...like a bidet of evil!

About Me

Not many people can say that the Mormons are after them.Quirky. Shy. Melancholic. Nostalgic. Daydreamer. A hater of Capitalism who shops when she's sad. Art lover. Museum lover. Object lover. An emotional mushroom. Finally starting to feel like a woman at 26 years of age.

My Interests

Steve Perry's tight pants. Swedish Pancakes. the macabre and innocence. Clive Barker's introduction to Nightbreed. Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps. The Citroën DS. Mid-century design.

I'd like to meet:

No one with a private profile. They defeat the whole purpose of MySpace: sanctioned stalking. I can understand having blogs be friends only, but entire profiles? No, I will not accept your friend request if I can't spend hours reading through every comment anyone's ever left you and your responses. Who do you people think you are? Pfft.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
