often quick tempered, i like to sit in the dark and listen to sad music,and, go out dancing or creating. i wont leave my home unless forced at times, and at others can't stay in one place for too long. i; prefer most (small) dogs to humans, most children over adults, forget how to spell most everything, refer to myself as "cynical" when i really mean bitchy, laugh loudly at mostly anything. i have a great appreciation for runs in stockings, smeared lipstick, stiletto heals, fancy hats. respect all my fellow p.o.c's, gender fuckers, perverts, queers of all shapes and sizes and shit-talkers. i love grrls and boi's, but wont check "date men", .... i'll build you a nest, but not cook you breakfast, i'll forget to call, but remember you always. i'll stick it out, talk it through, fight the power, build the future and remember to throw the dance party afterwards!
