About Me

I cried because I had no walking stick, until I met a man who had no spats.
I'm sick of cool, and I'm still no fun. I wear cowboy boots and a fascist belt because I can.
"There was a time -- it's long gone now -
When thee was you and you were thou.
I've always been myself, a me,
But how fondly I remember thee!
The whole world now is yours and mine
That once, my love, was ours and thine."
"Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops."
(arsenic and old lace)
Don't try to add me to your fake profile, please. I'll say it now, I report all of them, plus all of the stupid messages. No, you did not get a free iPod so stop lying to all these nice people. No, I don't care to meet singles in my area. Goddamnit no, I don't want to be friends it your Suicide Girls rip-off bullshit. I didn't like it the first time I saw it. Finally, I don't care about your band. You might think you play the greatest deathmetal/folk fusion this side of Mastic, but I assure you, I do not give a fuck.
"Let's get real, honey, you can look a little cheap." (Paris Hilton. Yeah, I fucking said it).
"If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist." (Dorothy Day)
