About Me

I have a superiority complex disguised as an inferiority complex. my vomit streak rivals jerry seinfeld's.--well, it did, anyway. i wish i found dudes under 35 yrs old attractive, but i don't.

My Interests

friction, dolly parton, richard simmons, drag queens, confrontations, donkeys, elephants, raking light, candlelight, the moon, horses, ink, masking tape, diatoms, the sound of cats eating crackers

I'd like to meet:

gentlemen of the long-haired persuasion--i don't necessarily want to meet these types, but i do enjoy staring at them. people who can activate my ridiculous side. croatians. anyone who wants to go to a blues club w/ me.
