About Me

Jameson Fitzpatrick was born in D.C., dressed up in his sister's clothes a lot as a young child, turned out to be gay, blah blah blah, fell in love, had his heart broken, met his best friend, acquired the first of several addictions, fell in love again, and maybe never completely out.He's currently working on getting his first EP together (the aptly named "i'm with dick."), produced by Richard Saunders, Enlightenment philosopher extraordinaire.Anyway, Jameson loves you and wants you to love him!
