When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window,

About Me

I tend to start projects and not finish them in the same sitting.
I might forget your name but I'll never forget your face.
Sometimes when I wake up I have clammy hands.
Despite being a huge Beatles fan, I hate the song "Good Day Sunshine".
I ran into Tori Spelling in the bathroom at the Playboy mansion.
It will be a fine day when the clue "Jai-_____" is banned from crossword puzzles.
What I would love to do someday is go bobsledding.
I am left handed.
I wish i was a better dancer.
Right now I'd like to be in Patagonia.
My toes look like fingers.
Playing sports is terrifying because I suck at them.
I am not a liberal.
Waking up to the smell of food is somewhat nauseating to me.
Without corrective lenses, I cannot see my chin when my nose is touching the mirror.
I also happen to know that the second to last line of a common eye chart is T Z V E C L.
When we're together I'm checking out your fingers and toes.
I have a crush on Vincent D'Onofrio.
The outfit I wore to Missy and Shaun's wedding is still in the trunk of my car waiting to be dry cleaned.
I have an unread London Times from 1997 under my bed.
I am self conscious about my huge shoulders.
Parents who buy Frappucinos for their children and then only allow them to drink Sprite because it doesn't have caffeine are pretentious, and also clueless.
Sometimes I play dumb to see how people will react.
Given the choice between fight or flight I choose flight.
I'm a little bit afraid of seaweed.
When choosing a church, I pick the one that doesn't make me shake hands with strangers.
Men who are vegetarians are sketchy.

My Interests

I want to be this guy.

My daddy.

I'd like to meet:

What is REAL asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?"

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. Thats's why it doesn't happen to people who break easily, or have shrp edges or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But those things don't matter at all, because once you are real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
