Xiomara

I'm only here to dazzle you with quality bullshit.

About Me

My perpetual fear is levitating in church because I don't want people to look up and see my underwear. I am married to a sonambulist and since I lucubrate, it is a perfect match. I am in love with an anime villain so this is a hopeless, very hopeless romance.

My sister for being a toy-nazi...deciding when to play with our toys and when to stop then making sure I put them back on the shelf in alphabetical order. I grew up the most well-adjusted person I know this side of Neptune.
