About Me

I entered this world on the Champs-Elysees, 1959. La trottoir du Champs Elysees. And do you know what my very first words were? "New York Herald Tribune! New York Herald Tribune!"
I take work. but if I love you, you'll know it.
Originaly from Atlanta, I studied Anthropology and Media Arts at the University of Arizona and just graduated this May. I'm starting grad school at the University of Southampton in England in October. I want to be an underwater archaeologist and have National Geographic knocking on my door. I can't decide though if Egyptology or Biblical Archaeology will be my forte. I want to never stop reading and learning. History ..aries are my background noise. I enjoy telling people random facts. I believe in signs. I'm always buying fresh flowers. I'm obsessed with french vanilla capstick. I don't like chocolate. I'm always missing someone. The first thing I do when I get home is wrestle with my five pound dog. Sometimes I'm quiet; sometimes you can't get me to stop talking. I want more. I'm like no one you've ever met, but you'll have to get past thinking I'm a bitch to see that.

"Footsteps in the snow suggest where you have been, point where you are going: but where they suddenly vanish, never dismiss the possibility of flight."

"[Falling in love] is just one of those moments that is opposite of blindness."

"Maybe I'll just keep talking and if I say anything intelligent you can take a picture of it."

"I have such a mind-numbing fear of the future that the only way I can function at all is with equal amounts of denial and drugs."

"Fear kills everything -- your mind, your heart, your imagination.

"A strong and bitter book-sickness floods one's soul. How ignominious to be strapped to this ponderous mass of paper, print and dead man's sentiment. Would it not be better, finer, braver to leave the rubbish where it lies and walk out into the world a free untrammelled illiterate Superman?"

Heroes:

jesus and jane goodall

"I'll play the victim!"
