I look like a little boy; I act like a mean old lady. I'm prone to make vulgar remarks, curse like a pirate, rant about the state of the things, or remain silent for long periods of time. It usually depends on my mood, which is cloudy with a chance of showers. If you can tolerate me for any length of time though, I'll melt into a light, lemon meringue cupcake, but not really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm secretly hoping someone will vacuum for me. Or maybe this is my one good deed for the month. Something like that.

Interests

Many, but I'm too lazy to wake up from my nap.
