About Me

I live in Spanish Harlem, though I am originally from Mechanicsville, Virginia.My apartment could double as a zoo. There's the neurotic beagle, Fiyero. The fat Alpha-female cat, Hermione. The wild-child cat, Tim McGraw. The two moody betas, Bert and Mr. Fish Friend. As well as, the bad ass lizard, Robert.I trip, fall, and hurt myself more than just occasionally and I am probably the most accident prone person you'll ever meet.I often retain strange, random, usually insignifcant, but sometimes useful information, such as the number of stairs to my old apartment and the names of Waffle House waitresses from 2005.I like watching old school Nickelodeon shows. The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains It All, and Are You Afraid of the Dark? are currently in my DVD collection, wanna watch?My dream is to one day attend the Coney Island Sideshow School and become a sword swallowing, fire breathing, human blockhead.I am partial to Vodka Tonics.
