Boy Avoids World

About Me

Queer fanboy and musician, three things I'm extremely passionate about. I like people who can both make me laugh and take my passions seriously. I'm an imaginative child trapped in the life of a grownup, and a responsible adult trapped behind a face of youth. I have an unbreakable magnetism toward sunflower seeds, small animals, and straight-looking gay people. I like to think I'm far more complicated than I really am.
I won't be blogging here. I have a livejournal for that. Sorry folks.
