About
solitude is better than you think: i like going into the print studio and setting type for hours and then rolling ink onto it and running paper through the press to make tiny books or posters or just jumbles of letters and words that look pretty. it makes my back hurt a lot, but it clears my mind and i think it's worth it in the end. in general i like to be alone, but this isn't because i don't like people, it's just because the art that i make likes solitude.
things i like to do with people: dance, talk (and talk and talk and talk, but only about things that are RELEVANT), have enlightening experiences (with or without the aid of drugs), make things, sleep/cuddle.
