piscesris About piscesris
{These things are tough because I'm tough to fit into a little nutshell but here goes} My eyes are green because I eat a lot of vegetables.But seriously, I'm a Brooklyn based "freelance" writer who covets fashion (making semi-satirical commentary on trends), going to music shows, hitting up the specials at bars, and checking out new restaurants.
I write anything and everything (from the hybrid fiction manuscript I'm working on to poetry, scripts, reviews, profiles etc.) Brainstorming and editing are my favorite parts of writing (of course the middle is where all the falling in with the words happens). I'm a big visual person as well...photography (traditional and digital), graphics, sketches, patterns etc.)
I was born in Loveland, Colorado and lived all over that state before moving to Omaha Nebraska to then end up going to High School outside of Baltimore, MD. From there I decided to go to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY for their Writing for Publication, Performance, and Mass Media program. Been here ever since and just graduated. Attending a liberal art school was one of the best things I've ever done, despite it being very trying most of the time. Great talent comes from Pratt...too bad the economy is getting worse because I don't want the appreciation of art to follow.
There are very few things better than an authentic burrito. Well maybe that simple happy feeling you get when witnessing someone forget about the world while dancing.
I love skate shoes...because I skateboard, although I sew, I don't like needles too much. Nothing in my closet beats out my sweater boots...well maybe the BCBG dress.
My motto: Ever changing, ever attempting to overstand. Happy to contribute to 2threads.com! Keep this site growing and we'll take over the world.

conversely affectionate toward converse shoes
I wonder if as many people are conversely affectionate toward converse shoes as I am. I have a hard time wearing new converse sneaks because they're just too fresh. When I get new shoes that are any other brand, whether it be other tennis shoes, flats, high heels, or boots, I'm close to psycho in keeping them clean and scuff free. But when it comes to a new pair of converse sneakers I let them sit in my closetRead more...

Short Bob Haircut
The short bob haircut has swept the nation again in 2008. The bob haircut was a controversal style in its conception a little over 80 years ago. "The bob" or the "3/4" haircut was first introduced in The Great War and took ahold of women around the US during the 1920's. The bob haircut then wasn't just about being sleek and sexy, (as it is today) it was about rebellion and became synonymous with theRead more...
Hair Disasters
I'm sorry to disappoint you, there will not be any celeb fashion faux pas here. I just wanted to ask all of you how many times you've cried over a bad hair cut or dye?

The Lunge into 90's Grunge
Before we take the lunge into 90's grunge, a quick flashback I have a feeling the 90's have only begun to haunt us. Okay, so maybe haunt is the wrong word, I mean, my entire childhood spans the 1990's and I often look back fondly.

Hipsterfication: Hipster take over
Too hip for anywhere but Brooklyn: A Hipster, by definition, is a person who is hip.

In the 2000's 'hipster' conjures up new concepts that are mostly attached to throw-back turned trendy fashion and underground turned make-you-rip-out-your-hair music.&nbsRead more...

I drew the pic in my background back in 2003 when I was in St Petersburg, Russia. I have a whole journal full of pictures like that. I should really draw more... it's been a while.
Always glad to meet a fellow writer/lover of the written word. Keep up the great work x

I feel silly mostly when people wonder why the hell anyone would want to write something without the knowledge it would go somewhere. I just want it for me and getting published is an added bonus. That sounds great- I'm always looking for someone other than my boyfriend to look at my work. What is yours about?
jaye wrote on 24 September 2008
oh thanks :) I do love Marilyn. My novel, kind of complicated to explain which is silly since I'm writing it. Oh wow, I love to hear that people are writing too, I don't feel so weird. Do you have a publisher or anything? I feel kind of silly writing a novel I want to get published without anyone to publish it.
