Whether or not you face the future it happens right?

About Me

I have two scars on my right hand from a cat fight I was involved in. Bart, the cat, clearly won. I am surrounded by people who amaze me on a daily basis. I always wear an undershirt. Vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting are my favorite. When I am nervous my right middle finger tingles. I bite my cheek when I am deep in thought. I prefer my middle name to my first, which I feel guilty about. I have a seemingly endless capacity to remember useless information. As I have aged, I have come to realize I prefer Bobby Kennedy to JFK. I own Casablanca, and yet have never watched it, but when people ask me if I have, I lie and say yes. I own too many CDs and find myself listening to the same ones over and over again.

My Interests

There's a tree that grows in Brooklyn. Some people call it the Tree of Heaven. No matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. It grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. It grows up out of cellar gratings. It is the only tree that grows out of cement. It grows lushly...survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. It would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.
