Looking For

Queer Friends in my Area, Queer Friends on the Internet

Virtues

I'm creative. And kind of smart. And generous. Sometimes. If I like you. I like bandanas. And I'm a ginger! Who doesn't like a ginger? Well, I'm sure lots of people don't. But not you, right?

Vices

I am LAAAAA-zee. And messy. I procrastinate like nobody's business, and I regularly misjudge my strength and injure people. But I always feel really guilty afterwards, if that makes it better. And then I hug them. Sorry injured people!!!!!!!! Also, I'm socially awkward, and I dance like those people who dance like they're making fun of really bad dancers, because, truthfully, I can't dance for SHIT. And apparently I'm a fan of run-on sentences.
