Five random facts:

tagged by sarah

allergic2potatoes got me a galileo thermometer as a christmas gift when we were like twelve/like a decade ago, and it still sits on top of one of the short bookcases in my room and i’m so used to it being there that i forget there was a time where it wasn’t

every cat and dog my family has ever owned has been a rescue or a stray. our current cat we pulled out of the car engine of a chevy truck from where he’d climbed up under the tire well because he was like a month old and had almost gotten run over. our current dog just wandered into our neighborhood one day and after he outran the pound my dad found him endearing and brought him home.

i completely and unironically adore ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly pillows, etc.

i am an avid journal keeper and when i was researching rimbaud i came across his A Season in Hell/Une Saison en Enfer prose poem and so the journal that includes my last semester of nursing school is labeled une saison en enfer 

even though my favorite pieces of classical music are written by basically exclusively russian/soviet composers, i sit around crying about beethoven's life at least once a week esp this
