About me: I like music, I like to read, and I have a witty but strange and self-depricating sense of humor that some people find offensive, so I try not to say much on Myspace. Sorry.
Who I'd like to meet: anyone... I'm up for whatever
This is incredibly important to me!!! Please pass this along to everyone you know!!!!
I am proud to say I am involved in this great show called The Garage. We have all put a lot of time, love, sweat, and some tears (at times) into this show.
I'm not just telling you to watch it just because I am part of it. I'm telling you to watch it because it's a great show. It is very funny, and a little off the wall. It has great actors in it! You won't believe the talent we've found!
Right now we have Promos up, and THIS SATURDAY (9/6/08) the first Episode will be released!
I promise you will not be disappointed, and you can show some love and support to all of the cast and crew.
I was over at Casa Caster a few days ago w/ Faye and Brooke. I went through your boxes and tried on your socks. Just thought I'd let you know...in case your socks felt a bit less stretchy than they felt last week.
I just walked 100 yards in the pouring rain to send you this message. Cats and dogs bounced off my head and totally fucked up my umbrella. I fear lightning, my shoes are ruined and my spirit is broken. If only you were here to hold me tight and tell me everything is gonna be ok. If only. If only.
I miss my brother. When you get your phone fixed call me. I hope you come back to school this semester, It is not nearly as fun without you. Frowny face.
Faye's previous comment is the whitest thing I've ever seen. I wonder if the corpse of James Brown did the splits, then spun around, then tried to claw its way out of the grave just so it could go to Oprah's show and slap her across the face with one of James Brown's massive, dead nuts as punishment for being so damn gay that even gay people took a collective step back and said, "damn, that's really gay." I wonder...
I'd like to thank God for Extreme. And I'd like to thank Sean for knowing some Extreme. So I'd like to thank God for making Sean and allowing him to know some Extreme. And I'm glad God didn't mess up and accidentally make Sean, Heath Ledger. Cuz that would suck for Sean...and for all of us...well, except Heath Ledger. I guess it woulda been pretty cool for him...at least today it woulda been pretty cool for him. Just a little dark humor before bed...hugs.
