CURRENT MISSION

to fly into the universe behind my eyelids and crashland everywhere at once

ABOUT ME

If the real world fails me after college, I have a back up plan: somehow get to Thailand; find the elephant sanctuary I saw in a National Geographic once; shave my head and wrap a sheet around myself; adopt an elephant; ride her through the rivers; and never set foot on concrete again.

I adore felt-tip pens, my harmonica necklace from Austria, getting in trouble in museums, making toys for the cat, wrestling with my dog, fresh notebooks, convenience store culture, the sound of a classic Hollywood movie playing in the background while sewing, the smell of old books, blank canvas, and hugs.

I paint with my fingers, type until my fingers hurt, and often bite my fingernails.

I could live in a car on the road going anywhere.

I function best with a toothbrush and picnic in my bag and a map in hand.

PHILOSOPHY

go.
stop = stagnancy.
what stagnant thing survives except for mold on forgotten bread?
