That's What She Said

I am NOT your trained monkey!

About Me

I know my status is single...but seriously...unless you happen to be this guy...

...I WILL NOT have sex with you!
So seriously take a moment before you click that message button. Really, read my profile first. I make my living as A WRITER . I put words to paper for money. I do not respond well to text speak and poor grammar (however misused apostrophes may be overlooked if I am in a good mood).
And by the way, your band sucks, and your Myspace isn't messed up there is a reason you can't add me.

My Interests

Writing
Reading great Literature
Reading bad Literature
