Raquel Román

United States

I read magazines and hang out with friends in empty parking lots where we talk about hating the government and the people that ran away. I drink coffee more than I eat food.

I make plans to speak in accents and cause scripted scenes in public. I create awkward situations and uncomfortable silences by constantly crossing the line that I seem to live the majority of my life balancing on.

I love being nice to people who dislike me. It's my favourite game.

I'm very assertive, slightly temperamental, and very sarcastic. I expect people to come to the opinion-table entirely versed in the issue and I have little patience for ill-prepared debaters.

I'm also very nice.

I'm best at print-making and drawing, though I post a lot of photography. It used to be a big interest of mine but then I started working in photojournalism and I found my relationship with it dwindled.

Favourite genre of music: Indie Rock, and of course the gangsta rap they play on HOT 103 JAMZ.
Favourite style of art: Mixed media
MP3 player of choice: iPod Classic. Fuck cracked screens.
Skin of choice: Yours.
