Me, A-Z

Address: West Cortland St., Chicago, IL
Birthdate: October, 18, 1980

Dream vacation: Wandering the cobblestone streets of Florence, Italy. I was there briefly for an Art mini-mester the summer of 99, and lately I'm reminiscing and missing it

Future plans:Travel. Keep company with my kitten dude. Finish school. Write and/or illustrate children's books. Get a couple more tattoos. Adopt a dog. Complete some sort of strenuous, athletic task that I would never think possible. Try more exotic food. Run a business. Have my artwork in a show. Maybe adopt a child. Then maybe give birth to a child. Get some canaries. Read more books. Teach expressive journaling workshops. Travel more. See all of my favorite musicians live. Learn Spanish. You know, enjoy myself and try to make a difference
