About Me

I AM A PERVERT

My Interests

let them be endless as the stars at night, that stare upon the lovers in a ditch - so often would love-crazed Catullus bite your burning lips, that prying eyes should not have power to count, nor evil tongues bewitch, the frenzied kisses that you gave and got.

I'd like to meet:

no one.

bitch boys

n.e.r.d. baby doll.

Television:

it's my decision
