About My Library

Full of good vocabulary and tragic sentiments.

About Me

Fiction, music, and film fiend who has maddeningly little time for any of the above. Always attempting to drag others into madcap scheming, if I haven't fallen asleep. I wish too hard for a better world. The only ghost I'd like to meet is Jacques Derrida, as long as he refrained from criticizing my French.
