About Me

Let's see here. I hate phonies. Awkward silences freak me out yet somehow amuse me to no end. Sometimes I believe I've been dropped here from another planet, but that would probably mean that I'd suffocate in this foreign earth atmosphere, so maybe not...yeah, that totally made sense.The funniest thing I've heard in quite awhile was: "It's pi day today! 3.14. That must be why I'm acting so irrational!"

Gadzooks, a new term!

I'm deciding to use Myspace as a vehicle to coin a new phrase: Canned Rock.  Consider if you will, a trip to Pathmark or something.  You get to the soup aisle and see a bunch of different so...
