I am here for Friends

About Me

I could stay here, become someone different. I could stay here, become someone better.It's so hard to go in the city 'cause you wanna say hello to everybody. It's so hard to go into the city 'cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody.When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky. Now all we wanna do is go to red places and try to stay outta hell.

My Interests

the color brown, blank surfaces, tweed, good smells, snow and the cold, animated features that aren't for children, sweater vests, whiskey, red wine, geometric patterns

I'd like to meet:

Whatever it is you think you are, you aren't: a good friend, unique, well-read, good-looking, or smart. Well now you know. And I hate to be the one to bear such bad news. I know it hurts to hear, but it's true: you don't mean anything to anyone but me, and even I think that you're blinded by conceit. Well now you know.
