learned a new word today: technophile. as far as i can tell it's a "cool" way to refer to oneself as a computer geek but i could be wrong. i'm open to being wrong. i'm also willing to admit to being quite the nerd in my own right. i mean, i write book reports for myself for no other reason than i want to. it's strangely fun. nerdy? i also read the essays of susan sontag for fun. nerdy? just a little? i also routinely read the dictionary. again, for fun. i think that last one is the tid-bit of self-effacing information that will most likely shatter any semblance of "cool" i may have possessed. :) or having used the word tid-bit. i also just discovered how great the Sisters of Mercy are (20 years to late) and even want to buy a band t-shirt. extra nerdy but i can't help it. what makes a person happy is just what makes them happy and sometimes there's no place to hide from how un-cool you really are. whatever. i'm having a great time in life reading the dictionary and listening to 80's goth. what more could a girl ask for?
p.s. new work over at HANG. check it out fellow art nerds!
these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.
