ABOUT ME

i'm just your typical jane... a pisces with an artistic streak. i've graduated from college, and am working as a writer in downtown dc. i have two pretty cats named dolphin and noir, and my girlfriend has one named phoebe. we lead a quiet but nice life, watching a lot of movies and smoking a lot of pot. when i travel i'm not such a complete stoner, though. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life so that I don't have regrets. This means trusting more, giving more, and feeling more. It sometimes hurts or comes back to bite me in the ass, but to be honest, it's the only way to live.
