked teeth, that can't understand these words on a heath, I'll make it simpler, like a bottle of wine, and a good woodfire, under stars divine. Now listen to me, and when you have learned the Dharma of the Buddhas of old and yearned, to sit down with the truth, under a lonesome tree, in Yuma Arizony, or anywhere you be, don't thank me for tellin, what was told me, this is the wheel I'm a-turnin, this is the reason I be: Mind is the Maker, for no reason at all, for all this creation, created to fall.'

- from "The Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac
