About me: I construct sentences for a living. Bad and fragment at times, but sentences nonetheless.
I speak Farsi, a little Swahili, and some Gibberish. I find Gibberish far more useful than Esperanto. I have an enormous amount of respect for the written word because unless you try to put words together yourself you have no idea how difficult it is to be coherent, especially in Gibberish. I encourage all my fans to brush up on their Gibberish because my upcoming novel will be written in the dialect. Hopefully, it'll be translated into English soon.
When I am not reading or writing, I am getting cracked by a chiropractor, having drinks or coffee with friends who are always encouraging me to be all that I can be, no wait that was the army recruiting officer-nevermind, going to the gym, cuddling with the kitty, or agonizing about stuff I need to write - I do a lot of that.
<-- Listen to my singer songwriter nephew. I take all the credit for his talent because really without a cool aunt, you can't get anywhere in this world. For this honor, I'd like to thank Foster who has always been there for me, I'd also like to thank Hassan Solo without whom I would be out of touch with the teenage world and of course I'd like to thank you know whom, yes I mean Ludacris because without his inspiring "I wanna lick lick..." lyrics indie rock would be nowhere today.
Who I'd like to meet: Wait, are we done talking about me? Damn, it's always about you, isn't it....ok fine but first please read the warning statement:
Warning: a friend request with no prior introductory email will be ignored.
On the other hand, I love making new friends and rediscovering old ones, especially those capable of speaking entirely in non-sequiturs, so just drop me a line. I also really like funny people, so definitely fill out an application if you are one of those.
One more note, if you have an outdoor pool and live in my neighborhood, I have a feeling that our friendship could really blossom this summer.
This profile is finally in tip top shape to go online friend shopping, don't ya think?
I'll yell at any punk on the street for you!! You should give me your real address; we can start a correspondence school.. Well, with ourselves.. I mean, c'mon..
I need a penpal since I moved in with mine. Maybe we'll fall in love and I'll move to NYC for you... :)
