  • I have brightly colored wayfarer sunglasses
  • You might not recognise half the stuff on my iPod
  • I write in serif-ed fonts
  • I wear my slip-on Vans and Converses until they are literally held together with duct tape
  • I blog
  • I have band shirts from bands you've probably never heard of
  • I shop in thrift stores
  • I changed the font of this list to Georgia because Times New Roman is too mainstream
