Sadie. She/Her. USA. Literature is life. Sad songs forever. Burgeoning writer. Novice painter. Film nerd. The empathetic kind. 💙 “I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”
Bumped into Damon Albarn and had just bought a birthday card for my wee brother
Was on the tube in London after buying the card. It was the middle of a weekday on the Hammersmith and City Line so very quiet in my carriage. Someone was drumming with a pencil on a notepad and it was winding me up. I looked up to see who was doing it and it was Damon. Realised I had a golden opportunity to get him to sign the card. Wee brother is a big fan. I approached him after he got out at Great Portland Street and he couldn’t have been nicer about it.
