: About Me

The thing about me is that I have this writing compulsion though I don't always excel at it.

I've got a Bachelor's Degree in English and Art and have relied on writing for many years as a way to pass classes I might not have without strong writing skills.

My passion is ...

socks. Nice comfortable socks.

I know too much about ...

teenage labotomy

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

My favorite memory ...

is where I'm having sex.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

DJ Rekha,The Gorillaz, The Roots, and Gnarls Barkley!

My first job ...

My best moment ...

the one I'm having right now. I mean now. Wait, no. NOW!

My inspiration ...

Oliver Sacks, Jonathan Swift, and Your Momma.
