sometimes i think i don't tell enough about me on here. not that i care. here's some things that don't matter.

:: i hate cleaning. something about it makes me sad. like i'm erasing history.

:: i clench my teeth so hard at night, the next day it takes me hours to be able to open my mouth fully.

:: i love the smell of a forest fire.

:: sometimes in the middle of the night i'll get out of bed and go for a walk, just to see what the town is like quiet.

:: i stick my tongue out when i'm thinking really hard and writing at the same time. i think i get it from my dad.

:: frogs scare me a little because they weren't always frogs.

:: when i'm nervous my heart shakes. 

:: i have a widow's peak.

:: if i'm specifically told not to do something. more times than not. i do it. 

:: sometimes i get paralyzed and just can't move. i think it's my body telling me to stop.
