About Me

Rock 'n' Roll, air drums, and cupcakes fix everything.

My Interests

Books, music, more books, clean socks, really hot showers when it is cold, yarn, cats, movies, coffee, cheese, friends, naked pics of ashley phillips, my mediocre drumming skills, my even more mediocre celloing skills, acoustics in my shower, Clue, Scrabble, Boggle, Cribbage, fake bands that I am in, dreams about being shot by the police because I didn't pull over because I was too busy air drumming and rocking out, and more cheese.

I'd like to meet:
