NAOMI SEA
why do i call myself naomi Sea?
firstly, it's a play on my middle initial, being C.
when i look up the word "sea" in the dictionary, these definitions appeal to me:
* a widely extended, copious, or overwhelming quantity
* something that suggests the ocean in its overwhelming sweep or vastness
* anything apparently limitless in quantity or volume
