My Interests

Turning every party into a dance party. Rocking tomorrow for the world of today. Mutant rights. What's Mitchell Hundred up to these days? Chunky Soup and Townhouse Crackers. Doodling incessantly. Working terms such as "inductive reasoning," "meme," and "dipthong" into punk rock songs. The Sons of Ba'al. Writing my own future history using a fake future English.

I'd like to meet:

This one time, I was at the Virgin Megastore, and like Cloe Seviginigeney was right next to me, and she looked like total shit.
