About me

Some things I like, off the top of my head and in no particular order: late nights at a diner, the older and homelier the better; dancing and/ or bouncing around in silly fashion when a DJ puts on a song I *really* like; pretending for a moment that I can actually sing (I actually can't) whilst driving with the stereo up loud enough to mask my voice; cooking a complex and (hopefully) fabulous meal for people I care about; lying on a warm beach basking in the sun and doing absolutely nothing; sitting on that very same beach, or any beach really, at night staring wistfully into a bonfire and wondering what might have been.
