A Realist with Big Dreams

*spins around in swivel chair* I've been waiting for you.

Talk nerdy to me.


Interests

*takes a deep breath* Well. Writing, golf, piano, art, tennis, video-making, track, interior design, reading, nerdy stuff, flute, photography, hiking, architecture, soccer, classical music (Don't laugh at me; I'm well cultured. xP), musicals, ballets, fashion, and of course... UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING. Oh, yes.


The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
