Anyone who puts "I don't have patience/time to read anything" is an illiterate asshole.
About me: Professional loner. Amateur friend. Occasional son-of-a-bitch.
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe
