SHANNON!

i just want to dance in your tangles.

About Me


does it annoy anyone else that we can name a gazillion interests for ourselves, but there's nowhere to list all the things we hate? i'm as interested in finding people who hate the same things as me as people who like the same things as me. so i'm gonna list all the things that piss me off in my interests soon enough. if you want to, you can copy me. i'm in the mood for a revolution.

My Interests

i like making fun of everything, myself included. i'll melt cheese on anything, i don't drive, i make up words, i listen to music whenever someone isn't talking to me, and i'd rather hang out and play Jenga than go to bars/clubs. well, unless there's a good band playing.
