About Me

Born in the desert and in residence there for far too long. strong desire to leave. someday. preferably back to London...

Fruity Oaty Bars make a man out of a mouse
Fruity Oaty Bars make you bust out of your blouse
Eat them all the time, let them blow your mind
Fruity Oaty Bars, Fruity Oaty Bars

My Interests

"The shark ethic prevails: eat the wounded. In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity." -Hunter S. Thompson

I'd like to meet:

"And if we turn the lights down low and watch the sky cry through the window, will I watch your fingers grow and stretch like butterflies? The shadows flexing, licking toes, and blinding as slowly the sun sets on the same old hill. The same red glow, we're quite alone. Just you and me and rainbows..."

otherwise, no one in particular. just another internet this'n'that to help kill time and eyeball friends.
