About Me

I am a complex creature and a force to be reckoned with. My hands are always cold, my insides are always warm, and I taste like chocolate icing.I've written a couple novels - God-Shaped Hole and How to Kill a Rock Star . Wrote and directed an indie movie once too - Dream for an Insomniac .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus and Johnny Depp.
