About Me

I am off in search of the great perhaps.
I enjoy making collages, focusing on hypothetical situations, and having a lot of unimportant things to do. I dislike earwigs, monkeys, and things that stick to your feet when you walk around without shoes. I want to go to Haiti. I think I have OCD. That's why I'm studying copyediting. I want to learn how to play polo, I guess. I feel sorry for a lot of people. Some call it condescending. Right now I'm thinking about the fact that Pete Wentz is probably the ugliest motherfucker I've ever seen. That's about it.
"I have written much less than most people who write; I have drunk much more than most people who drink."
I was but nineteen years of age when the incident occurred which has thrown a shadow over my life; and, ah me! how many and many a weary year has dragged by since then! Young, happy, and beloved I was in those long-departed days. They said that I was beautiful. The mirror now reflects a haggard old woman, with ashen lips and face of deadly pallor.
