I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I miss lake Michigan. I miss pine forests. I even miss seagulls crapping on the roof. I am biding my time until I can get out of the armpit of America, although the armpit is happily a bit bluer than it was when I got here. I miss ice cream in the winter. I miss going sockless.I do not like cat hair as a fashion accessory. Tomorrow is my birthday and I am going out for tempura.
