About Me

i'm pretty transparent for the most part with nothing to hide so usually once you get to know me you know almost everything about me. except, of course, for the stuff that even i still don't know about. i hate writing these things 'cause i never know what to say...you're better off just talking to me to find out everything you need to know.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
