About Me

A Non-sequential and non linear being, I really really like chocolate milk and love light eyes. intolerant of intolerance and a firm believer in love, I stand behind the fact that dr. pepper tastes better out of a can. Furthermore, I am nice, and I like to smile. i am. so apparently I have a small beverage fetish? whatever, it could be worse. i could look like nate ehrman. *shudders*

"You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire: But control of the mind is better and more difficult."
