About Me


hailsquishface: dick
hailsquishface: laugh it up
hailsquishface: over there
hailsquishface: in your shitty little room
hailsquishface: with your shitty little beard on
leninwasmetal: im sleepy


I own many hats with ear muffs. I do not own sandals.

I can seriously almost play Bach's Courante from Suite n.3 for solo cello, BWV 1009 on guitar. Seriously.
I work at a music venue. I enjoy neat things. I am a constant mess.

My Interests

Someone once told me I looked smart. Not because I actually looked smart but because I looked "too unkempt to be stupid."
I like to describe things as being,"mickey mouse" but I don't do it as often as I'd like. I enjoy playing classical guitar on rooftops late at night. The cold temperature will detune the strings on my cheap guitar. I take comfort in that.
Interests I (generally) enjoy: Sitting in my nowhere land, making all my nowhere plans for nobody. Photoshopping myself into social situations. Yelling at the television. Refreshing Craigslist.com's free section to come up on some shit. Re-creating FAR SIDE comic strips in my mind using the cast of M.A.S.H and Peter Sellers.

I'd like to meet:
