About Me

I don't trust people who make their beds. I wish my brain were bigger and my legs were longer. I was a zookeeper in my past life (a very smart and tall zookeeper). I'm the busiest lazy person I know. I think being mortal blows. I'm a total aquarium dork. I'm addicted to NPR and newscientist.com. I love the industrial section of North SL, but only at night because I can make believe that it is a robot city, which makes me surprisingly happy. I hate humans, as a species. We're ignorant and selfish and we're fucking everything around us up and most people are barely paying attention. I love humans as individuls, we're creative and kind and endlessly entertaining. Also enjoy: pies to the face, squawking like an angry bird, cartwheels in formal dresses and my little monster bunnies Huntington, Squirrel and Radar.
