About Me

i don't always use shampoo. i hid in bathroom stalls as a child. i appreciate people who take pride in something that they make. i don't think new york is the only important city in the world. i think the most important places aren't cities. i like chocolate, mirrors. my initials are j.a.p. but at least i didn't wind up with the name my mother wanted to give me (jesse-hawk). my sister has a middle name that my dad made up (laoni). i think driving is better than flying. i get angry when people use the term "redneck" off-handedly. most of the older people i knew growing up were dying of cancer. i think most people aren't honest enough. that's too bad...
You Are Fish
You have a well formed palate and a daring appetite. If it's served to you, you'll at least try it.
People are pretty scared of your exotic ways. But once they get a taste of you, they're addicted! What Kind of Meat Are You?
