i'm in the middle of dealing with a real-life family crisis at the moment so i am delayed on things but not dropping out entirely, i promise.

i'm a girl, 27, a fugitive from the law of averages. i love words and music and languages and art and things that are perhaps unconventional. i have a bad habit of waiting for the deus ex machina.

i love walks in the chilly rain through cemeteries and gorgeous starlit nights, crumbling old buildings and fluffy warm kittens. i have a severe soft spot in my heart for outdated technology like photobooths, cassette tapes, and typewriters. i collect quotes and 1-inch buttons and black&white photographs. mixtapes and zines make me swoon.
