My name is Krista, I'm a socially awkward, slightly self-absorbed (let's be honest) realist with a penchant for love stories and jokes. I'm 25 but feel like an "old soul" which really just means "Kids these days!"
I like scrabble, making mix CD's, artistic men who wear loads of plaid and have facial hair-- my absolute genre, the pursuit of the perfect day, dancey pop music (this does not mean Top 40's, although sometimes it does), the sound of sirens, peanut butter on apples, my family, humming...constantly, white linen, foreign films, laughing and the way new socks feel.
Oh, this question is like the song that never ends. I could talk about music for decades. In fact, when I find a man who I love we will have to talk about music for decades so...here are a few:
Matt & Kim, The Blow, The Creatures, Ani Difranco, The Mountain Goats, The Cranberries, The Shangri-Las, Loretta Lynn, Ray Charles, Jay-Z, J Dilla, blink-182, The Get Up Kids (nostagically), Bon Iver (obviously), Tegan & Sara, Coconut Records, Alanis Morisette, Fiona Apple, Carla Bruni, State Radio, N.E.R.D, Emmy the Great, Sufjan Stevens, The Tallest Man on Earth, The Carter Family.
If I were in a band we would be called The Pseudonym.

A Very Long Engagement

New journal swaps are up with super far deadlines :) I wish you weren't so far away so we could hang out again!
Thank you for sharing those quotes. Those are beautiful!
Yeah, it will be, but it really means a lot to me in several different ways.
That quote would make a pretty amazing tattoo- I am going to get Sylvia Plath's "there's more than one good way to drown" on my back pretty soon.
I did :) I've just been cramming for an online exam that I just took. I will be replying to you shortly!
