About me

What six words would I tell my teen self if I could go back in time?
Choose any path, provided it's DIFFERENT.

If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
having my cake and eating it too

In bed I like to read:
everything!!

My favorite story of all time is:
any travel story, ever.

Right now, I'm reading:
Just finished Marching Powder. Soon finishing Paul Bowles' Travels. Slowly getting through The Omnivore's Dilemma. And always, always reading John Berryman's Dream Songs.

The song that encapsulates the soundtrack of my life is?
Nunca use un antifaz
Voy de paso
Por este mundo fugaz

No pretendo parar
Dime quien camina
Cuando se puede volar?

Mi destino es andar
Mis recuerdos
Son una estela en el mar

Lo que tengo, lo doy
Digo lo que pienso
Tomame como soy

Y va liviano
Mi corazon gitano
Que solo entiende de latir
A contramano
No intentes amarrarme
Ni dominarme
Yo soy quien elige
Como equivocarme

Aprovechame
Que si llegue ayer
Me puedo ir manana
Que soy gitana

If I could have one person read my writing on SMITH it would be?
Frida Kahlo... or maybe my grandmother.
