I love spoken word, but I don't write my own poetry (not really, anyway...) So, whenever there are poetry readings on Elmira's campus I memorize poetry OTHER people have written, and perform it in front of an audience. ...sad, I know. Anyway, here is me with my favorite spoken word artist Alix Olson:
I know I look a little scary, but this was the first time I met her, and I was super excited!
Anyway... other things/ activities I enjoy are:
scarves, owls, folk, fishing, activism, frozen reeses shapes, tomato soup, men's jewelry, paint-by-numbers, all things Wicked! (which is a novel and a musical which I completely adore... guys, this obsession runs pretty deep), acoustic guitar, Ithaca NY, hazelnut coffee from dunkin' donuts, really really fat longhaired cats, camera whoring (ie, taking pictures of myself and posting them all over the internet), dark chocolate, and being around lots and lots of lesbians.
Above all else:
