About Me

I am on my lunch break. I have a sandwich, fortune cookie, apple, veggies (carrot and celery sticks) “bugjuice” and crisps. I am willing to trade the sandwich, the apple and the crisps, but the cookie, veggies, and bugjuice are non-negotiable.
UPDATE: JANUARY 1, 2007 --Having recently fallen through a minor tear in the fabric of space, I'm not really sure of where I am or what is going on...YET. In my pocket I have a packet of salt, a pen, a scrap of paper, a stick of gum, and some loose change. I also have my towel. Equipped as I am, I should be out of this quandary in a jiffy.

My Interests

Sticky wickets and bricks to London.

I'd like to meet:

UPDATE: JUNE 22, 2005 -- This profile appears to have been hacked... So what's it gunna be, cowardly profile-snatchers? Will I log in to find that you have made the background a sea of pink bunnies?! *sigh* "You can choose your journal friends, but you can't choose your hackers."
UPDATE: JULY 06, 2005 -- It has been a really swift two weeks since the "hack-attack" and as far as anyone can tell, all is well with this page -- that is to say, "myspace" controls the horizontal and vertical, and "lpzd" controls the content... xie xiefully yours, nan c.

Update to "You boys better duck and cover..."

One of my friends reminded me that I have a tendency to take things too personally. The whole "Boyfriend Season" thing isn't really intended for me specifically. It's not even necessarily intended for...
