: About Me

I don't walk with a limp, but lately, I'm thinking about trying one out.

I don't smoke, but I do dream about taking long, sexy, french drags off of a cigarette without coughing once.

I am a music junkie.

I have been drowning in the sea of possibilities for a very, very long time.

I have this thing for chamomile tea.

I want to break through the glass ceiling, but all I see is painted drywall and a ceiling sprinkler.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Sigur Ros

My first job ...

The Tumble Weed

My inspiration ...

feeds off of the uncanny.
