About Me

(It's like they got together and said 'what do we miss most from the internet in 1998? that's right, embedded MIDI!')

Alright, I give in, here I am. Follow the links at the bottom to my various pages if you want to know things about me.

My material could use some exposure and I could use some friends. Graduating from college meant losing touch with most of the people I spent time with, so now I'm mostly hanging out with my cats.

I don't want to buy your new CD, I don't want to fill out surveys for money, I don't need to enlarge my penis, I have plenty enough porn already, and I'm not interested in whatever other bullshit spam you want to fling at me. Anyone interested in actually learning more about me, check out my:

Journal
Deviant Art Page
Literary Blog

I need practice with Deutsch and FranÃ§ais. If you speak one of these languages, please friend me!
