More About Me
- Julia
- New York City, NY, United States
- I like to laugh until my sides hurt, eat, play, and frolic all over the world! I suffer from self-diagnosed geographic claustrophobia (in layman's terms, wanderlust), and I may be addicted to pens and moleskine notebooks; I'm looking into it. I love losing myself in a great book with a cup of Earl Grey, sleeping in, and cooking up a storm in spacious, well-equipped kitchens. I hate purple, uggs, doing math, and people who walk really slowly in front of me on the sidewalk. I can be opinionated and very stubborn, but I'm generally quite flexible. Especially if you ask nicely. I also like lemons a lot, and most things vintage. When I find a typo in a book it makes me a bit giddy. I think boredom is for boring people. I like non sequiturs. And brunch.

My mother in law's bits and bites! She only makes them at Christmas time. Probably a good thing since we all stuff our faces until they're gone.. takes approximately 5 minutes :)
Merry Christmas!
