About
I'm a twentysomething MFA grad enjoying life in a state of flux, dreaming of Paris and San Francisco while loving the warm summer evenings in North Carolina. I'm a little irreverent, a little mercurial, with an uncanny knack for putting my foot in my mouth.

Heat
Last Monday, the high was ninety-six, ridiculous for this part of North Carolina in June. We moved up here from Florida exactly five Junes ago and I was struck by how mild the month was, how comfortable, compared to Florida’s June heat. Well.
