the mission's in jeopardy. destroy the planet!

About Me

you may stalk me on livejournal: my username is squeak. i promise it is not particularly exciting.
am on tribe and friendster and, uh, orkut too. i have an inordinate amount of free time, it would seem.
donna and jher have naked pictures of me.
small dogs fear me. big dogs love me. children are either very wary of me or think of me as their personal jungle gym.
i am not a 'cat person', but i like cool cats.
i can touch my tongue to my nose.
certain tom waits songs make me cry. not much else makes me cry.
i am a fiend for good coffees, beers, wines and meats. i can probably eat more sushi than you can.
i think porn is funny.
i was living in the high nevada desert to work for the dpw, a burning man organization. then i was in damp nola with cr. then i was living in incheon, south korea. now am back in my chosen hometown, austin, tx.
i do silly things to my hair.
i can name the states in alphabetical order.
i may be imaginary.
i was once hijacked by khazakstahnis, held hostage for nearly 48 hours and released in exchange for 2 large pizzas and a copy of sims 2. really.
