About Me

Little planes that drift so high,
The two of us side by side way up there
With the tiny engines humming,
Clouds sail underneath and there really are no words
To talk about all the things we know.
Oh the things I could tell you about me.... endless, massive, tiny things I could expound on..... telling you that I'm shy..... I'm funny.... that I like to think I'm intelligent...... that I'm weird and that I have a very dark sense of humor....... train wrecks? HILARIOUS....... I like children but I can't stand being around them for extended periods of time.................. I love sad songs and sad movies and sad books....... that beauty holds me captive....... I shan't inform you that I'm a chinese food addict, sushi addict, and all around food lover...... or that I love baking.... because that would be a waste of time.....
I could also tell you, maybe, that I'm very stubborn.... sometimes pretentious..... the phrase "elitist bastard" has come up once or twice in several social settings....... I could mention that I prefer my own company a lot of the time....... One such as myself might inform you that I am a music snob....... and that I have many faults....
And lastly, if I were to, possibly maybe of course, be telling you about myself...... I might mention that I am an artist..... I write poetry and children's stories..... my first book of poetry was released in May 2006.... and that I love painting, very much....... and that, contrary to popular belief, although an elitist bastard I may be, I am very nice..... completely honest, at all times and in all circumstances..... and that, should I become close, I am prone to telling my friends that I love them..... because I do...... I might say that once you've got me, you have me.........
Then again..... I could tell you many many MANY numerous things....... but...... why would I?
