I am here for Friends

About Me

Here's the basics:

My name is Brandon.
Seventeen.
I'm the luckiest person you'll ever meet.
I'm pretty intelligent.
Music is a great way to express yourself. I just prefer to write my thoughts and feelings for myself.
I've got a lot going for me.
I work at Brookshire's. And I actually enjoy my job. Most days, anyway.
If I could have any power I wanted, I'd take superspeed.
I'm beginning to realize I'm not always the most realistic person on earth, but I've got ambition.
