About Me


This is me and Stevie T. He carted me around downtown for a few years, then he left me for a bearded man.

I am kind and like animals.

Hey

Did you know ghosts can look like humans? Even like you!? This is a picture of a ghost that I took:

It looks like me, but it's not really. It's a ghost.

I used to live in Austin and go to UT. Then a bunch of drag rats kidnapped me and stole my tambourine. Now I live in Houston and go to St. Thomas. Luckily I found the tambourine, or the 'tambi' as we musicians refer to it.
