I dance, drum, plant, heal, cook, brew, stew, dance naked, say silly things, and make up words like “illogicovation” which means a ridiculous invention, such as that word. I plan elaborately, procrastinate, and only sometimes do I follow through. I do yoga, make candles, collages, doodle with sharpies, embroider my dungarees, and make alcoholic beverages of varying sorts. I am a cheerleader for those folks I like, and I mean what I say when I say nice things.

I have frizzy hair and my eyes change color. I am short, and I have a nice ass. These things are true! I collect dead flowers and fallen feathers, and have a mate who brings me dead dragonflies and bumblebees to coo over and glue to things. I break glass, then glue it to things, and grout it so that every bit of chaos remains IN PLACE. I am a Virgo, did I mention that?

I like cheese, and the smell of Fabuloso after I clean my countertops of ants. I am very good with African violets, or they are very good with me. I have, in a small box, a picture of a fairy that I took with my very own camera. I name inanimate objects and ascribe personalities to them so that I can talk to them without feeling silly.

I memorize folk songs so I can sing them at Bardic circles, which I never attend. I like feeding people honey and fruit. I like to spit rum into fires, but only when appropriate. I can’t tell you, you just know. I love skulls and bones and bits of animals that they don’t need anymore. I love spoons hanging from trees, and things made out of silver. Blue bottles belong in windowsills to catch the morning light and make you look like Gonzo while you do the dishes and sing to your cat.
