About Me

Lately I have been hoping for something wonderful to jump up and bite me in the ass. I recently moved here and have one friend. Boy, do we have a great time together, once in a while. I would like to meet some new people who have a vocabulary consisting of more than 5 words. "Nice", "rad", "gay", "chill", and "sweet" are not appropriate terms for describing ANYTHING. Plans that stretch farther into the future than next week is definitely a bonus. 4/20. I’d love to make friends with people more like myself. I have in the past, so I know that it is possible; you guys just live really far away, and I miss you so much. I don’t believe in mediocrity. Either you aim to master, or you don’t aim for anything at all. I have been painting since I was 11 years old. I have been writing poetry since I was 5. A lot of people write poetry. My favorite place in the world is The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. My favorite restaurant is Yaffa Cafe. I have only completely trusted three men in my entire life. I only still trust two of them. I don't like people who think they know everything. I hate young people who think they have it all figured out. I don't care if you majored in Philosophy. I think people are atheists for the same reasons that people are religious. Bright Eyes is my favorite band. My favorite song is Bowl of Oranges. I believe everyone is a consequence of their own circumstances. I believe true love lasts forever. The best friend I ever had was a dog named Mikey. Mikey bit me when I was six. Questions? Comments? Write me. Maybe we can be friends. And maybe later we can have a falling out and become enemies (for those of you who like conflict).
