Happy New Year! May it be filled with whimsy,...
thank you! i hope we all have good years. i think this was a very weird year for many of us. i will be glad to see this year end, but i am full of uncertainties about my future and i am kind of scared to see how this upcoming year will turn out. hopefully, it will be full of excitement, like you said. i believe myself to be whimsical, but it is not something i truly desire right now. i want to...

i feel sad.
everything will be okay, but at what cost?

Vampires or Werewolves?
i loved both of them in middle school, before their revamp (see what i did there? ;o ) which made them both look like they like it in the bati. i’m pretty indiferent to both now, but there was something tragically beautiful about The Damned that i loved.

Who's your favorite musician?
impossible question to answer.
just straight up impossible, due to how many musicians i admire. my default answer is Ronnie Martin/Joy Electric because he is the synth virtuoso that most expanded my musical horizons.

What are you best known for?
i have no idea.
probably my music obsession.
i don’t know.
in High School i was probably best known for that and being really loud and sociable. at UNT i am/was probably best known for my ability to sleep anywhere at any time…that or for spending a semester’s worth of time sleeping and living at Bruce Hall’s lobby.
i don’t know.
what do you think i am best known...

definite album of the year (non-current year)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCqjFxUMU6Q
i ain’t gonna front. my definite album of the year is Best Coast’s Crazy for You [2010]. yeah, it’s the softest, girliest shit a gangsta like me could bump, but Besty Costello speaks from the heart and i fucking feel it. this album might as well be the biography of everything that has gone down in my heart and in my mind for the past entire...

Why are you so anxious to leave Houston?
Home is...
to quote Hawthorne Heights, “my heart is in Ohio” (yes, i went there. lolololol) and my mind is in Denton, so, i have nothing to do here (i mean, i do, but you know what i mean). besides, i really like my Linguistics professors, my academic advisor, and personalised degree plan.

Pick one outstanding moment of 2011 and tell why...
the way it’s worded makes me feel like you’re asking me for a happy memory, and maybe it’s cos i just woke up from three hours of sleep, or maybe it’s cos this year has been such a strange one, but i can only think of one outstanding moment this year, and it was devastatingly meaningful.
the outstanding moment of 2011, was waking up in the middle of the night, in late...

Do you think you'd be back in Houston if you were...
i feel like my work ethic would have been the same (nonexistent) but i don’t know how things would have turned out. i am almost certain my life would have been completely different if i had gone to Loyola, but i don’t know if i would have endured the educational system and/or if i would have reached the all-time low i did earlier this year. who’s to say? maybe i could have been a...

What did Santa bring you for Christmas?

What was the best concert you went to?
this is a very hard question to answer, because i have been to an extraordinary amount of amazing shows. however, the first concert that came to mind was Daedelus’ show at Trees in March of this year. every single act was perfect and Alfred’s set, while it did not contain much of his own material, was true to his sound- absolute epic, ass-shaking goodness. it was also the first night...
i want to give affection. so. much.
i want to hug. i want to kiss. i want to nuzzle. i want to caress.
i want to express my love so much that it almost hurts.
man, i am pmsing so hardcore right now. i hate it....
ugh, i hate it. i can’t stop crying over stupid shit. being a girl really
sucks sometimes. :(

“I know that there is a lion and a wild love so true, so savage that you cannot...”
– Anaïs Escobar(this essay on Mike Mills’ Beginners [2010] is a big reason why i have passionately re-latched on to my “Lioness” persona/identity and why some of my social network profiles include the phrase “holding out for a lion.” i love and relate to Anais so much.)

summer memory.
i was lying in your arms, beyond content, just talking with you. i don’t remember what i said, but you kissed my forehead and softly, with the subtle tone of a happy cat who has gotten the cream, declared,”i adore you.”
i looked up at you, grinning, slightly surprised, and answered,”really?”
you looked down at me, gently nuzzling my face, and said,”yes,...

every time i let my mind wander i feel defeated,
so i’m trying my best to distract myself with lots of HIMYM and reading.
i’m not going back to Denton in January.
it won’t work, for a number of reasons, and it hurts.
i feel like a loser.
i hate not having money.
i hate feeling like my parents don’t support me.
i wish my plans weren’t unraveling so close to lift off.
i hate thinking about it.

Love
is out now
via a few familiar touches...
“gaps of silence punches abstractions of the earlier more adventurous mode” i love it. stylistically it reminds me of Ezra Pound. love has hurt you, it seems, and everyone knows. i can relate to that. maybe i’m overanalyzing it or reading it incorrectly, but that’s my take on it. very nice :)
