"I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds. I mean uh, all our lives we've been laughed at and made to feel inferior. And tonight, those bastards, they trashed our house. Why? Cause we're smart? Cause we look different? Well, we're not. I'm a nerd, and uh, I'm pretty proud of it."

Kill you television, honey! Kill pussycat, Kill, Kill, Kill

Books
My strangest reading experience ever...
And I fell in love with that book.
Heroes
Marianne Faithfull for what she sings, what she went through and the Times she epitomizes
JOLUPUKKI AKA SANTA CLAUS IS MY FRIEND AND THAT FEELS SO GOOD...
..
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli", he said. So i left the gun and took the cannoli.
I didn't kill anybody today and thought that was a good score.
...Just a raspberry. Because killing a raspberry is easy. It's smooth and bloody. Raspberry Junkie. One day I'll quit.
Yuk, she passed out. Poor poor little girl. She used to be a nice cute girl but those stupid morons bastards of sonuvabitch got her so bad. They painted all over her and from that moment she's stuck against a wall in a museum. Museum, my ass. That'd rather be a gloomy garage. Still, she's hanging on a wall and not everybody's got that privilege. A wall, a garage, a painting; me, myself and I, Damn me if I understand something.
And before this goes any further, I'd like to say that I hate zucchinis and everything that's green and might look like a vegetable.
They're mean and vicious, cause cancers and will be your ruin.
Let me show you where I wanna live and present you my dream life in a showcase:
And I am one more of those French girls who hates her home country and left it for a bigger larger vaster wider immense and infinite one; and enjoys being a stranger; and freaks out sometimes...
..
Nope, that isn't a page dedicated to Adam Green... I happen to like him a lot but the times when groupies were about to rule the musical world are over and there's no point being one today. So I'll let Adam go...and jump on the singer of Sweet Adeline.
MY CREATIONS or Do crafts not drugs
Well just one... because i'm like that woman in Sex And the City who's just been dumped and creates dreadful bags. I haven't been dumped yet but I create all sorts of things my family has to wear or carry around...
I've uploaded a new song on my page. It's called "Peace Of Mind". I'd love to know what you think so if you have a chance to have a listen and let me know that'd be great!
