Back and forth poo

About Me

I'm one fiercely independent individual. Most call me unpredictable, but those chosen few I call my friends know my true ups, downs, ins, & outs and know just how to exploit them! Seriously, I'm fun when I wanna be and moody when I don't. It's just who I am. I'm also a music nerd, so feel free to pick my brain. Gimme a try, you just might like me! But you might not.

My Interests

Obnoxious underground music of all types, cooking (I make a better housewife than all of the women I have lived with COMBINED), modern architecture and design, japanese video games, talking about everything from flatulence to the order of the universe, reading and composing poetry, furthering my painting career, trying to make more money at work without killing myself, paying off my student loans
