I am velveteen, a tumbleweed, and drinking tea.
My Self-Summary
"It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your
record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films
wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party."
I concur. Which is why my movies,music,books&food section might
be of a bit more importance.
Aside from those interests I: am tall, enjoy (and kick a heap of
ass in) a game of
Loopin' Louie, collect fortune
cookie insterts &
postcards, make my bed in a rather
unconventional manner, require lots of time to my thoughts, carry a
journal, book and
camera at all
times, currently work as an au pair, am attracted (in a monsterous
way) to intelligence, spend a considerable amount of time in a cafe
called "muffins".
What I’m doing with my life
"I've been thinking about my life, and I am loving it, and if I
take care of it, will it love me? Will it love me back?"
-TheTeeth
Most of the time, I'm documenting it.

I’m really good at
Buying birthday/Christmas gifts.
Reading menus.
Powerpoint.
Musical Chairs.
Sounding vaguely British.
Choosing.
Falling asleep.
Writing nice letters.
expressing myself via a wide array of interesting sounds and
nonsense words, including (but not limited to) "puh!" and
"mahmahmah."
The first things people usually notice about me
Either the bubble I am blowing, or the tangerine I'm peeling.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Music: Some old stuff, some new stuff. Rock, folk &
electronica. Mostly on the alternative side of things. Bob Dylan,
The Smiths, Gang Gang Dance, Sparrow House, The Whitest Boy Alive,
Bowerbirds, Leonard Cohen, Beck, The Dodos. Those all come
Films:
Rushmore,
The Diving Bell
and The Butterfly &
Amelie were all highly
enjoyable/impressive.
I can't explain why, but I also love the movie "You've Got Mail".
You don't need to comment on that.
Text: Bukowski's "Women" and Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse IV" are the
first two favorites that come to mind.
I'm really into Bertrand Russell's essays, as well.
I would really like to find a copy of "Sexing the Cherry". It
sounds like a trashy teenage romance novel. But the pages I read
were about a city where people in hot air balloons scraped words
off the sky. I'd like to do that sometime.
Food: I can eat anything. I particularly enjoy/seek out nectarines,
hot vanilla chai, cucumber sandwiches with jelly, ham and cheese,
chicken with fruity sauces, brie, dried cranberries &
CURRYWURST.
The six things I could never do without
Obviously I'd find a way, but these are things which I like quite a
lot: Juicy nectarines, my journal, lefty-friendly ballpoint pens,
strawberry flavored chapstick, trees, a camera.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The way this year fits into my life.
On a typical Friday night I am
Ragin' it up, or eating spaghetti.
..possibly dancing to Daft Punk.
Fridays are fickle things.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I accidentally burnt down a cabin (in eighth grade) and never told
anyone.
You should message me if
-You can recommend a band that will send me on a warm, blissful
head-trip scored by jangly pianos, swirling guitars and ambient
sound effects.
-You want to exchange postcards.
-You think with your head, and not with your culture.
-You wear cardigans.
-You want to practice my French.
-You live in Paris and want to drink wine until we're drunk
sometime.
