   This Charming Ben's Blurbs
About me:
6'4", Cancer, California elitist (born & raised). I take a long time getting ready every morning. I brush my teeth for 10-15 minutes daily. I have never had a cavity. I am, at times, overly protective of my hair. I'm snobby about music. I may be among the biggest Smiths fans on the planet. I'm OCD about a few things, including hand-washing and CD-collecting. I am deathly afraid of spiders. I will not puposely kill an animal or bug. I am a vegetarian. It's worth mentioning, however, that I would absolutely kill and/or eat human. Seriously. No... seriously.

I currently play in This Charming Band, likely the closest thing to the Smiths since the Smiths. I suppose most other Smiths/Morrissey tributes also started out with that goal. But this one is different, because it's us. If you don't believe me, well... why don't you find out for yourself?

Who I'd like to meet:
I like confident people, people who contribute to the conversation, people who bring something to the table. I like narcissists like me. If you don't love yourself, why would anyone else? Though I'm trying to change this, my nature is to be very black and white, and very unforgiving. Notably, if you are taller than I am, I will avoid you. If you listen to shitty music, I will ignore you. If you like to hunt or fish, I might actually kill and eat you.
