I wake to sleep and take my waking slow/I learn by going where I have to go. - Theodore Roethke

About Me



I like being the inside spoon. And the extent of my social ineptitude is gargantuan, to say the least, but I'm nice, some say I'm funny, still more say I'm "passionate." mmk. Mainly, I'm kind of a dorky girl.

I like words, like "languid", and "flagrant", mainly because of the visuals i get when i think of the words. I spend a lot of time alone, with books (see above for reason). I also like looking for and constructing images in clouds, ceilings, walls, woodgrain etc.
I just got a last.fm account : CacophonySweet . add me. I like sharing music.
I am in the process of writing a chapbook all about my neighborhood and in editing a zine. Wanna help?
