I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a klutz who seems to always get back on my bike and ride home (somehow). I'll laugh at you when you fall, but I really, honestly, am concerned when I ask if you're okay. I'm positive my dogs are smarter than 90% of the people I meet. I've accelerated my list of places I want to visit, yet the list keeps growing. MTV's Jackass stole my shot at fame. I hate that I'm starting to like the color pink. One day, I will make art again. Until then, I'll just pick on everyone else's! Just kidding - show me your work, really...

These quizzes kill me!

Cabin Fever

We got dumped on yesterday - snow-wise, I mean. I LOVE snow, but sometimes it's just ridiculous. I have two dogs, and when it's too cold for two crazy young pups to go play in the snow, you know it'...
