About me:

i make collages, i bake cookies, and i use the word "fuck" too much.

i used to collect airline vomit bags. then i collected snowglobes, but my snowglobe shelf is getting full. so now i'm collecting playing cards that i find in the street (it's more common than you'd expect) and vinyl toys from shoparooni.

i have a boyfriend who is a genius. and he knows it. he's probably better than you at something. i am retarded for him.

i dislike socks, but i love chuck taylors and old doc martens. this means i have smelly feet most of the time.

i like going to the happy dog and eating pierogies. i like my whiskey in a big glass with lots of ice, but it better be maker's mark (or jameson, but only if it's with jean brandt).

i am THIS CLOSE to actually being legally blind, but i have sweet glasses and brand new contacts, so it's no big deal. i have a lot of scarves (because i can only knit in rectangles) and a lot of jackets (because i just like jackets), though i dislike the cold. i also have a lot of underpants. yes, i call them underpants. yes, i realize this makes me sound like i'm 5.

i have four parents that i get along great with. they are all white, but for some reason two of them celebrated kwanzaa once. i have seven siblings, but i'm an only child.

here's what i love: the skeleton key necklace that ryan had made for me and the cupcake ring he bought for me, macaroni and cheese, my great aunt edna's ring, munnys and dunnys and other toys, the gray stripe that is slowly growing into my hair, my vintage vision street wear duane peters sneakers, seattle's best coffee, the smell of vinyl, peanut butter sauce on ice cream, blowing in zeke's face so he has to rub it on the floor, jon auer's cover of "swingin' party" by the replacements, the posies in general, our pink polka-dot comforter, richard avedon, shepard fairey, miro, felt tip pens, ball chain, scissors, keys, brownies, and an occasionally smelly narcoleptic with greasy hands and good hair.

here's what i hate: berries, jack daniels, james taylor, straight edge, aging goth guys, chinstraps, shitwigs, cleaning up dog poop, greedy whores who live on undeserved alimony, the sound of children singing, people who lie, and about 1/3 of my tattoos.

here's what i am learning to not hate: the beatles, various vegetables.

here's what i want to learn to do: yoga, yo-yo tricks, and possibly other things that begin with the letter y. (though yodeling is not on that list.)
