What I'm trying to say is, your vagina is worth 85 miles an hour.

About Me


No me den candela.
No me tiren sal.
No me prendan vela.
No me miren mal.

And that's all you need to know.

My Interests

I Love:
Loud guitars, the ghost of riot grrl (can't you FEEL it?), Frank and Jackie (my soul mates), tight jeans, thick-rimmed glasses, tiny little pigtails, art that makes me feel something, writing that makes me feel inferior, Dharma (my cat), taking dirty polaroid pictures, watching my brother paint, conversations about nothing, band pracrtice, starting the fucking revolution!!!!! Wishing I was a hippie, deadly heels, gross thrift store shoes that never fit properly, eyeshadow, and cute people who like good music.

No, I don't want to go to a club.

I'd like to meet:

Me in the middle of it all.

Don't Listen to Elliott Smith
