Awwww did you put firecrackers in his head just for ME?

About Me

How many lead singers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One. He holds it in the socket and the world revolves around him.
It's hard to describe myself, considering I'm probably the most complex person this side of Mr. T. My name's Mike, I'm from the Upper West Side of the "Big Apple"...although NO self-respecting New Yorker actually calls it that! I'm a singer. I have a big mouth which gets me in trouble often. I stare at people way too much. It's my goal in life to one day own a microphone that says "Mike" on it. I love meeting new people. I like going on random adventures, especially wandering aimlessly around Union Square at three in the morning. I have a sick obsession with clothes and probably own more than 1,000 different outfits.....AND I'm secure enough to admit to that! I love my Gemma and Julia...we're the Triplets of Hellville! I'm constantly under-estimated, and lots of people think that I'm just a dumb blonde, but I LOVE proving them wrong! I'm a fighter...I don't take shit from people. I have a firm belief that there are only two kinds of people in the world...people who like Grease 2 and people who don't like Grease 2.
