About Me

How many people really read this? Honestly? Well for those few that do - i like sarcastic wit, i have been called eccentric in the past, i read, i do like to laugh but on the other hand sometimes smiling makes my face ache (thank you frank n furter). I like to play games of all kinds providing i win and I always play to win, if at first i don't succeed i find a way to adjust things so that i do. I have a tattoo/corset/50s burlesque addiction/fetish, and love the whole dressing up kind of thing..oh and i'm a witch (and that is witch with a 'w' not 'b'). Favourite quote: I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world - Einstein
