ABOUT ME

EMBLA; 19, Honolulu. Dark haired, brown eyed, 5′4″ and 7 stone. Formerly a thief, currently a student working towards finishing her triple major, double BS/BA degrees. Sleeps, eats, and plays with words.

LIKES; Radiohead, open source, a free Palestine. Fencing, J Dilla, graphing calculators, farmers markets, crate-digging, X-Files reruns, Arsenal FC, post-colonial theory, morning jogs, figure drawing, knee-length skirts, Sargent, learning new languages, and Oscar de la Renta.

EATS; Green tea ice cream with chocolate sprinkles, mango season, crusty European breads, palm hearts, the way the smell of fresh-picked basil on its way to the kitchen permeates the living room, Tollhouse cookies, olive tapenade, steamed soybeans, unpressed olive oil, raw cashews, Thai red chicken curry, and gelato in Duplo flavor, please. I daydream of Pierre Hermé, Ferran Adrià, Thomas Keller, and fraise des bois ice cream at Berthillon. I love chocolates from Vosges and Patrick Roger, but there is nothing more luscious than a Harry & David Royal Riviera pear. I will always pick fruit over chocolate.
