I am here for Friends

About Me

this is what happens when jamie and steven find themselves with too much time on their hands. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

metaphysics, homeopathy, claymation shorts, open ended speculations, gorilla theatre, topiary facial hair.

I'd like to meet:

dance bandits and chatterboxes.

Music:

everyone's talking about the new sounds funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Television:

is bad for you, but easy to give up.

Books:

of life and love is the greatest book i have ever read for a miriad of reasons, namely that it was written in 1945 and it's still the truth.

Heroes:

my mother.
