About Me:
Pretty much, if you took a monkey, a ninja and a super-mega-
nerd, and you put 'em in a blender, then you added some stompy boots
and strappy pants, that'd be me. Although, I think I'm less gooey.

Who I Want to Meet:
I want to meet people who are more fun than a bag full of
muppets,
are smarter than the robot they just built, or more surreal
than
Salvador Dali himself. I like talking to new people, but
please don't
ask me to add you to my list unless we've at least talked a
few times, have met in person, and/or you know at least two of the
many nicknames I've gone by.

superb. As for your homemade Thai food-
its far superior to some of the Thai
I've had in Thai restaurants. This man
can cook!
boys you meet? They're just imitating
Ben.
in St. Louis. He recently acted like a
true friend when I was in some
craziness, and even though I don't talk
to him very often I have always felt
lucky to have met him. I would
definately let him borrow some fresh
socks if his were sullied somehow.
I love Ben.
He is cool.
He takes all the cats to school.
And that's all I have to say, except
The Ben rhymes with The Jen, and
therefore he is even cooler.
mean totally sweet.
off the whole "metrosexual" thing
better and more convincingly than I do.
I think the strappy pants are what
clinched that.
Also, he's the only person who's too
cool to hang out with me who'll still
hang out with me.
And he invented Beak Biggener.
when I "put my order in" to meet
someone who I could relate to and have
fun with. Ben is someone who I connect
with on a 'belly button' level. I adore
him and hope to know him even when I
get famous and forget everyone.
MuuuUUuaaah!!
Tekken. His MONKEY can mop the floor
with me at Tekken.
five kathi! Ben is really awsome aand a
great person to go see movies with, he
doesn't talk through them that is
awsome! and and he can cook, but I
think everyone already said that. And
his monkey is adorable as is his cat,
and if you ever manage to meet his
cat ...toss the Q-tip and toss it
far! :) some of you know what I'm
talkaing about.
memories of attending social gatherings
known as "Benanza" that he used to
throw. One of the early Benanzas
involved the largest single quantity of
macaroni and cheese I have ever gazed
upon. It was glorious!
