I am autonomous, fastidious, and self-indulgent.
My Self-Summary

i like drinking coffee on my fire escape.
the man who sells magazines under my building knows an alarming
amount about my personal life.
i have a hard time making inconsequential decisions.
i like girls who smell like shampoo.
a friend once told me that i was sincere. then added to my
detriment. then said that one idiot trying to do good was worse
than one hundred.. here i plugged my ears and took it as a
compliment.
What I’m doing with my life
nesting. lying in patches on sunlight. making hearts in cappuccino
foam for people who don't deserve it. reading so my brain doesn't
turn to jam. writing. trying to think ahead.

over.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
what i'm thinking about. it doesn't get me very far.
On a typical Friday night I am
explaining to people that not all Rieslings are sweet, rolling
silverware, drinking with friends like i don't have work in the
morning, hiding from the people who are out because it's "friday
night", or taking the batteries out of my overly-sensitive smoke
detector, lighting candles and reading a book in bed.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
i want to go peddle-boating in prospect park without a life jacket.
