About Me

writing things in these boxes always results in people taking themselves faaaaaar too seriously.
i graduated culinary school and now i have no idea what the fuck i'm going to do. any suggestions? i really like food photography, and just photography in general. reading is probably one of the few things that really inspires me and highlighting and copying passages is a pastime, no really. if you're one of those people who puts "i don't read" in your profile, keep away. i quit smoking.. kinda, okay, not really. i like marijuana. all things pop culture are embedded in my brain. bleeding heart liberal. i like mimicking everyone and shopping. well on my way to mastering the subtle art of irony. i have a mac and a saturn.
* if for some reason you've found me because you knew me in high school, don't expect me to jump at the chance to reply to your "hey, remember me?" messages because we most likely have nothing to talk about, and chitchat is ridiculous. but if you actually have something to SAY, please do so. *
i like details.
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." ~ Oscar Wilde.
I take pictures . Of everything. Mostly food. And Marty.

"If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend
for the end
of the world"


people with good taste. those who dismiss apathy and allow themselves to feel passionately about something bigger than themself. people with convictions. observant folk. i am on a lifelong quest to learn as much as possible, so any persons with new and different perspectives are fascinating to me. i love to talktalktalk and discuss and debate. if you're a mature and emotionally functioning adult, you'd probably bore me sry2say. delusional manipulative liars need not apply- i dry heave in your general direction.
