About Me

I had an existential crisis once. It tasted funny. I once thought I was growing up. I was happily proven wrong. Sometimes I think I know myself. Sometimes my actions surprise me. Sometimes a bag of chips is a rat. Sometimes I ride the 7 at magic hour. Drink of choice: Whiskey.www.livejournal.com/users/glowsw
