•What is your blog about? And why did you start it?

My blog is about things that make me smile. I started it because there are always little snatches of movies, or bits of songs, or art that float around on repeat in my head and this is the best way to share them with people.

•Describe you. Who you are. What you look like. What you do.
On some days I want to be Martha Stewart. On other days I want to be Beth Lisick. On most days I am just an old man.

•Best Friend(s)?
Reagan(n) and Alexandria and Molly Porter the P.I. (no, she really is)

•You can play your ipod on "loud." What song do you choose?
sad day? "These Days" - Nico
happy day? "Over the Hills and Far Away" - Led Zeppelin

•Give me an outline of your morning. From waking up to 12 o'clock. wake up after being roasted by the sun (we don't use blinds)
get dressed facing my amazing view of san francisco.
if i'm lucky i can just see the bay.
class

big, smelly, sometimes moldy, always dusty, tangible, loveable books you can write your heart into the margins and sleep with. and that no matter where you are listening to the beach boys, they will warm you up.

old love: "To a Child Dancing in the Wind" - Yeats
new flame: "Having a Coke With You" - Frank O'Hara

Liv.

Dear Fleur.

One day, my older seester went to a Bible Camp. SHILOH. And she met a ton of amazing people. And somehow she brought them home with her. Their addresses at least. And somehow I wanted one of them. But I wasn't too sure how to get one. Till Livy fell into my lap.
If I had to describe her in one word, it would be
lively.Livy is one of the most alive people I've never met.
She writes me.
About ladybugs.
Yes, that is how positively adorable she is.

One dear friend summed her up best. She is like "an antelope in a junkyard."
(The best compliments are the quirky ones.)
One of my favourite things about Kirsten, her prudence. And her heart. Those two together make for a lovely young woman. I once though of writing a story about a girl with a prudent heart. One just like her. Maybe I will...
But.You should really read her blog.
WithoutEnvy.

(I think this is my favourite picture of her.)

Did I mention she can make a beautiful loaf of bread? And her cakes actually come out of the pans?
Call me jealous.
