Sight: the skyline from the baseball field on 9th & Catherine, Broad street when the freaks are out, bright colors, applepie hill & the pinebarrens, any bit of untouched land, cameron diaz and all beautiful women, colorful people, the ben franklin bridge from the first cart on the speedline, other people dancing, couples fighting in public, girls that are dying for it, the morning fog around center city, home, my best friends faces after i tell them stories, jersey boardwalks, black ladies with fancy hats going to church on sundays, rocky when i have a frisbee, wes anderson films, gavins face when he realizes i'm spending the night AGAIN
Sound: rancid, sweeping montrose street, yuka honda, kid dynomite, chapin sisters, pens clicking, wall-e (comming spring 08), neil young, laughing, no doubt, steely dan, the ukalele, ravi shankar, the woman on the end of my street with the raspy voice, lily allen, spoon, the mandolin, black sabbath, the kinks, bijou phillips, the beatles, madonna, bath tubs running, david bowie, eating a grapefruit with spoon, leaves crunching in the fall, nine inch nails, the strokes, other peoples conversations, styrophome, the ocean,
Smell: i'll usually go out of my way to walk by the laundry mat just to smell the fabric softener, freshly cut grass, all fruit, winsteria and peonies, ganja, onions, gasoline, isgros between 7am-10am, skunks,
Touch: rockys fur, snow, rain, sticky hands/soft hands, not my phone, him, organic materials (soil, insects, tree bark), scruffy faces, wet dog noses, myself...
Sometimes I stay in my house because I'm too cold to go out. Sometimes I go out because I'm too weak to stay in. Alcohol, intrigue, and mindless adventure are my guilty pleasures and are what primarily consume my time here in Philadelphia. My mind never stops wandering and growing. I learn more and more everyday.
I am a young woman from a small town, living in this big (small) city. Floating through urban seas.
