She has been a member for 9 months (275 days).i'm a 25-year-old writer in new york city.
i love to travel and i enjoy picking up bits of different languages. my favorite word is the portuguese word "saudade," because it has such a beautifully specific meaning that's essentially untranslatable.
i'd love to hear about your favorite word and why you like it, and/or or an interesting bit of local slang (with the american english translation). or perhaps a bit of your favorite poetry, or song lyrics, or an excerpt from a book you like? (it doesn't have to be anything "deep.")
my minor obsessions include: the subway (and other forms of public transit), letterpress paper, photo booths, typewriters, the color red, banksy and other forms of street art/graffiti, all things vintage.
i have a tattoo of a heart on my thumb, and i (almost unconsciously) collect things with heart motifs of all kinds -- graphic valentine's day-style representations, anatomical drawings and religious kitsch.
getting a postcard always makes my day, but i'm more interested in receiving cards that are quirky or artistic rather than ads or generic tourist cards of buildings or statues.
films i love: annie hall, umbrellas of cherbourg, city of god, grey gardens, the royal tenenbaums
books i love: the nimrod flip-out (etgar keret), the secret history (donna tartt), franny & zooey (j.d. salinger), slouching toward bethlehem (joan didion), white teeth (zadie smith)
music i love: rilo kiley, ben kweller, spoon, rufus wainwright, wilco, voxtrot
