I've lived in Chicago for the past nine years with my childhood best friend, who happens to share the same name as me (although with a slight spelling variation).

I like to sit in coffee shops and drink tea and write short stories inspired by the people sitting near me.

A few years ago, I started running to help with stress and anxiety and have grown to love it (on most days). I've recently started doing yoga which has been a fun but rocky road since I am in no way flexible.

Listening to podcasts, thrifting, playing board games, watching PBS mysteries, and cooking/baking rank pretty high up on the list of things I enjoy doing.

Simon & Garfunkel, Lana Del Rey, alt-J, Taking Back Sunday, Dorothy Ashby, Slowdive, and Deer Tick to name a few.

White Oleander, Dept. of Speculation, Rules of Civility, What Alice Forgot, Fangirl, A Prayer for Owen Meanie, Daughter of Fortune, Practical Magic,Code Name Verity, and The Call

Invisibilia, My Favorite Murder, Lore, Add to Cart, Radiolab, Reply All, Newcomers, How Did This Get Made, Who? Weekly, and Attitudes!

I mainly collect postcards. I like these themes in particular: vintage, birds, tea, books, plants, witchy, artistic, old architecture, and black & white photographs.
