i turned 31 this month but my chest turned one year old recently, and this summer i went to the Catskills and the aquarium in Baltimore, which i think is the best place i've ever been. i wish i could live in an aquarium and write poetry from there, and project 90s anime (i'm watching YuYu Hakusho as i write this) on the tanks where it's cool and dark and meditative.

i've been published since the last time i wrote here, and i'm featured in a reading the week after next. my partner and i are about to celebrate our third anniversary, too. so much is happeneing. oh, and i have a sticker book now. so i can put all my stickers in it and look at them. and everything makes me cry lately. sometimes it's just like that.
