Capricorn

I'm really trying to figure out what my testimonials say about me.

Recently asked "Did you exit your awkward phase?"

Big ears, crooked teeth, long neck, blue eyes.

Aspiring to be "the Thomas Edison of handing a dude his ass."

Looking For Someone To Lie To Me

Bule sendiri di tempat.

I kiss yr sister in the kitchen (everyday).

Scientists will find a way to make you smile again.

I haven't eaten sliced bread since I was twelve!

Colors, moisture, heat, enough blue in the air. Four fucking reasons.

Other fans of Ray Smuckles and Roast Beef Kazenzakis.

Someone who is well on their way to collecting the two million Virgin Atlantic airmiles you need to take a free trip to space on Virgin Galactic when they launch in 2008.

People who are "enormously honked up and making bold claims by 9pm."

Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?

Do you know the difference between a cerignola and an alphonso?

I'm still looking for someone to tell me who I have to blow to get an article published in The New Republic. But at least I got one of their reporters to call out The Fiery Furnaces's "We Got Back the Plague" as the best Bush-era protest song written to date.
