tell me something you love.

i love books without words, and a good calf-length skirt. i love the smell of coco madamoiselle and mother of pearl (have i ever told you that i like mother of pearl?) anything. i love shakira and the feeling i get at the end of vanilla sky (how come no one liked that movie?). i love hot showers and warm soft blankets and naps and the newspaper. i love that tv special where the magician shows me how he did it and i love a good joke. i love to dance and i love to make my bed. i love curled eyelashes, hyperbole, and writing down recipes. i love wearing an apron when i cook and i love unbleached flour. i love sunsets and windy summer days and when the words gold and green are said together. i love the perfect driving music and i love the way a beautiful day makes my heart fill up and i love when i have a secret and no one knows. no one. i even love when it feels like i have a wonderful secret but i don't.

I have what experts with lots of plaques on their walls would call "a shit load of homework" due tomorrow, and what Starbucks calls a "double shot" in my system, but I am missing the motivation to due that homework. However, I did manage to totally get owned by this webtest that was totally acurate in guessing I was the third born, and I also looked up a bunch of info on miss tomato. so now that I'm blowing all of my caffeine on Livejournal, I'm pretty sure I won't pass any of the classes I'm in. Goodnight!

You Are Likely a Third Born

At your darkest moments, you feel vulnerable.
At work and school, you do best when you're comparing things.
When you love someone, you tend to like to please them.

In friendship, you are loyal to one person.
Your ideal careers are: sales, police officer, newspaper reporter, inventor, poet, and animal trainer.
You will leave your mark on the world with inventions, poetry, and inspiration.

Hopefully, it rains coffee


These days, I live in the medical district of Chicago, 10 seconds outside of Pilsen and 6 minutes from downtown. I wake up when the computer voice across the street announces how long it's been since the last bus, and I fall asleep watching a cloud of smoke from a hospital billow up towards heaven. It never gets dark enough and I always feel tired. I miss the gold and green of the suburbs but not much else. This place has plenty of gold, anyway.

If you add me, please leave a comment to let me know.
