a) I'm too lazy and

b) I don't remember how to make webpages anymore, it's been five years since I last worked on this page and I've been too busy.

For anyone out there who cares,

I'm 21 now. I've lived in Los Angeles for the past four years and I'm graduating from USC in May with a double major in neuroscience and fine arts. Had a few gallery openings around the L.A. area before burning out in art school and abandoning the paintbrush for the petri dish. I now do research for the neuropharmacology department at USC.

In the past five years:

I've worked at a sno cone stand in an abandoned K-Mart parking lot in Texas.

I've been a taxi driver for 3 years in L.A.

I spent six months roadtripping the country on money I got from getting hit by a car.

I've been a wino in Union Square and squatted in a warehouse in brooklyn.

I've been a ninja and vampire, in that order, in various b films.

I've worked with fashion freaks As Four.

I've hopped a train.

I once helped build a cabin in the forest.

I've done lots of drugs. I've stopped doing lots of drugs.

I've hitchhiked in the Mojave Desert.

I've fallen in love with a nuclear physicist that I met at a hookah bar in westwood 3 years ago.

I dated a sailor for a while.

I spent the last summer as field worker on an organic farm.

I made horrible mistakes, I learned from them, I've had adventures, and I've been bored. I love it all. It's just a life, a beautiful one like yours.

I don't know any of the peope on this site anymore. I don't listen to much of the music on this site anymore. I don't really have much in common with the girl who made this site, actually, though I do vaguely remember her being me. I have a strong inclination to believe that no one is reading this but myself, which is perfectly understandable and acceptable.

However, on the off chance that you are John Mayfield or Oliver Leach, forgive me, I was young, please know that I appreciate the memory of your friendship. I guess that's who this update is for, because I suppose the only thing I really reflect upon wistfully, is not having being a better friend to you two. I've learned my lesson. I hope life has treated you two well. If you ever want to contact me, you know how to find me. the e-mail address that goes with this website still works ([email protected]). I check it every few months or so.

That's really all I have to say, "everyone". Maybe I'll update in another five years.

cheers,

Josephine
