I am here for Friends

About Me

I have a problem with deadlines. But I'm told by indulgent people who set them that my work is worth waiting for. I hope all this adds up to good enough for grad school, and that dream becomes a viable lifestyle choice sooner than later.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My friends' mothers. The woman I thought I'd be by this time in my life. Other members of the ever-tightening web of the tri county community. Folks who got over getting screwed or being stuck up or just plain ugly. Pedestrians who smile and don't act like assholes because they feel good about being in the way.

Which soldier type are you?

belated public apology to L. Ferner M.
