About Me:
I sleep with a stuffed bunny and fantasize about bar fights. I think everybody has a good story to tell; they just need someone to listen. I burn myself every time I make a campfire. My mac and cheese is good, and my apartment is tidy. I'm a slow learner, but once I figure something out I hold onto it tight.

PS NO BITING during the tango....lol.
Seriously, Mark has become a good friend when he had ample reason to write me off and I'm grateful. He's gone above and beyond the call when I needed a hand, a laugh, or a sympathetic ear. He's witty and smart, self-evidently cute and understands the mystic perfection of a deviled egg or a nice banana pudding.
Among the cowpokes of the Metro DC Corral, Mark is one of those wearing the white hats. (How's that for a tortured metaphor?)
Mark and I have been friends since
kindergarten! He has been my friend
and accepted me through out all of my
incredibly horrid hairstyles in the 80's
(and believe me, there were plenty).
Life is just a little bit better with Fergie in
it! :)
down home goodness and Boston's
chic. He's the only person that I'd
actually be caught riding in a VW beatle
with (and, yes, he used to have one!).
He's the type of gay guy that reinstills
your faith in the world just when you think
the gay world is a titanic two seconds
after hitting the iceberg. He's got more
class that the nearest state university,
but more importantly, he's the friend you
can always depend on. Get Mark; it
pays!
friends. He's a lot like family,
really. Acutally, if you factor in his
love of fried cheese and cheap whiskey
he's JUST like my family. Mark and I
have forged bonds that cannot be
broken. We've been through
questionable early 90's fashion
choices, romantic woes, family hijinks
and several roadtrips. I've always
been able to count on him. I always
feel totally accepted and understood
when I'm with him. He's the best.
He is a friend who I miss alot!
