Remember when the boys were all electric?

About Me


I like coffee, cigarettes, books read so often they're falling apart, that smell when it rains, living vicariously, photography, and oxford commas.
Odds are, I like you too.
Pretty much I used to be a depressing girl that wore only band shirts and jeans, always had headphones on and wrote shitty poetry on Shari's napkins whenever I got a hold of a pen. Lately I'm happier than I've ever been. It's rather nice, really.
You should try it.

Shit photography and then some!
well, they didn't like that much i can tell you
said 'sunshine, i wouldn't wanna be in your shoes'
they chased me up two flights of stairs
caught me in the lift how i sighed and said
hello, 'cause you're impossible.
The Libertines, 'Up The Bracket'
NME: What's the best prank you could play on another band?
Keith, WAS: We could convince Arctic Monkeys we've had the chart results in and they're Number Two. It'd psychologically cripple them.
