About Me

I am a communist and a realist. Maybe I'm more of an idealist than I'd like to believe. I'm also an artist trapped in the mind of an anal retentive butthole. Often you can hear me scream. I'm getting better. I make witty banter. I'm afraid of looking foolish. I probably need your help more than I'm willing to admit. I'm not as open as I pretend to be. Sometimes I do asshole like things. Mostly I feel remorse. I am not sure who I am, I am embarassed by this. Sometimes I hide behind the know it all. He's as scared as me. I am not as self deprecating(I looked this up so that noone will ever find out I don't spell well) as this seems. I have a cynical shield and a sarcastic sword (it's real sharp). My most embarrassing (looked this one up too) moment was being rejected in my offer to look foolish. Please don't tell anyone. I am not a werewolf. Feel free to tell anyone you would like. I am begrudgingly afraid of death. The only way I feel loved is when I'm criticized (probably should, but not going to on this one). I am heroic in my own fantasies. I would like to be the mayor of a rural town and build a world class health clinic with free health services for all of my subjects. I am subjective. You are objective. Well.. I objectify you. I have a sense of humor. Nothing is off limits. I have permeable boundaries. They don't always serve me well. Someday I will be the ringleader of some absurdist street circus. Who will be the Barnum to my Bailey? I believe in now. I seem to have misplaced it. I have a crush on nearly every girl. If you pour it in ice cream it's creamciclicious (don't even need it on this one). I have more free time than I need. Would you like to swap? I fall asleep when I am mad. I am a pirate, a few hundred years too late.

Christmas Gifts?!?
