About Me

i live in this city, see. and once upon a time, it was part of a huge empire run by a political party that orchestrated mass murder on an industrial scale. and everyday, i pass people on the street who are nostalgic for that era. if that sounds like your city, welcome to planet earth. i like to make casseroles with lentils, vegetable soup and curried mashed potatoes. i'm worried that some homesick security dude is reading my myspace profile and adding my name to a list of people forbidden to fly in US airspace. i'm self-medicated. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
