"Oh, my friends, I can't yet tell you how it ends. / But when I can, it will be with certainty, grace, and ease."
- Chris Walla, 'Like a Spark'

ABOUT ME.
I am paradox, a wealth of fantastic, frenetic impulses I'm currently attempting to decipher. I like pretending to be a dinosaur, singing loudly while driving, making obscure references, and getting lost in conversation. My mind runs in about a dozen directions, depending upon the fervor of the day. These are my words.

Ira Glass, master of ceremonies. Sylvia Plath, poetic godhead. Jack Kerouac, gold standard of vagrant beauty. Woody Allen, chief witty banterer.

Feel free to friend me if you're interested in Tolstoy-long discourses and the like. Basically, the long and short of it is, I'm a geek who adores the aesthetic in any form, uses too many five-dollar words to placate her ego, and likes new friends.
