No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

About Me

As a Wee .. Jumped off roof with umbrella, burned Lisa P.'s eyebrows off accidentally, never did my homework and read all the time. As a not so Wee .. I dragged raced, hit a girl in the head with a sock full of quarters and was in by 11 (CURFEW!) As a college .. Made some suck sculpture, not so suck paintings and drums, drank a lot, walked in on "art projects" that always included someone being nekkid, and was nearly abducted by some guy in Italy. Post college .. Worked in CT,Pittsburgh, moved to Philly, made some BFF's and some very good times in Manayunk, moved to Raleigh and here I sit plotting and pondering.
