About Me

i love the word "fulcrum". i'm also a fan of cardigan sweaters, and in fact wear them often. i've never been in a band, nor do i know how to play an instrument. i write occasionally, and i do it well. i'm smarter than i give myself credit for, but not as smart as others think i am. i get your jokes. i lack brawn, but you won't care. i'm way too close to thirty, and have virtually nothing to show for it.
except my sweet tat.
