About Me

Average guy in an average world- it's round, you know. I hate mornings, but I like breakfast! I like everything and everyone as long as it doesn't want to eat me! I am straight-forward, and often reflective but not on the surface. Most people think I'm nuts- but no one has run off in panic- yet. I'm a warm and fuzzy- just like those lil' forest critters! So, come and cuddle me, darlin'- I'm squishy! :P ;) :)
