Out here, I'm nothing... a cosmic castaway

About Me


"I am a pixie. I'm a paperdoll. I'm a cartoon. I'm a chipper cheerful free for all and I light up a room. I'm the color me happy girl. Miss Live and Let Live. And when they're out for blood, I always give." -Ani Difranco
"If there were no wind we might, we think, hear
The earth grind on its axis, or history
Drip in darkness like a leaking pipe in the cellar."
-Robert Penn Warren
"I dreamt -marvellous error!-
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures."
-Antonio Machado
"it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be-
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands."
-e.e.cummings
