There are some that say I am witty and full of obscure facts. Others will say that I am a well rounded individual filled with compassion and honesty. Still a select few will call me a jerk that will steal your shoes if given a chance. I think those might all be relatively accurate dependent on the descriptor.
Who I'd like to meet: People that meet any of the following criteria: intelligent, witty, awkward humor, musically open, or enjoys vinyl toys.
i dreamt that you were on your couch in front of your tv, crouched over with your shiny butt in the air...trying to flip channels with remote in mouth... *pets* :)
