Lil' Vinnie Songbird, the Songbird-Eater

About Me

I might be movin' to Montana soon, just to raise me a crop of dental floss... yeah, raisin' it up and waxin' it down... and I could sell it in a box downtown. Well, I might just grow me some beans, but I'd leave the sweet stuff to somebody else. I'm gonna find me a horse (a pygmy pony!) and ride him all along the borderline, with a pair of heavy duty zircon encrusted tweezers in my hand, all the other wranglers would say I was pretty grand :O) Yippee-aye-oh-tay-ayeeeee

My Interests

Super Nintendo, writing, catching frogs (catch and release!), working at a gas station, sneezing, riding my bike, facial hair, folks with no natural rhythm, a healthy fear of needles, stopping to read the graffiti, smoking in pajamas, naps, Indian food, big books, live music, dirty words, my cat (Milo Cicero), earl grey tea and vanilla wafers, having a poor sense of fashion
