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.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.


my artist website is here.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

so.... i went to go vote for myself in the self-portrait competition and i thought i was supposed to click on each star to give myself a 5 star rating (yeah... tacky, i know) and clicked the first star and then it wouldn't let me click any more so i ended up giving myself a ONE STAR RATING! AHHHH! inadvertently sabotaging myself, as well as all the votes i've gotten this far. what a dork! and so now i have to wait 24 hours to go back and re-vote to cancel out my own idiotic actions. geez.

I voted as well...that is pretty funny that you accidentally gave yourself one star. You deserve fifteen, at least! :)
