i wandered where my mind and my heart seemed to be lost. i wandered away.

About Me

addicted to gasoline and coffee. like to sing along with thom yorke in car and fantasize about running into phone poles. obsessed with death and beauty, plagued by nightmares, struggle with making art, love fashion, photography, magazines, images, images, images, books, books, books, music, art. everything that goes in my head stays in my head. left-handed. heavily involved with the acquisition of unconventional beauty products and quite convinced that having more money really would make me happier - or at least help me to create more flattering lighting schemes in my house and enjoy higher thread count sheets. i think the atmosphere is burning off, the sunlight was less obnoxious in the 1970s and that the world is, as my grandmother would say, going to hell in a handbasket. also, i like scissors.
