I’m an age twenty-something writer, teacher, artist, weekend musician, Independent, Christian, American. I am obsessed with the color purple.

The Rev is immortal. I am forever an Echelonean, a fierce soldier of the MCRmy, and Paramore is (still) a band. I have been a proud Gryffindor since 1997, and I will be forever.

I won’t discuss my politics on here, but I strongly believe in the overwhelming power of the vote, and I know where I stand. I won’t ever preach on here, I strongly believe in letting my actions speak for themselves.

You will see my writing, hear my music, see my artwork and most of all those things that inspire me, be they things that make me laugh, cry, or somewhere in between. This is my ink well, and the iris is the flower of inspiration, therefore a collection of all my inspirations.

If you need someone to vent to, to listen, to give advice, or just to talk to, I am always here.

You will never see a picture of me, my real name, my location, or my exact age. Sorry, guys.

Anything else you want to know? Want to talk? Ask away, my friend.

I also run two other blogs: A Rat Pack appreciation blog named The Boys in the Band, and a food blog named Cucina Rosa.
