About Me

Get this, I finally have an iPod. No, I didn't buy it, nor did I steal it for that matter. Rather, it was given to me as a birthday gift. What I find amusing about it is that most of the music I listen to was originally played on LP's and the scratch of the album is bizarrely digitally rendered. But I'm getting used to the fact that I now have to read lips in order to eavesdrop on the subway.
Random facts:
It will take me up to three days to fully answer a question. But I'll call you whenever I realise that I have finished formulating my answer.
I will be one minute early when I say that I'm running late unless it is before 10am. Then I will be there at some point before 10am.
On the other hand, I wake up naturally at 7:30am but refuse to accept it since I still have a full hour to sleep on any given day. That fucks everything up.
I've recently become obsessed with America's Funniest Home Videos reruns.
I know, it's sick.
