Too Strange to Live, Too Rare to Die

About Me

I'm pretty tall... Not really really tall, but taller than most short people. That means the oxygen is a little thinner for me than it is for most, which results in my more than occasional ditziness. I also have farther to fall, which does not bode well for my somewhat fragile construction. On the up-side, I can see better than most on the floor at concerts.Concerts are good. Ugly feet are bad. Smelly ugly feet are worse. Computers are fun, and so is putting Peeps in the microwave. Being dizzy definitely has merit, particularly when it's alcohol induced. I'm not afraid of flying, but I am afraid of falling.I still look both ways before crossing the street.
