Don't you worry: I'm pretty, fun to be around and smart. I sing and play some wicked tambourine in an all-girl rock band. I'm spontaneous but calm, creative but level headed.

Giving it water and sunlight.

all things visual and written.

I'm smart, direct, clear, no-nonsense, and quick-witted. Cute, too. And have really nice handwriting.

The Corrections, Lolita, Wake Up Sir!, anything David Sedaris or Augustin Boroughs; Fargo, Five Easy Pieces, Blood Simple, The Ice Storm; Girls, Mad Men, Breaking Bad; LCD Soundsystem, Dinosaur Jr, Radiohead, Beck, Big Star, Pavement, Silversun Pickups, Television, Ting Tings, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, The Replacements, Galaxie 500; sushi and lavender caramels.

My tambourine, shoelaces, black bikini, toothpaste, honesty and cynicism.

Anything and everything, typically as I'm trying to get to sleep.

Taking stock.

I wet my pants after fleeing a wine-soaked, very awful match.com date. Truly.

you know how to use a chainsaw.
