Hello. I won’t torture you with any high-and-mighty third-person shit. I mean, this is really Janet writing. So welcome. Words can’t describe how happy I am to have you here.

I am an English literature student, a modern dancer, a part-time coffee barista, and a volatile consciousness absorbing the notes trippin’ over themselves to make their voices heard.

I usually compose sober.

The posts here are a beautiful mess of the autobiographical, the intellectual, the romantic and the occasional review.

I, yes, once lived in New York City. Yes, I plan to move back after I graduate. Tell everyone at Second Hand Rose’s in Greenwich Village “hi” for me, and that I will return to them outlined in ink, an unsmoked cigarette dangling from too-red lips and an insatiable lust for vinyl. Yes.
