miss josephine
I am a contradiction, and an anachronism. I never say the right thing. I am painfully awkward. I am an amalgam of all the best (and sometimes worst) pieces of my parents. I find myself intensely uninteresting. I talk with my hands, and speak in long drawn out sentences that tend to trail off into the ether. I listen to songs on repeat for hours without tiring of them. I have strange, almost hallucinogenic dreams at night. I inherited my father's sometimes cruel, often sarcastic wit. I am infatuated with philosophy, mythology and symbolism. I look for meaning in the meaningless. I play on swingsets even though I am far too old for them.
