About Me

I like arting, camping, traveling, coffee, smoking, dancing, cooking staying up all night, driving to small shitty towns and having lunch, mixed tapes, letters, Europe or just traveling in general, being useful in more ways than one, meeting new people, having crushes, food, drinking whiskey and wine, taking baths, thrift stores, nostalgia, old photographs that are not mine, old answering machine tapes, anything personal and given away that does not belong to me, cats, people and there lives, going to movies, kids and working with them, fashion, accessible art, us magazine or any shitty magazine, music, my friends, talking to someone when it's been to long, reading, disappearing and reappearing, patience, diners, and driving with music really really loud with the windows down. I can't spell and i am emotionally challenged.
