About Me

i like it when people point out that i have a dry or dark sense of humor. it reminds me of that scene in "igby goes down" when clare danes says, "that's funny...you're funny." kieran culkin replies, "why don't you just laugh?"
i like to talk and not talk. i could not talk or talk forever...
