About Me

there's this question: "what's the one word that you would use to describe yourself?" i shudder every time i hear it. how could anyone do such a thing? if i had to describe myself in one word it would be impossible. not that i'm impossible, but rather the act of trying to define myself in ten letters or less is impossible. maybe there are some people who can do this but i know i'm not one of them. i like to use my letters in abundance. i enjoy the rhythm and sounds that words make--vowels and consonants clicking against each other, negating and validating our thoughts. instead of using one word to describe me, for now i'll use four: books. food. art. justice.ya dig?(LOL)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people that don't stink. people who can read, spell correctly and abhor the pairing of ill-fitting suit jackets and goofy sunglasses as much as I do. people that like to laugh and find me funny ("ha-ha" funny). people who love my quirks and idiosyncrasies--like my aversion to cooking and my short attention span. people who thought Amel Larrieux sang "I could live on your sperm" too. people who know who Amel Larrieux is. people who want the world to change and are actually doing something about it. people like you.

i used to love him or the dissolution of the asshole.

I used to have a thing for jerks. But assholery does not equal confidence. Assholery equals a poor, angry attempt at self defense with the hopes of unmasking the perceived weaknesses of others and con...
