I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm a little crazy, a little beautiful, a little jaded, and a whole lot messy. i believe life is about finding happiness, and that happiness means something different to everyone. i'm an acquired taste. i'm bad at small talk but i love good conversation. i have more vices than hobbies. i hate television, aquaintences, and talking about music. i won't put up with friends of convenience; if you don't make time for me, i won't make time for you. i believe in vanity. i embrace a constant evolution of myself and of others; an alchemy of the soul. i am infinite. we all are.

"I just don't know what I'm supposed to be. I tried being a writer, but I hate what I write. I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. Every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, like horses...taking dumb pictures of your feet..." -Lost In Translation

My Interests

"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book, or you take a trip, or you talk with Henry, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom(when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this(or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death." -Anais Nin

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Ahhh!'" -On The Road

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." -Anais Nin

"When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years." -The Beach

damn you, kerouac

reading "on the road" is so dangerous for me right now.  it tempts me, seriously, teetering on the very razor sharp edge of seduction.  the idea of travel is the most seductive, no matter if...

A few coins fall into her hand. "Thanks," she murmers, drowned out by the coffee shop's hissing espresso machine. Her coffee warms her palm through its cardboard cup. Her other hand pockets the coins...
