Jurassic Cat

magic is sometimes very close to nothing at all

About Me

Some know me as the Empress of Disco, but I prefer to simply be called Karin, Cat, or K$.

My Interests

love, music, big victories, small victories

I'd like to meet:

I would like to find some masseuses, chefs, disco djs, and drug dealers as soon as possible.
If you dislike cats or insult my taste in music, we are going to have problems.
