About Me

i'm back. oh, and i really wanted to be an astronaut, whaler or chimney sweep for halloween this year, but that obviously fell through. just can't figure something out to beat the batgirl costume...
i dream of the great wide open. i listen to loud music. i sing along with it [poorly]. i love sugar. i want to give my room the makeover it always wanted. i say yes to falling snow, rain and sunlight. i am not ruled by my phone. i read. work is not my life. i have wander lust. i have wonder lust. sometimes i wake up with my cat sleeping on my face [little bugger]. i drink and love with reckless abandon at times. i am cautious at times. overwhelmingly quiet at times, raucous at others. i'm hard to get to know, but near impossible to forget. i'd rather be deaf than blind. i'm a film snob. i love scarves and jackets. i save my change in a piggy bank. my blood circulation is not what it used to be. i use a film camera. i collect postcards that i keep hidden away. i can make it on 2 hours of sleep a night, but it's not pretty. i prefer more. i love photo booths. i have scars. i can honestly say i have a piece of myself in a jar i keep on my bookshelf. i'm not sure i want a tv in my room. the right song can make me forget or remember everything. moments are fleeting. dog ear each page. i'd saturate the hell out of every picture i take if i could. i dream of fields of green, flat landscapes, trees in the fall. sitting in a corn field. sitting in a field of daisies. sitting in a field of grain. purple mountains majesties? oh, the places i'd go. sometimes i lose myself in the moment. i try to stop and smell the roses. sarcasm may one day be my downfall. i can be temperamental. i try to do what i can most days. sometimes i expect too much. out of others and myself. i take my coffee with cream. i take an aspirin a day. i can't see myself growing old(er). i'm scared of death. i spent 6 days of my life in alaska and i miss it almost everyday. as the years and people have gone by i've realized i'm more of a romantic than i once thought. i'm going to miss my childhood. i wish i played the accordion. i'm always/never alone.

being sick is boring

it's true. being sick is boring. at first it's quite luxurious. the sleeping in, the taking random naps. all the fluids and food you can eat, the price is right, all the reading and watching of movies...

transitional elements

Without the transitional elements, each sentence almost sounds as though it is an island unto itself, as though it is unrelated to the other sentences in the paragraph.   my oh my, how my life ha...
