Exterminate the Brutes!

About Me

I don't dance, sing, or feel completely confident with where I am going in life, but I enjoy laughter, smoking, and standing barefoot in my kitchen eating sunflower seeds and reading Vogue. I am an English major at UK (suprise), and live with my oldest brother Caleb. I moonlight as a bookstorewhore all over town, and spend way too much money on music, clothes, and mediterrainian food. Not much else to say about me, except that I enjoy life very much and and fully intended to spend the rest of my life discussing Edgar Degas, and watching my brothers have babies.
