memories thinking feelings
I start crying when certain things come up, certain memories, certain feelings, and it's intense. But I think it's good for me - and therapeutic.
guitar people comedian
I really wanted to, but I just didn't understand how people became comedians. I kind of thought it was something you were born into. And so I wanted to be a veterinarian or an architect. I wanted to be in a band, and for some reason I could understand how you could be in a band because I had guitars and all my friends played music. Comedy was a secret want, but it wasn't anything I pursued.
graduation thinking moments
When anything huge happens to me, I always think, this isn't my moment, this is a moment.
zero school guitar
As soon as I say I'm from Texas people say, "Oh, I'm sure the school was horrible" and they picture me wearing some barrel and suspenders and people are bucktoothed and ignoring me. But that's not the case. I just had zero interest. I wanted to finish my research in the woods or play guitar or go have a cigarette.
dark thinking puppets
I'm always going to do whatever I think is funniest. If something's dark, I'll do it. If it's a sock puppet, if it's a stool, I'll do it.
school trouble interest
I didn't have an interest in school at all and was getting in trouble all the time.
coffee paper cigarette
When I couldn't get ahold of cigarettes, I'd roll coffee grounds into typing paper and smoke that and then vomit.
girl mother country
It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.
tragedy right-now
I am just at tragedy right now.
wrinkles hair age
My age makes all my wrinkles and gray hair make sense.
unlucky persons
I'm the luckiest unlucky person.
order bird documentaries
I love devastating movies, documentaries and hummingbirds (yes, in that order).
coffee making-money babysitting
I worked at restaurants and coffee shops and babysitting and just whatever I could do to make money.
school class talking
I was talking and playing pranks and skipping school, failing pretty much every class I took.
