I am was a mountian tamer as a young girl, and now I am trying to tame a city, or let it make me wild.

I love my apartment. Dragging me out is pretty easy, but I love me time. Me time on floral couches. And craft beer. And a movie. And for some reason, a friend to giggle with. Or a cat.

I write, it usually ends up weird and muddled, like watching a movie backwards, but I'm not trying to get paid for what I truly love writing, so that's fine.

I am a warm ball of energy and happiness. My jokes are corny, I laugh a lot, and I listen pretty well. Social graces are important to me. But not in a Gone With the Wind kinda way. More like an 'excuse me' when I scoot past people in the street kind of way.

I am a Freelance Fashion Writer, and I also work at a marketing firm. I host DJ nights at Dive bars where the same people always come. I model some, but I am by no means a model.

I am finishing school at a happy snail's pace.

My dream career is still a little cloudy and confusing to me, but I know it involves teaching the arts. And saving the world. And the peace corp. And forced French accents.

I plan to travel the world a bit more, finish my book, and learn about contemporary art history, which is how the artist of our generation are inadvertently influenced by artists of the distant past. I am continually surprised at how similar people of the different centuries are.

Edit: I just decided I should probably get amazing at dancing.

Cooking, Decorating, and listening. I know I'm really good at reading people. Which is a blessing and a curse. Everyone does what they do for a reason though. Empathy is my best trait I belive, and sometimes my worst.

You know... Whatever is eye length.

a sense of humor
a perceptive eye
soft dresses
my bright red leather shoes (edit: these shoes are no more. I'm pretty sad about it)

My next move (obviously), how my tastes where developed, the language of music, simplicity, what other people think other people are thinking about, candid cameras in unsuspecting places, pets and their owners and how they interact, the cleanliness of my fingernails at the current point in time, what I could be doing better, the different ways people see other people.

I like to pretend the music I'm listening to at any given time is what is making the world move.

Relaxing in my room 50% of the time, the other 50% with my friends drinking or finding adventures in abandoned buildings.

I am pretty gosh darn scared of most large dogs. I usually suck it up and play nice, but inside I'm screaming.

Also, I am the person who sings along with the music on her headphones when she thinks no one is in listening range. Usually harmony. It sounds weird.

If you read all this and realized I should NOT be writing for a living. Please, inform me.

If you want to talk about Doctor Who conspiracy theories.

If you have any input on the correlation between film theory and literary theory. (ie: Gummo and Mrs. Dalloway)

If you like burgers and want to eat one with me. (Edit: I quit burgers cold turkey. It's tough stuff man) (Edit to the edit: back on the burger. So weak)
