Allegra

I stay up late to watch the sky change from blue to black to beige and blue again.

I am having a love affair with the sky. Don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

For someone who writes so often I suppose it's ironic that I never know what to write about myself in these things. I find it interesting what other people would have you know about them though, what they think is important. I find little things like that fascinating so I suppose I'm a bit odd to start with.

To continue I'm a critically indecisive realist. I'm not even sure of myself most of the time. I enjoy writing lists and schedules but never stick to them. I want to learn to do a million things like speak Swedish, play guitar, skateboard, hula hoop and play poker. My mind is always turning over a million things but I am a simple girl and I never ask for much. I'm a typical nerd and I'm excited by fashion, photography, books, ideas and theories.

I'm also something of a gypsy having moved house 13 times and I love moving from place to place and meeting new faces and making new friends. Soon I'm off to university where I'll study fashion for four years, party and pour through magazines until my eyes dribble down my face in torrents of glitter and sequins.

When all the book worming, sewing, styling and learning is done away with I hope to live in a little red and yellow house with a turret filled with vintage treasures, a library with a million books and one of those ladders on wheels, a Ragdoll kitten that likes to sleep in the draw of my desk and a sofa in the kitchen so me and my best friend can chat and bake cupcakes to our heart's content.
