About Me


I'm 22. I live in a house in Happyland full of books, CDs, records, magazines, and empty liquor bottles. I have a fake plastic tree in my living room. I attend East Central University where I post posters on the hallway walls. Sometimes I attend class. I am skinny but I can run fast. I shave twice a month and on holidays. I sometimes wear Dior with flip flops. I sometimes kiss girls. I sometimes scare people when I hide behind doors and jump out at them when they aren't expecting it. I love you. You know me. Yes, you love me. I was probably in "that class" with you. My cat poops every day and was named after two rather famous jazz musicians. Godspeed you black emperor!
