About Me

I wash my hands. I follow the rules. I'm good.
I was born 100 years after Heinz added ketchup to its condiment line.
I have a pathological fear of balloons.
I'm the kind of girl who would spend $200 at the vet to try to save a gerbil's life.
I'm magic for the chosen few.

starvation will be

My eyes are achy and it's far too bright outside the office window. It's unnatural and alien. Something has taken ahold of me. A tiny army presses mercilessly down and renders me useless to do much mo...
