about me

I’m in my twenties and a Sagittarius if that matters to you (were I to describe my personality and demeanor in metaphor, a horse-bodied archer would be at the bottom of the list, right under a three-toed sloth made of newspaper who eats only plums). I attended a really good college and ended up with a degree in English. I will be pursuing my MFA in Creative Writing at whatever institution will have me. Currently, I’m tinkering with several writing projects and riding out the in-between year working at a well-known video game retailer who will remain nameless.

I blog because it keeps the gears oiled.

I love things that are interesting: literary theory, movies, video games, comics, philosophy, science, politics, stationery, really good pens, steak, American history, super heroes, action figures, pretty editions of books, Star Wars, finding good music, zombies, typewriters, writing in longhand, moccasins, dreamcatchers, mythology, art, baseball caps, taking walks, photography, the Batmobile, narrative in whatever form it takes, guitar, impersonations, the didgeridoo, writing pedagogy, tools of expression, making that jump from zero to one, metal, counter-hegemonic reversals, notions of taste, raisins, old video games systems, used book stores, people’s stories, living in the country, narrative theory, systems of oppression, friends, sleeping, dreams, my Nintendo DS, traveling, growing up, having more books than space…
