About Me

I'm the ill-est motherfucker from here to Jakarta. At least if you go West and kinda South a little bit. I like noodles and eating, and I hate being hungry. I'm pretty quiet; for every word I say there are probably 20 I keep to myself. I try to live by my ideals instead of talking about them. Don't always succeed, but that's part of the battle. I also like a good pit, kung-fu movies, furry woodland creatures & other creatures that aren't furry (except snakes), and nerdy patterns like tweed & plaid. And I throw stuff when I'm angry.
