ABOUT ME

A fluctuater - I can be quiet, thoughtful and reflective or a party-hard disco dancer depending on my mood and surroundings, but I'm pretty much always laid-back and relaxed.

PHILOSOPHY

Ci vuole del talento per riuscire ad invecchiare senza diventare adulti.

To love, be it ecstatic or tormented, intensely.

Interessi

Literature, Italian language and culture, music, dancing, quiet reflection on coasts and hilltops, pushing myself to the extreme - literally and figuratively, intelligent conversations that aren't pretentious, meeting new people who can tell me new things, guessing people's nationality on the street, smoking (it's not cool - but I like it), vegetarian cuisine, linguistics, Jacques Lacan, making scrapbooks, dogs, the carnivalesque and carnivals, sunrise sunset (where are you, Arienette?), grammar, linguistics, Saussure, giggling, cuddling, kissing, being overtly affectionate and hoping that the affection is understood and reciprocated, knowing people well, walking in the rain, Oscar Wilde, aesthetics, thought-streaming, making lists, doing the things on my list, those moments of equilibrium where you feel exquisitely content.
