Unbelievably​ tumultuous, but in the most fun way possible.

Snail mail only. I love to write letters, but only to the most fantastic people alive. Meaning, you better be into living life writing about it. Don't you dare write me a letter about what movies you've seen lately. Don't you dare write pages about the weather. I want stories! Fast times! Things you're almost ashamed of, but you aren't because it's you and you're beautiful and life is life and you only get this one, so you wake up every day ready to make your own story. Do something illegal, set something on fire, get a tattoo. On your neck. Or hell, don't. It doesn't matter. As long as it's you and you find it interesting.​

Live it. Be it.

I am also profoundly into trading art or do collab pieces, but keep in mind that I will only consider this if you seem to be freaky and interesting and um...artisti​c?

I like ghosts and wolves and yetis and bones and foxes. Create something.

ps. If you don't speak English, don't bother. I spend like, 8 hours a day teaching 14 year olds English and have no desire to correct strangers in my free time. Sorry.

Star Wars. Everything Wes Anderson. Foreign films, B-rate horror flicks, and movies from my youth that rate high on the cheese factor. There is a very fine line between the best and worst movies ever created.

Veronica Mars, iCarly, Flapjack, Gilmore Girls, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations​, Battlestar Galactica, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia​, Flight of the Conchords, Arrested Development,​ 30 Rock, Dexter, Weeds, The Dog Whisperer, Cash Cab.

However, I only watch television on DVD or over the internet. Commercials bore me and I have a tendency to channel surf for hours.

Everything by Kurt Vonnegut, Sylvia Plath, Dave Eggers, David Sedaris, J.D. Salinger,and​ Chuck Klosterman. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, The Virgin Suicides, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Light In August, Middlesex, To Kill A Mockingbird,​ everything Edward Gorey, The Tender Bar, I Know This Much Is True, The Chronicles of Narnia, High Fidelity, Brave New World, The Rum Diary (or, hell, ANY Hunter S. Thompson) , Satan: His Psychothearp​y and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, Into The Wild, The Body, A Wrinkle In Time, The Great Gatsby, The Giver, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Alas Babylon, Watership Down, The Heart of Darkness, Ishmael, Ideas: A History, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Harry Potter!!

I have stacks of books taller than me, and I love it.

In Omnia Paratus

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!

How do you know what you are going to do until you do it? The answer is, you don't.

Phooey, I say on all the white-shoe college boys who edit their campus literary magazines. Give me an honest con man any day.

The waitress brought me another drink. She wanted to light my hurricane lamp again. I wouldn't let her. "Can you see anything in the dark, with your sunglasses on?" she asked me.
"The big show is inside my head," I said
-Kurt Vonnegut

Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, "You're​ crooked. You've always been crooked and you'll continue to be crooked. But look at me! Look at me!" said the straight tree. He said, "I'm tall and I'm straight."​ And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, "Cut all the straight trees."​ And that crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.
