CURRENT MISSION

Living and studying in Lyon, France!

ABOUT ME

I perform tasks with diligence and very seldom complain. I hate filling out profile information. I applied for a position with the Men in Black, but they turned me down because I was "overqualified." I maintain eye contact with myself while brushing my teeth. I won thirteen gold medals for Bolivia in waterboarding. I perspire Nutella. It is actually an off-brand, so it retails for about three dollars and ninety-nine cents. There is a higher demand for me in the winter. If I were to vote I'd say Eric B for president. I can appear in others' dreams. Few realize this, but I am an avid puffin taxidermist. I can rearrange my face at will and my bones are jelly fish. Time is an illusion and crab-walking sideways is an effective means of deviating from your liquid spear.
