   Adrienne's Blurbs
About me:

I'm fraudulent, a thief at best, a coward who paints a bullshit canvas of things that never will happen to me.-Jenny Lewis...

  • I go through bursts of extreme ambition followed by extreme self doubt and feelings of inferiority.
  • I seem to always be in transit, always on a train, always on a bus, always walking down the street, never at my destination yet always on my way.
  • It's so nice to live in a city where I have no roots, where no one can claim to have known me way back when.
  • I make up songs at the bus stop and while walking home, and always have a new one in my head.
  • I love Brooklyn, every time I turn around I find a new neighborhood I have not yet discovered. <
  • I spend most of my life in bars and coffee shops.
  • I love music. I hate rock stars.
  • I'm equal parts genius and total idiot.
  • I'm addicted to the written word.
  • I am a culture junkie, I see theater at least three times a month and am always hunting down the latest indie drama.
  • I still haven't found myself, does anyone ever really?
  • I'll find any excuse to dance.
  • I'm terribly indescisive.
  • I'm immune to crushes, and haven't had one since I was a teen.
  • I'm anti-social one second, the life of the party the next.
  • I think I was a man in a past life.
  • I love being "over educated."
  • I have a guilty, secret addiction to pop culture.
  • I read all the time, and people think of me as a bookworm, though secretly almost all of what I read was written after 1970. There are so many classics I should have read and never bothered to. In all honesty, I'd rather curl up with Mary Gaitskill than William Blake or Chaucer.
  • I feel so old that my life is over and yet so young that it hasn't quite begun.
  • My life in the city always seems to be one calamity after another, but amazingly I always land on my feet, and always have enough money for another latte.
  • Sometimes I am the happiest being entirely alone.
  • I think New York is the perfect city to be entirely alone in, for you can be alone surrounded by people.
  • I wonder if I will ever be any of the things I dream of being, or will my life always be in between one thing and another.
  • Since moving to New York, I've completely ceased watching television. I guess it's the only city where you can go without it.
  • If you're someone from the past that's looked me up, be sure and say hello!  
  • Who I'd like to meet:
    Those who are capable of holding up their end of a conversation.

    "I can't tell you exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when it happens. I want to be breathless and weak, crumpled by the entrance of another person inside my soul. I want to be violated by insight." -Aimee Bender, "Call My Name"
