Austin

Just an ordinary guy. With peanuts.

About Me

Born in Montana, 'teen-ed it in Maryland, moved to Georgia to go to school. I know how to drive a forklift, I'm pretty good at handstands, and I can fold dollar bills into little animals. I like to talk to homeless people more than I probably should, and I have an unhealthy fascination with Mr. T.

But mostly, I'm just paranoid that Tom is going to realize that I'm not cool enough for MySpace and kick me out.

My Interests

I like to take pictures occasionally.

I'd like to meet:

Pat Robertson. So I can punch him in the neck.
