hi

About Me

I like organic chemistry.... have a new cat named 'Tipsy McStagger'.... I have melted butter on brown sugar and then have eaten it (this is not hip hop slang for some sexual innuendo).... and I probably will die at a young age. Great, now you know everything about me. Please don't take advantage of your newfound knowledge.

My Interests

Molecular Biology (going to be going back to school for a degree in it), Theology, Cosmology. Stealing pies off of the window sills that they are cooling on. Crying myself to sleep. Laughing myself awake. Purposely trying to confuse the good people who work at Culvers in the downtown Milwaukee Grand Avenue Mall.
