About Me

i'm a delightfully wicked, borderline misanthropic, often optimistic, slightly pornographic dichotomy of the sacred and the profane. i'm also moody, curious, empathetic, and just a shade jaded, so i'm sometimes hard to impress. please don't try too hard. brilliant conversation has to come naturally.
i pull over to rescue injured animals. i'm a chronic insomniac. i have more pretty underwear than any pudge girl that i know. i wouldn't punch you for stealing a cookie. i've always wished i'd taken piano lessons. i'm delighted by comic books, though i dont read enough of them. i'd move to a new country every year if i could. i'm oddly enthralled by shark week. i despise people who kiss up - especially if they kiss up to me. i tug on my lower lip when i'm nervous or bored. i'll spend 10 minutes digging around in my purse or pockets for change to fork over to homeless people. i love poison lockets. i hate country music. i once cried watching the octopus episode of iron chef. sometimes i'd give my last breath or my last dime to make you happy, sometimes i wish you'd get hit by a train - but i'm equally sincere about both. i sometimes foresake IFC for TVLAND, but i dont like to admit it. i have a hard time finding cool shoes in my size. i'm a ruthless judge of poetry and will almost certainly find yours trite and derivative. i am deeply touched by people who pay attention. i have an innate disdain for the whitewashed and palatable. i love the word "sentinel". i still find solace in the hundred acre wood. i hate marshmallow peeps. i love driving a stickshift. empty theatres and churches are sacred spaces that make me feel honest, connected, and whole. and many of my dreams involve my having wings.
I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience.

quote of the week re: apricots

"mmm... i love how they feel when you run your tongue over them.  like flesh but... the absolutely softest flesh.  i'll bet this is what babies taste like."
