Critter saves the day

my dreams tell me the past i've never lived.

About Me

I play cello/horn in the band "The Barrettes" I do studio recording, live performance, or I'll start a new project with you! YeaY! (=cello/vocals/other stuff=) i like: hugs, shiny things, laugh attacks, climbing trees, city walking and exploring, being sad sometimes, building forts in the woods for friends and secrets, running with goats, tire swings, storms, that horrible burning feeling when your in love, learning from elders, fresh new soybeans, swimming in the purest form, long drives to places I've never been, closing my eyes, dreaming, people watching, feeling free.

My Interests

cello, music with windows down and warm sunny breeze, my cats, reading, friends, roller derby, the sound/look/feel/taste of old cars, abandon buildings and houses, sewing, sloths, Belgium beer and good ol' PBR, the absurd, looking through cracks and holes, daydreaming, pretending, people who want to get to know me, bmxers, skateboarders, bikes, boysandgirls, body mods, collecting old electronic children's toys then opening them up and messing with their insides, tornadoes, being seduced, going places i've never been, showing rather than telling, not working a job, baseball, bowling, making out, skirts with tights and boots, chapstick, vitamin B, cooking, sleep overs, refusing to be an "adult", exploring, learning, fake fart noises, popping bubble wrap, chewing on straws, you.

I'd like to meet:
