I’m a curious, creative person who loves books, writing, art, crafts, and learning about people and the world around me. I’m especially interested in literature, culture, history, art, psychology, philosophy, and the strange details of everyday life. I spend a lot of time reading, writing, making things, visiting libraries and bookstores, experimenting with paper crafts and collage, and lately becoming very enthusiastic about typewriters, postcards, and snail mail.I love thoughtful conversation, but I also appreciate humor, personal stories, ordinary-life observations, and recommendations.
