Conci

I have no doubt...Gwen Steffani's in the trunk.

About Me

Total geek, dork, nerd, etc. Reading, writing, music, and translation are my passions, but I do hair and wait tables for money. While my loyalty to friends and family is limitless, I fall out of touch easily...which makes me seem like a jerk.

According to experts, my personality type is :
Adult Film Star

Other people like me display these traits.

  • They go commando
  • They have nose hair
  • They are scared of clowns
  • They have been abducted by aliens
