About Me

inappropriately self-depracating and a little full of myself. a master of the proverbial defense mechanism... a lover. a fighter. a mechanical bull rider. an insincerity sighter. a fabrication writer...

My Interests

comics, music, reading and writing. utilitarian art. self analysis. gigantic pimento olives.driving. gakken emile berliner gramophone turntable.(my pop bought me one for my bday. it's killer.) making new stuff out of old stuff. making people feel good. being appreciated. being right all the time. being gently encouraged to rethink my convictions. not needing a car. laughing in bed. culinary mcguiverism. boys on bikes. being alone. reading comics while listening to records with someone. reading a book in the kitty cage at the humane society before work. daytime drinking. thrift stores. days when my skin is clear and i feel healthy. being able to articulate whats bothering me without becoming emotional. kaimuki. road trips. one-way tickets. penn station. west-philly houses with very high ceilings. montreal. conquering my technophobia. my typewriter. stitchery.
