About Me

"I was already on the verge of weirdness, and these types went for the perfectly bouffanted cover girls with their little hair bows that matched their little shoe bows, and even if I found the bows that matched, they somehow always came out looking crooked."

My Interests

I fulfill all the scenester stereotypes.

sometimes, these things just come spilling out

On some nights, it feels like my skull can't contain everything that goes on in my mind and I need to spill some of it out - through swirls on paper, words on a screen, exchanging stories and thoughts...
