About Me


"My idea of Heaven is a solid white nightclub with me as a headliner for all eternity, and they LOVE me."
"Good advice...
If I'd listened earlier, I wouldn't be here..
But that's just the trouble with me..
I give myself, very good advice..
But I very seldom follow it..
That explains the trouble that I'm always in
'Be patient,' is very good advice..
But the waiting makes me curious
And I love the change, should something strange begin..
Well, I..went along my merry way
And I never stopped to reason..
I should have known, there'd be a price to pay, someday...
Someday...
I, give myself, very good advice..
But I very seldom, follow it..
Will I ever learn, to do the things i should?"
-Alice (Alice in Wonderland)
