About Me

CURRENT MISSION

looking for accuracy in a misquoted world

Music, Movies, and Books

i just listened to april march and am pretty smitten with them. the new pornographers are a go to for me.

there are too many books to really pick. the perks of being a wallflower is what is stuck in my head currently.

my netflix queue seems to be an exercise in queer geek-i-tude.
