About Me

About Me

My favorite things are bright colors, loud music, cats, non-human primates, and the shape of words on the tongue; I’m sort of like a toddler aged up. I had the best summer of my life, and am now doing exciting things like learning to drive and living on whiskey and hot cider and dreams.
