for no reason at all, i let the sky fall

24 notes

This is my about me post. (Updated as of February 2013) I figured it was just about time for one. A handful of followers have popped up lately, and I thought I’d properly introduce myself to everyone. Here goes… I’m 23, and time is going faster and faster in the most alarming of ways. I have a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Photography. I’m a sibling of the Alpha Delta Phi Society, Middletown ‘12.5. My cult family is amazing. I live in Brooklyn with my boo and three ADP siblings. I work as an admin managing a building in Midtown. My job is pretty awesome. All of my furniture is from Ikea. I’ve never broken a bone. I can neither ride a bike nor swim. I’m currently in a relationship with a pretty cool dude named Jon. We talk to each other in internet memes, and he goes to Ikea with me when I ask him to, and I thoroughly enjoy his cuddles. We’ve been dating for over two years, and cooks for me most nights. I’m a lucky gal. I showed him The Wire, so obviously, he’s a lucky guy. I like nearly every genre of music. I know I like things that aren’t really good music, but I’m okay with that. I will acknowledge what is good and not good, so whatever. I’m obsessed with John Darnielle. Mountain Goats fandom is serious business. At a show, I wore a t-shirt that said “Let Jon Wurster Sing,” and Peter Hughes took my picture with Jon Wurster. My life instantly made sense. I’ve been to 15 shows, and I’ve met the man himself once. I watch a lot of movies, and I collect DVDs compulsively. 2013 has been a TV heavy year so far, though. I think James Earl Jones looks weird with a moustache. I spell moustache with a u, and the place where you see a play is spelled t-h-e-a-t-r-e in my opinion, but I don’t spell anything else the British way. I’m a compulsive over-sharer. I’m originally from St. Louis, Missouri, so I have this weird, competing Midwest-Southern dynamic that is only complicated further by the fact that my mom lives in Atlanta. My family is spread out all over the country - New York, Georgia, Missouri, California. My family is also really, really small. It’s me, my parents, and two older brothers, one of whom has contributed a sister-in-law and two nephews, but that’s pretty much it in terms of close relatives. I only met one of my grandparents. Favorite foods include Haribo Peaches, burritos, raspberries, piles of meat, toasted ravioli, gouda, and vegan cake. Food is pretty much the best thing ever. I’ve been to six European countries: France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and the Czech Republic. I want to get my MA in Human Sexuality and be a sex educator or sex and relationship therapist or counselor for people who are in the process of transitioning. We need WAY more sex positivity in this world. I will happily offer up movie recommendations if you’d like. I’m pretty indecisive. I don’t think my high school had as much of an effect on me as my high school job did. I can be really judgmental, but I am usually pretty quiet about it. If you look outrageous, I will put you on my friends’ teams with no hesitation. The Wire is the best TV ever. I’m currently watching Six Feet Under, and up next is Boardwalk Empire and Deadwood. I get super emotional when I think about Jim Henson’s death. When I walk on slippery sidewalks in the rain while wearing tractionless flip flops, I feel like a waddling duckling. My nipples were in in Vice Magazine. I laughed at people when they were freaking out about Tyrion dying after the Blackwater episode of Game of Thrones. READ THE BOOKS. I know it’s fucked up, but I still get super confused when someone doesn’t have a facebook. Same goes for not having your relationship status up. Sometimes, I really need to know if that couple from high school is actually still together or if they’re just strangely conspicuous in one another’s photos. One gimmick I’d like to bring back is the guy with the super deep voice saying silly things in the middle of songs from the 50s. I like pears, and I like yogurt, but I’m not convinced there should be a combination of the two. I can’t hear the term “flip flops” and not think of “I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops.” No one will ever convince me that pregnancy isn’t the grossest looking thing ever. For some reason, drinking out of the milk jug feels way less acceptable when it’s a gallon jug as opposed to a half gallon jug. I kinda miss the commercials with the chihuahua talking to Maria Sharipova. Great apes are REALLY FUCKING CREEPY. Once Upon a Mattress could be turned into a porno, and they wouldn’t even have to alter the name. Botanical Gardens are plant zoos. Some of these bullet points were shamelessly copied from my twitter. I guess that’s about it for now. I love questions though, if there’s anything else you’re interested in knowing…
