John Russell Terrier

I must admit, sometimes I think I'm a little strange too.

About Me

I'm clever and on the ball. Definitely spritelike. When I close my eyes I know I can fly. I'm a bit squirrely, and pretty sure I learned relaxation while hyperventilating. I always feed stray cats even if I can't take them with me. I must admit, sometimes I think I'm a little strange too.
I indulge in MAKE BELIEVE. Often.
I'm a main stage performer at ComedySportz, so I perform lots of improv comedy. An audience's laughter is magical.
