About Me

i was born in dubious circumstances in a motel in texas. that may or may not be true. fourteen years later i became aware of myself in the oven, i was a biscuit bear but never eaten. there i was, and jim said "you arent half baked!" the rest is not history, not yet anyway, someone will have to make it so. i speak with a slight regional accent, i don't love sewing, it happens to me though, i like the sound of a jcb, i like the smell of old books, i hate fruit, i want to transform into a tyranosaurus rex and i'm so glad i'm not in school any more because i danced with many a weasel back then and they took their toll on my joints. what more is there? there is very much more but as they say, too many cooks spoil the broth and i am only one, so my broths are always really fucking good. i probably don't eat enough cheese. sleep well. (but dream dream of fairy cakes, i should make more and then you won't need to dream about them because the world will be brimming and your mind will be satiated)

My Interests

weasels, cheese, pictures on walls, fairycakes, buttons and bows, dreaming, enza's trampoline, brb cocktail night, paper and string, glitter, sequins, anything sparkly (i am a magpie) sellotape
