i am not hip, i am not with it, but i think we can be friends just the same.
moved to new mexico in january, in need of friends

trying to make something beautiful, occasionally succeeding

making a fool of myself... dancing in public to no music at all, hand holding, cooking, telling the truth, thinking up really good ideas i'll never act on... sewing my friends' clothing, eating food way too fast... giving myself stomach aches... being allergic to things... making silly faces at little kids, using "then" and "than" properly.

slanty eyes

music:
short answer:
recently a lot of hip hop. mostly underground (doomtree is my favorite crew) but i mean... "biggie smalls is the illest" and ALWAYS "wu-tang forever"... but my roots are dug deep and and through punk and ska music. really i listen to just about everything... have a look at my...

food:
food's a funny story. i'm a vegan. and i'm allergic to soy and most fruits... but eating is one thing in this world that i truly love doing.

i LOVE spicy food. cheeseless pizza covered in veggies (especially onions, spinach,and jalapenos), bread with hummus, and pesto all fill me with happiness... YUM!

oh yeah... sour patch kids, tofu, avocados, and tobasco sauce, all make my day!

one more thing... NUTRITIONAL YEAST

1- smiles from strangers
2- high-fives
3- tea... been drinking a lot more of that recently... earl gray
4- adhesives... i like to stick things to other things... tape, glue, anything will do... (rhymed by accident!)
5- trees to climb
6- sunshine...

how many syllables the statement you just made had in it... maybe it'll fit into a haiku.

i'm cooking dinner... using way too much garlic... trying to fall asleep... having a late night picnic?... walking aimlessly... trying to read a book... maybe succeeding at that... working on an art project or two... doubtful that i'm succeeding at those.

you over use commas, love the sound of rain on tin roofs, will dance with me on the double yellow at 4 in the morning, love flowers, are a feminist, will let me hold doors for you.
