About Me:
My psychiatrist says I hold people to impossibly high standards and expectations. Really I'm just a crass, judgemental elitist. But in a hip, bohemian kind-of way. I swear.
addendum: I've become addicted to V8 (plus essential antioxidants). All I can think about is scoring my next 8oz serving.
Also please note I've linked to my favourite blogger, Wonkette. We're in love.

is one of the funniest people that I know
and one of the rare people that is more
sarcastic than me. He is a sweetheart,
but shhh!!! don't let anyone know that.
Miss you! come back and visit soon.
your ears...
to explain to people before they meet
him for the first time. As in "Most of what
he's saying is a joke, so don't take
anything he says seriously." I mean what
can you say about a guy whose idols
are Gordon Gekko, Bill Clinton, and
Notorious B.I.G.? Moyst Shafft rules!
Because Russell and I were
separated at birth [not really, I'm a
poor
Catholic with no peerage to speak
of], and he is the vice president [in
charge of Operations] of the Short
Adults Society [Ayn Rand Institute],
of which I am president, I feel
obligated to write him a testimonial.
The man is wonderful [gay] - his
irreverent, cheeky humor [really gay]
and willingness to heroically travel
over four hours to visit ["visit"]
has saved me on more than fifty
occasions over the last ten years,
and
he is the only person I want to call
when I [get dumped] need to
express
my general negativity and
pessimistic world view, which he
reflects
completely. He is an absolute and
unapologetic snob, but only on
matters
that are important [everything], like
clothing and children's names. In
all other categories, he is humble,
fair and unbiased [unless drunk or
awake] - very Fox News-y [I'm being
facetious]. He reads good books [to
escape his life when the drugs wear
off] w
