I might have been born yesterday, sir, but I stayed up all night.

About Me

I can't sleep when it's dark outside. I drink from the bottle/jug/carton. The scar on my nose is from a nasty run-in with the corner of a toy shelf in the church nursery when I was five. It was Susan's fault. I boast preternatural bartending abilities, a gift I approach with the utmost reverence. I've been known to blow glass. I'd like to teach the world to use apostrophes correctly. I have no tattoos. I have serious beef with organized religion, so if you see it around tell it I'll be waiting by the baseball field at 3. I prefer subtitles to dubbing. I have a special place in my heart for remixes, mashups, and covers. I have a mouse named Marla, but if I had a snake I'd have no qualms about knocking her out and tossing her in its cage. Half-assed is my middle name. whateverlife.com
