About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to fly a helicopter

ABOUT ME

Terrified of judgement, spiders. Pro-tolerance, anti-spiders.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm looking for the perfect place to live and the perfect job and I'm not going to stop until I find them or get distracted or hungry or tired or bored or if there's something really good on TV or if it's a holiday or if someone needs help changing a tire.
