About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

my income tax return never came, i am being hunted like a rare bird, i can't remember names. insomniac tendendies. i play bass in Drab, i live at AS220 with 11 other crazy artists. i teach at RISD and work as a mild mannered customer service sales rep at an location that shall remain undisclosed. i want to go camping. i'm through taking the high road. i have 6 pillows on my twin sized bed. i have a pet kitten. i broke my leg this summer. i drive a beastly 1988 pontiac grand am. i don't know how to really ride a bike. i can swim 5 miles in one go. i will kick your ass in boggle. i want to take tap dancing lessons. i wish i had dance dance revolution in my room. i've used those mcdonalds excersize dvds. i'm a ciccadia and a hermit crab that has switched shells. i cook a mean eggplant parmesian and i laugh at folly. mostly my own.other than all that crap i'm just both done and ready if you know what i mean.
