Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite tv show of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I am always reading something! I mostly read fiction and philosophical books. My favorite fiction writer is Haruki Murakami and my favorite nonfiction author is Erich Fromm.

I like to cook and will keep my space clean. I am also in the process of learning how to read tarot cards and can do a reading if you’re interested (or leave my cards at home if you’re superstitious).
