About Me

Fame is nice, but reality is still a friend of mine. Dreams? I'd like to run a hotdog stand for a day, maybe star in a telethon of some sort. Fears? Impromtu invitations to make a speech before a boardroom of Bulgarian diplomats, bad lighting. (fluorescent, direct overhead, etc.) Turn-offs: 500 braindead kids dancing to C&C Music Factory in a warehouse in Brooklyn, excess coyness. Turn-ons: completely depends on circumstance and so conditional as to be impossible to predict. I've been trying to make some kind of flowchart that might foreshadow such things but I don't know much about flowcharts, so, you know, don't like get your hopes up or anything.
