Free Beer Faith

seems like i always find myself stuffing boxes. and i kinda like it.

About Me

i mash a mean potato. i can pretty much do anything well when it comes to potatoes. i always find four leaf clovers. i am a mite superstitious. my greatest ambition in life is to find the secret to freckle unity so that someday in my lifetime they will all band together and i will finally tan. my toilet gurgles when it rains a lot. i am crazy and the first to admit it. i'm irish, aries and a natural redhead (ok, so, auburn.) = fire genesai! careful, careful... i can be too hot to handle. i often get told i am "a character" and that i make a workday go by so quicker 'cause i make it much more fun. i like to practice melodrama for the sake of avoiding taking life too seriously. i like to keep my life an open book to avoid getting ground in the rumor mill. most days i walk 'round with my foot so far in my mouth it's coming out my right ear. i could stand great improvement when it comes to keeping in touch. semantics get me off. math problems are fun. i'm fierce when it comes to my friends, so don't hurt them or i will kill you. i am prone to drunk dialing those i love and making absolutely no sense. (sushi grade bacon?! yeah... what? now it's the name of a book-in-progress.) i might run away from you if i don't know what else to do. i really like cheese, and all things cheesy. and pretty much anything and anyone. except spiders. they're from neptune, and just not cool at all in my book.
i am a writer. i want to work on a cruise ship.
i do my best to live by the following quote from harvey: "in this world... you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. well, for years i was smart. i recommend pleasant."
