About Me

Many people wonder where the .boy//who//runs comes from. He is one of them. He likes to believe that as a baby he was kidnapped by dinosaurs, who cared for him until they got bored. Fortunately, a travelling band of ninjas took him in and trained him to be silent as the night and to live in shadow. ^_^x Being afraid of the dark, this was difficult for the boy. He turned to videogames as a source of amusement and illumination. Many years later he discovered a world of books and sweet tea and hasn't been the same since...
One day they will tell a story of a boy who ran across the world only to be cursed by a powerful sorceress who turned him into a neopet. (whoa!) So if your looking for me I'm much easier to find on AIM [blueozymandias]... and there still is the curse of shrinking to a 6 inch tall neopet to get over. I still read endlessly (even neopets can read... but only the books on the bottom shelves without assistance) but now it's either at the library or at an Italian coffee shop where they oddly enough do serve neopets, but only if the neopet tips a lot.
...for more information you will have to refer to the chronicles of a boy who runs section... aka the blog...
I also move slow like daytime drama... but that's another story...
