I paint till my hands hurt and my fingers are gnarled. I've worked in so many bookstores, I've been type casted. My home is packed full with animals, I might as well open a shelter. I could eat fried chicken everyday. I live in Portland and wish I lived in the desert. I used to live in the desert and wished I lived in Portland. I like seeing flower petals in my tea. I get very grumpy if I have to wake up before 8am, and that's almost everyday since August started school. I'm raising chickens and live with over 20 lizards. I can make a mean green onion pie. I'm terrible with money. I have no sense of direction and get lost constantly. My music collection was cool in the early 90's. I just read that they've found chimpanzees that use spears they've made themselves, and I'm a little scared.
