honestly, i'm not one to collect friends on myspace... and save for a handful of people (one of them being TOM), most of my friends are old friends i've been lucky enough to reconnect with via myspace. if you REALLY want to be included as one of my friends and you don't know me IRL, please send me a message. i'm sorry i can't promise that i'll add you as a friend or respond.

Just got home. Found a house. Had a Facial, Made fun of Ashley Simpson at our hotel pool, Saw lots of Fat Europeans at a nude beach, and almost hit Joni Mitchell with our rental. oops.
Been a minute. We leave for Maui on Wednesday for 3 weeks to house hunt. Um yeah we decided to move. Chicago=icky. Beaches=fun. We really should see eachother when I get back.
I finished your village and sent it out in todays mail. However, I didn't have a box big enough for it, so I had to flatten it and roll it into a ball and stick it in a padded envelope. I included my original drawings for it though so you can reassemble it when it arrives.
I am going to marry a cicada. Then when he irritates me I can just step on him and be satisfied by the crunchy noise that happens when his guts squish out.
I just wanted you to know I drank a liter of seltzer water and am now scared if i burp my brain might fall out of the back of mys skull. yeah yeah yeah, grass is always greener, blah blah blah.
