Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes

About Me

My pink half of the drainpipe Separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of your life and every day to day event in all its minute and tedious attention to detail... And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday? Or, oh, no, it wasn't though. Oh, who cares anyway because I do not so Norman, if you're normal, I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six" through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head.So theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.........
