About Me

i've been known to say much by saying very little. then again, i've also been known to not shut up when feverishly jazzed about something wonderful. i like untrained musicians, trained botanists, long train rides, and riding a conceit to its flayed and flogged fruition. fruits i like are clementines, pomelos (an original citrus), lychees, and guayabas. i consider myself straight, but fruity. i also like nuts.
