About me: reading, writing, crafting and comics.
I make necklaces out of tokens and sell them at wonderwheel.etsy.com.
I don't get bored. I think that's my most distinctive characteristic.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who makes me want to work harder. Amusement parks, past and present. Clive Owen, Tony Leung, the professor on Heroes. Superheroes and anti-heroes.
Hey lady- I'm ditching Myspace to simplify my life, in case you wonder why I'm unfriending you (I'm so PARANOID people will wonder, when they probably won't even notice). Looking forward to seeing you soon!

crazy busy but in a good way--lots of interesting work to keep me on my toes, out of town trips, and plans in the making. I only wish I had more time to see friends (and that I didn't live so far from so many of them.) You? Wanna get together sometime? We know of a fun Halloween party next weekend if you're free...
I'm not sure why she was so upset. You'd think she would've been happy to be serving something other than 17 cent wings. It was good to see you too if only for a small while. Next time, I think we set our culinary sights a little higher.
