Georgia peach and Texas tea
- Nilly
- The Eug, Oregon, United States
- Small, sharp, and wren-like. Enjoys fiddling with words and smearing paint in bold, bright streaks across any given surface. Dreams constantly about ghosts and secret passages. Dances drunkenly to Stevie Wonder alone in the living room; sings with Joni Mitchell while washing dishes. Hits the high notes. Loves political theory and general pontification, but hates people who do nothing but pontificate. Loves the scents of paperback books and freshly clipped grass. Reads too far into everything. Has two broken bones and a left eye that has recently taken to twitching. Lives with an obsessive, spotty cattle dog and an indecisive Irishman, which is not unlike living with Wallace and Gromit, minus age.
