About Me

My name is Brittney. I love to learn. Directionally impaired. I strive for a paroxysm of selfhood.
When Edna goes to church, her head goes with her. Zebras in the wild never wear underwear. Opening a jar of a new brand of peanut butter will not vaporize the house. People never shove meat thermometers in their ears. A gerbil is smaller than Mt. Kilimanjaro.
