CURRENT MISSION

to wander and to wonder

ABOUT ME

sometimes I'm mellow... sometimes I'm a mile a minute... sometimes I wear clothes that make people wonder if I got dressed in the dark... sometimes I learn the rules just so I know how to break them correctly... sometimes I realize I don't have music playing and I should... sometimes I question whether or not vegans should eat animal crackers... sometimes I wonder if I have A.D.D. - but obviously not for long... sometimes I wonder what I want to be when I grow up... sometimes I wear costumes just because... sometimes I follow my muse...sometimes she escapes me... oh, and apparently I like ellipses...

YOU can help me fill in more info when we meet...

I run and play with these ridiculous, rowdy, bizarre beauties so be prepared...
