there's a lot to get done when you're me.

sometimes, being me, i'm obligated to do things. they include,

- breathing
- eating
- sleeping
- work (maybe. school and otherwise.)
- sing for people (if i do, i like you probably more than i should.)
- let people cry to me (though sometimes, they tell me, they feel stupid since i never cry to them like they do for me. i cry in corners, i tell them, don't worry about it. being a receptacle for all that shit you need to vomit up about your life is totally what i'm here for. i do my best to take it and turn it into something beautiful. i wish my own problems were as easily removed.)
- wear cute things (because i'm "cute", according to others, and i have a reputation to keep up. i mean, i guess.)
- love people (some of them.)
- hate people (some of them.)
- be "that kid" (i realize that i become "that kid" when i look like a hipster in places that aren't new york city. i'm also supposed to represent new york city wherever i go, i suppose. [which is difficult, since anyone could be new york city.])
- keep my hair long (or else grandma will kill me if i cut it.)
- read books (well. well. maybe. this should happen more often than it does.)
- know everything (i try.)
- be photogenic (see the 7th item. these two go together often.)
- cram out strange and, ultimately, obligatory blog posts before midnight (this has been one of them.)
