My name is Helen, and I live in Brooklyn. I enjoy surprises, big and small, and approve of most excitement in general.

I am curiously drawn to things that I find grotesque or perverse or unsettling, like books by Elfriede Jelinek or bugs. I love every single thing about summer and fall, am indifferent to spring, and hate almost every single thing about winter. And I can forgive almost anything under the sun as long as it is sincere.
