About Me

i just found out what a swinger is. think i'll try it some time. kit is not enthused, he just slapped my bum [lightly]. so the story is: against my better judgment i've been persuaded to join whateverthisiscalled. i'm not sure if it will be my cup o' tea, but let the games begin ************************************************************ ****************** i prefer dogs, much to the dismay of all my cat-owning felines...er...friends. i like dying my hair odd colours and prefer it short. i also have adopted certain pretentious british spellings. my favorite colour is orange, though i tend to use it solely as an accent colour. people rarely know exactly how to react to me, its usually a coin-toss decision. i love snow and rain and moving water. i am controlled my emotions and logic, favoring the one over the other whenever it is least appropriate. i love to read, but don't do it as much as i'd like because of school. music is oxygen, though the statement be clich. i don't like sharing beds, and would much prefer the floor. dirty dishes scare me [invite me over, you'll be glad you did]. i enjoy speaking my mind, though i meet awkward silences with some frequency. curtain. ************************************************************ ******************
