:: tip for listening to music on profiles with dialup (or otherwise slow)
internet connections--- PAUSE music player for a while (1-5 minutes)
to allow song to load, then play. That's what I do! ::
I'm slightly off-center (a little "left of right", maybe? Bah.). I'm an art fart. I rarely make the first move . I can be very lackadaisical . I DO NOT like applesauce . I take a pill every day for hypothyroidism . I'm sure I'm annoying when I'm drunk . I listen to my headphones way too loud and have suffered permanent drum damage as a result. I'm probably smarter than you (o.k., maybe not...). I have asthma . I'm related to President Grover Cleveland and R. J. Reynolds (I'm told). I talk and sing to myself daily. I can fly and shoot acid from my pupils, bitch. I'm poor . I can be painfully shy . I'm a computer nerd . I'm in love with the Sandman . Trees are cool; I like trees . If you put me in a small room with a flappin' moth sporting a wingspan of 2 inches or more, I will freak THE FUCK out. . I like to make people chuckle (whether I succeed or just plain confuse 'em is another matter)....
Feel free to drop me a couple lines sometime, Kid- O .

A mix tape my mom made me while she was drunk... mostly top 40 hits from the late fifties and sixties. "I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning, like a whirlpool, it never ends, and it's you, girl, makin' me spin..." Haha.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 9/28/1978
A nun at the Vatican discovers the lifeless body of Pope John Paul I, formerly Albino Luciani, in bed. The pontiff had been on the job only 33 days before unexpectedly dying in his sleep, after having taken some sort of pills with dinner. The church refuses to grant an autopsy.
YESTERDAY IN HISTORY: 9/27/1854
The wooden steamship Arctic sinks in foggy weather after colliding with the iron bow of the Vesta. When Captain James C. Luce orders women and children into the lifeboats, the crewmen rebel and take the boats for themselves. Of 435 on board, only 85 survive -- and none of them women or children. It is the first major ocean liner disaster in the Atlantic.
