I don't know you but I know how your bra works.

About Me

I turned 30 and the world became quite easy to deal with. Odd becoming the non conformist when everyone else my age is heading the opposite direction, but there it is. I stopped caring what other people thought and have been doing my own thing since then. Fantastic age, especially with numb-nuts-n-chief screwing the country. Every day might be your last with him on the job, so enjoy the fucking hell out of it.

Was that good enough?

FYI: I don't like things that have their skeletons on the outside or small body hairs that detect miniscul movements of air. Addendum : I will admit grasshopers are cool and so are ladybugs and crickets, but I'm drawing a line at that. The bugs are either on my side or against me.

My Interests

Dropping hints. Reading, writing, keeping movies late, zombie movies, Truffaut movies. I like making lists.

I'd like to meet:



I'd like to meet people with a creamy chocolate center. I'd like to meet someone with detailed specifications on a cadaver automation machine. I'd like to meet someone who could tell me what the Hell I was doing. Not that I'd pay any attention. I'd like to meet someone who paints/writes/reads/etc. I'd like to meet people who genuinely dislike what they do and have some crazy scheme or thing they'd like to do.
