I'm new here! Be my friend! 

I love people, parties, DESSERT,  movies, my mom. 

I have a toy poodle who no one believes is a dog because she looks like a squirrel and a cockatoo who no one believes is a bird because he screams like a velociraptor. 

My favorite movies are Goodfellas but also romcoms and Lady Bird and In Bruges. (I love pretty much all the movies, except Shape of Water, which was absolutely not as good as everyone is saying-go ahead, TRY to convince me, I dare you). 

Favorite authors: too many, but James Joyce and Gillian Flynn and Joan Didion are THEBOMB.com and if you ever want to nerd out about Irish authors MESSAGE ME, I can go ALL DAY. 

I also love music and (shocker) am all over the place with that too-I have an actual playlist that goes from Cardi B and Kali Uchis and Drake to Radiohead to Joan Baez and Led Zeppelin to Red Velvet. 

Last thing: I am a HUGE philosophy nerd, but I promise not to talk about it because it can be insufferable, unless you are too, in which case we can also chat literally all day. (Continental, not analytic though-I don't mess with logic.)

Anyways I hope you like what you find here. I've been writing stories since before I knew the alphabet (I did what any tyrannical, over-imaginative toddler would do: enslaved my mom and Uncle to pen all my little tales). Some are good and some are bad, but so it goes, amiright?

All right, lots of love, seriously feel free to message me, I love new friends!!
