I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I eat a lot but I'm really thin. I talk a lot though I'm not much of a conversationalist. I'm a musician but I probably don't like your band. I have a sense of humor, but I'm not very funny. I don't watch much television, but I dig on commercials. I know a lot of people without the emotional strain of having friends. I love to sleep, but suffer from chronic insomnia.I'm eager, but I lack ambition. I have a fairly eclectic music library, but I still don't like your band.

My Interests
